That’s true. I wonder what specifically declined in events / partnerships? The merchandising decline also was notable and I supposed fed into on field fortunes.- Word Count: 25

Official Club Stuff 2025 Annual Reports
Reasonable to say plenty going on in 2025 off field at the Blues. Significant investments in joint ventures and other investment vehicles using cash on hand. Its operating result was a little down compared to 2024 reflecting the big drop off in crowds and this clearly impacted match revenues...- Word Count: 90

How do you know? They haven’t released the figures for a few years so I assume you’re guessing or using old 2022/23 data.- Word Count: 26

Yes from a reporting perspective it makes sense... In reality, the result before depreciation and amortisation is the more meaningful figure. It truly reflects operating performance and working capital. The bottom line is impacted by non cash items which in essence are a little irrelevant when...- Word Count: 51

On what basis does Collingwood deserve an assistance package? Does this reflect the leagues insistence that it must have Collingwood up the top of the comp to deliver growth? I’m bemused by this. 😐- Word Count: 34

Official Club Stuff 2025 Annual Reports
I don’t believe so. Essendon’s stadium & matchday returns were primarily driven lower by a mix of factors including: Mix of home games, only Richmond of the big clubs as home team 5/11 home games against interstate teams (incl Giants / Suns) 5/11 x Wed / Thurs night fixtures Poor on field...- Word Count: 110

Correct. It’s a case of investing in growth. When membership and its related activities increases, so do servicing costs etc. It’s good to see a nice example of growth unlocking growth. I don’t know if there were any league wider drivers that would assist revenue growth in gate takings etc. I...- Word Count: 120

Predictably strong. At top line level it appears a very sound result. Although they should be making hay while the sun is shining! A well run club off field too.- Word Count: 30

Analysis AFL vs NRL in Qld
Funny thing Vlad has always said he thoughts the Giants could be a giant club whilst the Suns more a niche club. I see it completely different. Over the next 20-30 years I can see a world where the Suns are a big club if they capitalise on this generation. The growth of the Gold Coast and SEQ...- Word Count: 82

Which club has the larger fanbase - Essendon or Carlton?
That’s my read too. Whilst it’s easy to dismiss SuperCoach and Morgan, they’re really strong ‘National’ surveys of support given they aren’t influenced by on field fortunes at all. They’re much more relevant than the other ‘traditional’ metrics. Adding strength to their validity is they’ve...- Word Count: 160

Fixture 2026 Fixture
The Essendon average is almost certainly held down by the clubs inability (the clubs fault for going there btw) to fill the thousands of member reserved seats that are empty every week. Essendon can’t actually get more than 45,000 into the stadium as a result. This is why the club is introducing...- Word Count: 150
