How many guernseys would each player go through in a year, and would the cost be totally covered by sponsorship?

And, Greta wanted me to ask what effect it's having on the environment

Seriously though, when I played the club got a new set every 5 years minimum!

 

[masai tu]

Interesting to sue a sponsor.

I think of it as a way to pad Jacks salary.

Eagles pay him $ xxxxxx, then the Worst ( Sorbent substitute ),pop in and pay him $ yyyyy.

In all the truth, not too sure what the Worst did wrong in the article. One of those rare media pieces with facts.

Today I learned that Mike Tyson is a centimetre shorter than Caleb Serong.

I hear what you’re saying! More than evander Holyfield can say.

 

[Joao]

I remember finding out Tyson isn't tall and been blown away. Imagine if he'd been 6 inches taller the power he would have had.

 

[Taylor]

Would Tyson have needed to fight above the heavyweight class if he were heavier? Did superheavyweight exist?

I'm not surprised. It was an awful injury saga. He looked troubled and somewhat under a cloud most of last season. Good on him for choosing to air his struggles and may 2023 bring Fyfey happier, better times.

He seems so Stoic.. was nice to hear he is human like the rest of us..not that I'm happy he has been struggling.
Just that he is human.
Fyfe has had the carry a lot the past 6 years.

the clubs posted an operating profit of 2.43mil, pretty good going without pokies as well

Have you been to Geelong? They rely
On gamblers to hand over their pensions through the pokies.

Imagine the ethics of Freo FC allowing gamblers to play on pokies set up by the club at the ARC with a bar so they can drink too.

same as brissy, actually a scourge in this city, local suburban clubs have facilities that make wafl clubs blush, all from the pockets of local residents lol

when i was living in perth playing at canning vale, we literally had change rooms out of a shipping container ffs different world

 

[Channels]

Bar 1 or 2 teams, that is how the NRL teams fund themselves.

How league clubs grew ‘fat, dumb and happy’ on poker machines

Rugby league wasn’t founded on pokie revenue, but it has flourished off the back of it. Now, the decades-old business model is being challenged by modern economics and a dose of ethics.

They're a bit fancy now haha, I don't play for them anymore but they've got real swish ones and it doesn't have the giant mud that develops due to lack of drainage in front of the change rooms.

Tbh, I'm surprised it's not brought up enough in circles that WA doesn't have pokies, something that should be strongly celebrated.

It's why V'Landys fought so hard during the start of the pandemic to get NRL back on screens within a couple of months: Without the T.V. revenue with all the Leagues clubs shut and not turning over their pokie profit literally every club outside of the Broncos and Roosters would've folded and the league would've gone under.

The AFL were able to establish a line of credit through Marvel that enabled them to be able to weather it (plus had somewhere between 4-6 clubs on their own without aid who also would've been able to weather it). For all V'Landys bluster about saying "The AFL should be thankful to the NRL for getting up and running": The AFL didn't need it to reopen quickly to survive and thus were in a far better position to just comply and establish good faith with all the state governments and just piggyback on the ballbusting the NRL had to do.

yeah im sure theyre nicer now, but these clubs out here have full on restaurants and obviously a big pokies room to fund it all

 

[Taylor]

The pokies revenue wasn't included in state funds for the purpose of distributing GST between the states the last time I looked at it too.

 

[Purple Suit]

It's such a crock. They think every state can earn it if they want so it shouldn't be part of the funding mechanism. Yet mining is considered not fair we can earn more than others yet some states choose not to exploit their natural resources which is their choice.

I'd argue states like Sydney have a lot more casino revenue due to their close proximity to Asia and their World City status but none of it matters in the carve up.

Reliance on pokies is the scourge of our communities. Governments rely on the tax revenue they bring as do the sporting clubs. WA needs to stand firm and not allow them, stuff the fancy bars and restaurants, built on the misery of OAPs.

Better to allow betting agencies to sponsor the sport and rake in the filthy lucre?
