Does it seem coincidental to you that the Etihad tenants are the ones who get this extra money?
Not at all, and that's what's worrying. Why does the AFL feel the need to hold the whip hand like that if the amounts are roughly the same?
The 'rich tax' is across the board, and more Vic clubs would pay it if they got better stadium deals.
As for funding grass roots...Yeah, you do that, but that's a payment to your franchise owners, not the AFL (nb. The AFL also gives WAFC and SANFL millions), so does nothing to fund the game in NSW, QLD or Tas...
Really? I thought the majority came from the WA/SA AFL clubs, but can't find any figures on that.
