Western Bulldogs among the six clubs to go it alone
In a remarkable turn of events, the Western Bulldogs will be one of at least six AFL clubs who draw on their own funds to survive, outside of player payments, during the game’s financial crisis.

In a remarkable turn of events, the Western Bulldogs will be one of at least six AFL clubs who draw on their own funds to survive, outside of player payments, during the game’s financial crisis.
The Bulldogs have confirmed that, due to their balance sheet – which includes substantial cash reserves – they will be among what the AFL is referring to as ‘‘unassisted’’ clubs who will self fund during the COVID-19 lockdown period.
The other five clubs known to be funding their operations, besides player payments, are West Coast, Richmond, Collingwood, Hawthorn and Adelaide.
There we have it folks. We have the big six, then the minnows like Gold Coast, Essendon, GWS and Carlton.
Sorry minnows, only supporters of the big six should bask in their own reflected glory and splendour here. No surprises the big clubs are the ones who have appeared at the pointy end of the season (Grand Finals) in recent years.
