My radical plan for the AFL?

$71 million in annual cost savings

Tasmania in for 16 teams probably bringing things down to the $50 million saved mark

Expansion clubs’ massive financial leg-up: What the AFL paid your team in 2023​

New figures reveal Gold Coast and GWS were handed twice as much money by the AFL in distributions last year compared to the West Coast Eagles, reports JON RALPH.



The AFL’s vast challenge of growing the game in expansion markets has been laid bare by new figures showing the league handed $65 million to Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast in club distributions last year.
As the league invests time and money into an Opening Round concept that will see four marquee games played in northern markets, the AFL’s funding was released in its annual report.
Gold Coast and GWS were handed double the handout from the AFL in distributions – both over $32 million – compared to financial powerhouse West Coast ($15.7 million).
St Kilda led the Victorian clubs in funding again as the club successfully grows its membership and financial model.
The Saints paid out coach Brett Ratten in 2022, just months after re-extending his contract and will this year have to account for paying out chief executive Simon Lethlean in January.
The Saints were handed $24.736 million – fourth of all AFL clubs – but have reduced debt from nearly $14 million to $6 million as the club’s financial picture grows stronger.

St Kilda president Andrew Bassat hailed record membership growth and sponsorship profits as the club announced a $2.6 million operating profit.
The AFL handed clubs a total of $393 million in funding for the 2023 season.
As the AFL says in its annual report, the varying amounts are explained by prize money, travel subsidies, AFL membership-related distributions, AFL commercial partner payments, AFL-facilitated stadium payments and licensing distributions.
Some clubs have huge built-in advantages that help boost their bottom line, including more Thursday and Friday night games and better stadium deals.
St Kilda made nearly $13 million from its membership and match day revenue while Collingwood reaped $35.6 million from its membership and match day revenue.
Gold Coast led the tally of money handed out from the AFL on $33.114 million, followed by GWS on $32.494 million, with Brisbane in third ($27.727 million), St Kilda ($24.736) and North Melbourne ($24.356 million).
The AFL is determined to give those northern states markets a leg up with this round of marquee matches, which have helped them secure increased membership tallies earlier in the year.

Did a few months in Parkes (NSW) about 20 years ago. They sold it there too.

Funny part was it always ran out within a few days and you'd have to wait for next truck coming through

The Melbourne clubs which have had the most AFL assistance for the past 10 years need to go

Not convinced Gold Coast will work.

Should get back to 16 teams with Tassie & proper home & away.

More games, proper reserves, bigger squads.

It came across as tongue firmly in cheek to me. Tom’s never been the type to bag anyone, or anywhere, and has always been classy with what he says, even when he left the club.

There is no doubt.

There was nothing remotely wrong or offensive with what he said. He was having a yarn with a reporter.

The reporter’s employer then tweets “Tom TAKES AIM at SA!” because that’s how desperate and unscrupulous the mainstream media is to generate revenue.

The only thing he’s guilty of is perhaps being a little bit naive that they wouldn’t take those one or two innocent comments out of an entire interview and tweet it like he’s declaring war on SA.

He’ll know better next time.

People wonder why players just speak in platitudes and cliches and never say anything interesting — this is why.
