It was the bigger cash cow and thus worth more money. No one will argue that.
But you did say it doesn't cost Port anything to have a reserves team when in fact they paid heaps for the privilege.
A licence to play in the AFL whether it be the one they were sub leasing or the one the Power were sub leasing, is just that a licence to compete in the league. If they purchased the licence that the Power were using for $6.9 million how would that have changed their revenue. I am actually just trying to show you the factors that may have come into play on why the whole situation doesn't make sense to anyone because no one is privy to the deal, its more than just, its the return from the Oval which we don't even know!
