Richmond has announced a 5 year 'strategic partnership' with the Australian Defense Forces (apparently formalising stuff we've been doing since 2012 anyway)
Not sure if it'd be a revenue stream, although I can see how it could fit with the leadership, management training, and indigenous programs. More generally I suppose it could also raise the club's profile (especially outside Vic & ADF members from outside football states).

Melbourne United is going well, but a Essendon NBL side isn’t going to get any support from anybody who isn’t already a Essendon supporter, don’t think it will be a great decision.

Crows look like buying part of The Adelaide 36ers. Will be interesting to see if that alienates the 36ers supporters who follow Port

Owning teams in numerous league

Revenue stream for the players retirement fund (?), be interesting to see who of the chosen 50 best exploit it beyond the Telstra ambassador role :
Telstra and the AFL have announced a new player agreement to cross-promote the national competition and Telstra’s services that enhance fans’ access to AFL content.
The new deal, believed to be the first of its kind involving a sports league, players’ association and commercial partner, covers the entire AFL playing group and forms part of the AFL and Telstra’s digital rights agreement, which runs to 2022.
Telstra and the AFL will work with the players to generate digital content and facilitate player appearances to give fans more insight and access to their favourite players. This will include hosting AFL player content onto the combined, official AFL and Telstra digital network.
Every AFL player is available to create digital content that will be shared with footy fans.
Fifty star players from all AFL clubs across Australia will be selected, based on their profile and influence, to become Telstra Ambassadors. The 50 players will appear throughout the year at new, local Telstra store openings and participate in community events, such as coaching clinics, and exclusive meet and greet opportunities with fans.

WANTED: footy media personality, who are the likely starters other than Ben Brown, he's ready made, possibly too honest/straight up & down.

Interesting the numbers in the article. In NSW the market is saturated and licences can be and are traded. I've seen figures of more than $1m per machine.l in the press. That might be why the NSW clubs have no interest. The NRL clubs have always relied on them and as long as they have the licences they can replace the machines at will.

Melton again, always Melton, all the big Melbourne clubs are there to extract some coin out of the residents of Melton. Geez, they must have the highest disposable income in all of Australia.
Interesting that the one club which has legitimate ties to Melton, doesn't have a presence there.

I wonder if getting rid of pokies is more a shrewd business move more than any moral stance. Sell the licences now before the government cracks down and devalues them.
A bit like getting rid of a taxi licence prior to uber.

I was more thinking that the state will just tax them to kingdom come. More so than now.

I posted this on a Collingwood Board thread
I have no doubt the club has made this decision at a strategic commercial level first and foremost. For a start I'm pretty sure we signed a deal with Melbourne city council worth $3M that required us to get out of pokies within 10 years which would fall within the next licence period.
That aside, I for one am rapt the club is going to be pokies free at the end of the year

Eddie is well placed to know where the politics are going - a drop in stamp duty revenues could be replaced (painlessly to voters) by a jump in pokies taxes.
This is called Vocational currency and is needed as well as your min professional qual ie Cert 4 TAE.

Cafes at airports that serve food and drink with big screen TVs? Yeah, it's never been done before
