NO TROLLS Is AFLW profitable yet

[Teen Wolf]

and yet couldn't make a profit from its men's team! Would also like to know where you found the evidence to support your statement.

I gathered the evidence from financial reports, government media releases, quotes from club presidents and board members, and a small amount of credible news articles. Some of which I've already provided in this thread.

Unlike your claim about NM's men's team, which is straight from your arse. **** off.

don't know if your comment is born of denial, ignorance or a complete lack of knowledge of the real numbers, and sources of funding that make up NM's profit and loss statements.
Read this article that appeared in The Age in 2022, Take particular note of how much NM loses just in the 4 years from 2017-20 without the additional prop-up funding. And, just to be clear, NM cannot support themselves because they'd make a loss every year were it not for the prop-up from the AFL.
What it shows is that NM is incapable of supporting itself, pure and simple! So who is the one talking out of their arse? I suspect you'll never admit it though!

AFL funding ladder revealed: $100m gap between top and bottom clubs

The size of the gap is a sore point for some power clubs, with Essendon president Paul Brasher demanding a say in how the next round of money is doled out.

Approx. $2m and 3000.

Works out to be about 12.5% and 7.5% of the men's comp.

You need to look a little further.

The TV rights distribution is club revenue. They are entitled to it, it cannot be withheld by the league. It is absolutely part of their revenue. As are is distributions from afl membership club support and centralised revenues - these are not discretionary league funding. Many clubs are actually proitable under this arrangement.

The step up disequal program is something else altogether. There are 4 or 5 clubs, two or three in Melbourne, that fall under this. They have been perenially small clubs ever since the days when everyone played on saturday afternoons and had no tv coverage. None of these clubs have gotten bigger or smaller in a relative sense.and its absoutely discretionary and can be removed by the league.

Show me actual quotes.



I didnt even see his post. And I still dont care. What we do know is that North Melbourne will show a specific distribution for AFLW in its reports.

This, published in The Age tells the true story. NM aren't the worst but they are one of the 4 Vic based clubs that rely on the largesse of the AFL to stay afloat. It dates from 2022 but nothing has changed. GWS & GC should never have been start-up clubs. Pressure should have been brought to bear for the least profitable of the 4 Vic clubs to relocate or merge before creating new clubs.

So it was free to enter a game of AFLW to everyone.

Then it was free for AFL members.
So if you are a Port Adelaide member, you could enter the Port Adelaide women's game for free at Alberton oval.

Now it's $5 to go to an AFLW game isn't it?

Approx. $2m and 3000.

Works out to be about 12.5% and 7.5% of the men's comp.

So average AFLW salary cap is 2 million.

And average AFLW crows is 3000?

Fair enough

Now it's $5 to go to an AFLW game isn't it?

Last H&A season was $15 entry for adults, up from $10 the year before. But there were also 76k AFLW members (typically cost $75) with matchday access.

Grand Final was $35 for adults and $5 for juniors, up from $20 for adults and free for juniors the year before. No discount for AFLW members.

Exactly. Plus I am pretty sure the AFL distributions match the player TPP

This is straight from the AFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement. I think clubs got around $1,89 million in dedicated AFLW distributions so that was virtually the TPPs

Quite likely the bigger clubs like Collingwood are revenue positive from their AFLW teams
