Mod's note: Post copied from existing thread as reference material in club equalisation discussions

You had better read the following document before you hit the WTF button ( Chief we need one of these) and put Vlad's document into context. Vlad is like Wayne Swan and co, they spin a 4 year forward estimate budget spend as if it will all happens this year. It's like the bullshit when the AFL wanted to move North to the GC. They spun it as a $100mil deal, but $54mil was the base distribution + TV monies which they would get if they stayed at Arden Street.

Club funding and equalisation strategy 2012-16 Presentation to the Media 26 September 2011

All 18 clubs will get at least $50mil of distributions from the AFL over the TV deal period of 2012-16.

Base distribution - in 2011 it was $6.182mil. It goes up each year by the amount the slary cap goes up
2012-16 Base distribution estimates - $670mil/18 = $37.22mil each club. But year 4 and 5 of salary cap increases isn't set in stone so if that goes up more than the budget so will the base distribution.

Bonus distribution - This was the $1.2mil/year/club when the TV deal went from $500mil to $780mil. This is in the 2012-16 TV deal as well
$1.2mil x 5 years = $6.0mil each club

Club Future Fund
1. Equal distribution

Every club gets $3.25mil between 2012-16 ($500k + $575k + $650k + $725k + $800k) This is basically the extra monies from TV and media rights deals going from $780mil + $60mil internet rights to $1,253mil in total.

2. Disequal Distribution 2012-14
Western Bulldogs and North $7.0mil each
Melb $5.8mil
St K $5.7mil
Rich $4.7mil
Port, Bris, Syd $3.9mil
Ess $1.5mil
Freo, WCE, Carl, Col $1.0mil
Adel, Haw, Gee, GC, GWS - $NIL

3. Disequal Distribution 2015-16
$37mil has not been specifically allocated to clubs yet

GC and GWS New markets distribution
The 2 new clubs will get a combined $65mil distributions between 2012-16.

Other Distributions
1. AFL membership.

If you tick a club support box the club gets a share of the AFL membership fees. In 2011,
Collingwood - 12,539 of which 9,480 are adults. Collingwood got 9,480 x $138 = $1,308,240 in distributions. They get some for consessions I think $82 and some for the kids.
Bulldogs - 1,716 of which 1,340 are adults for which the Bulldogs got a distribution of $184,920
Port - 148 of which 137 are adults for which Port got a distribution of $18,906

2. Travel subsidies, signage, prize money and licensing fees

3. Strategic partnership distributions to help clubs with services capabilities eg IT, membership, HR services

4. Facilities development distributions.

So the $60mil Bulldogs figure is the total 2012-16 distributions. Not $60mil on top of the base monies.

*bump* This thread can be a starting point reference and update for discussions around AFL club equalisation strategies and so-called handouts which some supporters want to claim only apply to Port (key words: Poort, handouts, tarps :rolleyes:)

Thanks FF, REH. For those posters reading this there had been a little behind the scenes discussion going on about setting up some sort of resource about our club's financial situation. Because even as a very interested supporter I have no idea. General grants, tied grants, loans, etc.
Obviously the thread as it is is not yet that resource but if we all roll up our sleeves it may become it. I imagine a few general comments along the way (including this one) may need to be weeded out to condense the actual information. But maybe not.
