Could see the first drowning at an AFL game

WA Football in trouble? Being kept out of any growth in revenue from Perth Stadium hasn't helped. They have a fixed 10 year x $10.3m / year deal to replace the revenue stream they received from Subiaco oval and then after 10 years the $10.3m is indexed by CPI.

Any revenue growth will be from the royalty fee the 2 WA clubs pay to WAFC/WA Football because they get a bigger stadium yield out of Perth Stadium compared to Subiaco.

The SANFL gets a slice of the growth in revenue out of AO. The licence buy back fees from the 2 SA clubs finish in 2028.

The AFL might have put in train the goal to spend 10% of its revenue into game development each year for a decade and announced that will be over $1bil, but it never provides a breakdown how much per state/territory, by gender, by participant, by league etc.

The AFL's long run goal is to to expand in the northern markets and turn WAFC and SANFL into 100% subsidiaries ie AFLWA and AFLSA, just like the other 6 states and territory footy organisations are. The distribution of game development $$$ is one way it slowly meets that long run goal.

West Coast have the money to fund a big chunk of WA footy development, but why would they do it, if they don't get any rights to players?

Listened to that. Is Duffield wrong in saying only the WA Clubs fund their state system? Pretty sure us and the Crows do too through AO as you said.
The Queensland clubs getting a combined $60 million more than the WA clubs is Eye watering though. The AFLs goal has always been about ultimate control.

The 2 WA clubs are the only ones left paying a royalty on the WAFC owned licences. SA clubs are buying back their licences so its a licence payment.

Supposedly we have finished paying for ours - Koch keeps saying we have no debt with the SANFL, the crows will make their final payment of approx $900k in 2028.

For 2024 the WA clubs' 2024 distribution from the AFL was $16.9m WCE + $19m Freo vs 2 Qld clubs' distribution of $34m GC + $30m Brisbane.

I disagree. It's just not funny in the way it was intended.

The Crows are often referred to as the Clowns. Context for joke

 

[NoddyHolder]

I thought we were supposed to call them the croms now. I think that one is funny because an m is like an upside down w

I say it every year, mostly to myself, but it's going to be a long off season.

I can't believe what he said.

We still have the following topics left to cover:

Let's have a PB jumper with Teal Bars (or some other random abomination).
Let's change the Club song.
Let's change our name to the Pirates.

I knew I'd get a response by mentioning Pirates.....

Transurban Group chairman and former Geelong president Craig Drummond is set to replace longstanding AFL chairman Richard Goyder on the football code’s ruling body, ending a tumultuous recruitment process.

The AFL Commission has been searching for an executive to replace Goyder after he told clubs of his plans to retire from his role following eight years as chairman. AFL club presidents were informed on Tuesday that Drummond had received endorsement to join the commission.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Just what the AFL needs, more Geelong people running the game.

When is his first audit?

I heard it's already been done. That's how he got the job

Anyone got a Ouiji board for Brad the brain?

 

[Jonts]

Why is there rookie lists and not just bigger main lists then have cat B seperate?

There is no way that if you were starting the game from scratch you would come to this current set up and the best option
