West Coast on its way to being a financial behemoth, to the extent it isnt already. Cannot see the run of profit ending anytime soon, even with a period of time out of the 8. Massive assets, huge corporate returns. The fact it is oversubscribed for members means even a drop off in crowds if the team stinks it up for a few years will not hurt as much as most clubs, as a lot of those empty seats will already be paid for.

Another 5 - 10 years will put a massive amount of daylight between them and the rest of the comp, and nothing short of a calamity will stop it.

The interesting thing is what they're going to do with all that cash. The development at Lathlain I believe is all paid for, and I don't know if they have any plans for the future in terms of where to invest their profits.

It's an interesting issue for over profitable not for profits. In a lot of other sports, they would just outspend everybody else. Increase payments to the WAFC?
They will be able to pour money into their women's team.

Is saints handout counted as profit?
There down in nearly every earnings category except afl distribution

The AFL annual distribution is counted as revenue. Whether it's above average or below average, it's still revenue.
Revenue - expenses = net profit.

What has this got to do with the 2019 results, surely there is somewhere else better suited to the conversation. Its interesting, just not here

No handout, no profit.

There is somewhere else better suited to a question about what the Eagles do with the money they made? Where is that?

If we can not discuss anything but the underlying profit, it will be a short discussion. Its yay big. Done.

To be honest, I thought I was responding in a different thread.

 

[blaisee]

It will be Very interesting to see what the turnover figures look like for 2019.

I expect Richmond to break the $90 million mark .

 

[telsor]

No handout, no profit.

Define 'handout'.

$s above the unequal distribution.

So WCE had a million dollar handout last year? (prize for winning the flag).

I’d expect so. A premiership as well as revenues from their non football investments will propel the figure. But yes it will likely be in that region. All depends on what the Leisure centres generate. What did they generate in 2018?

Are they profitable, its a competitive business.

$79m total. ($14,237,718 from health, fitness and community groups which appear to have made a whole 77 odd thousand with expenses of ($14,160,181)

I think 90 might be a stretch im thinking 84-85

 

[telsor]

Why bother?

Because a lot of so called 'handouts' are actually legitimate funding, and it's annoying to have people who should know better pretend otherwise.

Fitness profitability is low because it was still expanding rapidly and had a lot of startup expenses. Given the growth has slowed (or at least, I think it has, I haven't been watching THAT closely), you'd hope it would be more profitable now.

The ability of these 'handouts' to turn a loss into a profit, I'll call it for what it is.
I'm happy to acknowledge the basic club distribution, just want more transparency.
Peter Gordons comments are considered, perhaps consider them, preferably in another thread, not here. Not personal.
