Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 14

[JUSTWORK]

Greg Phillips inducted into the AFL hall of fame. AFL app uses a picture of him in the Prison Bars, Eddie must be hyperventilating.

These clubs don't get that being continuously in primetime slots is a handout. Some say that you have to earn it, but clearly Carlton for example makes that statement false.

Why in a fair and equitable competition would you need to earn equality?

This whole notion in the AFL that some clubs are entitled to preferential treatment is ludicrous. I've posted before that there'd be plenty of execs at AFL HQ with KPIs around maximising revenue and profit but I wager there'd be no one with a KPI along the lines of ensuring a fair and equitable competition.

 

[GranFormaggi]

So the AFL sign an agreement with the MCG on behalf of all clubs and 6 get a windfall.

They're the "lifter" clubs. The other 12 are the "leaners"

Not even 3mil on a per club basis.
Maybe if the vics treated the comp as a national competition they could easily double that.

 

[Duck Farmer]

So the club's that actually get the home ground advantage from the AFL deal until 2057, are also the ones receiving money's due to the good will of the deal?

Whats that? These are also the club's that whinge that other club's get too much handouts whilst also having a monopoly on national FTA coverage?


fu** I wish the AFL was ran like the NBA or the premier league sometimes

If Gil ran the EPL Man Utd, Liverpool, and Chelsea would play each other 5 times in the regular season and would enter the FA Cup in the quarterfinals.

Also sorry Cardiff, you must wear some random coloured training kit at home because it clashes with the away side (Chelsea).

We should let the referees pick the Player of the Season right after we triple the number of London clubs. Plus Spurs get to play every Friday night.

Not for profit organisation.

But even not for profit organisations should be seeking to maximise there revenue.

 

[bomberclifford]

Not for profit just means that the profits don’t get dispersed to shareholders or directors. It doesn’t mean it’s a charity or that it runs at a loss.

A large portion of the AFL's profits are distributed to the clubs, $314.7M in 2019. All the distributions below come from profit not from borrowings;

Has any indigenous player ever had glowing statements to say about that franchise?

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Wow, they’ve smashed McLeod haven’t they. No wrapping their arms around him and finding out what they could do. He’s been ‘othered’ and ousted from the boys club. He’ll need to come crawling back or feel the brunt of the ambassadors!

lol, welcome to last Tuesday.

 

[bomberclifford]

Pauly V or Russell E need to get on the phone to Bunji ASAP.

Get him in to the club, get around him, make him feel welcome.
Bring him back to the fold but don't publicise it.
Word will spread anyway.

 

[Smithy7]

I am as slow as the Advertiser. And yes, I know it was last Tuesday. Thanks for reminding me.

They're literally proving his point without even realising it.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The crows could have put it back on Mcleod by saying he is always welcome and they'll be giving him a call to see what they can do to. Instead it's straight on the Judas train with no dialogue or introspection.

This will cost them more players lmao.

 

[Grave Danger]

I'd laugh if this happened and the new owners boned McGuire

Tbf it's hard to find your way back to the club when you're blindfolded and have the Richmond theme song blaring in your ears.
