What can we actually use all our dollarbucks for?

[Broken_Chairs]

A 400% tax for 3 years being $500k over $8m or so is just absurd.

The real kicker is that those tax proceeds go straight to the AFL for distribution to those in need

So our meagure attempts to improve ourselves by spending an additional $500k per year off-field will cost us an additional $2m per year which will be sent directly to GC, Bris, GWS, Syd & NM

I liked Duffields idea from a few years ago, of the club buying itself out.

A share buy back?

And then the members / shareholders removed the WAFC from the board?

I'm struggling to see how that works if we aren't a listed company.

Buy more home games. The AFL probably won't allow it but you can try.

Just on this & Norfs.

It will be interesting to see how many ‘double ups’ Norfs have with WA teams while Norfs playing in Bunbury.

Year 1 - nil

We should invest heavily in our WAFL eagles team coaches. Then have them assist the AFL group. Buy houses for any potential recruit/assistant coaches businesses ect. I'm sure there's plenty of ways to rig the system.
Do some Geelong type shit.

Buy ourselves out from the WAFC as we pretty much act independently

WAFC gets a huge cash injection towards WA footy (likely **** it up)

Eagles can then spend money willingly as they please.

I don't understand why we can't do this, but also under the guise of the NGA - we should be able to establish a premium development path.

Create a commission to produce a report on how this is handled in other codes as well (e.g Barcelona, Ajax) and, at the same time, if an assistance package isn't provided, then we want to pre-list NGA picks for the next five years, ensuring we have the same capabilities as the Northern Clubs.

I would target the best/development assistants and pay them accordingly outside of the cap.

I'm pretty sure that was part of the deal - no double ups. And since they have the 2 games back to back, they potentially travel less to Perth than they would of otherwise.

Where they chose to play there home game shouldn't affect who they are fixtured to play twice - but it's the typical AFL / VFL fixture tampering.

The membership goodies should be a hell of a lot better than they are considering we can't actually spend dollars on football development

We should pay $20m a year to never have to leave WA

When we are competitive again paying to pay vic teams at the G instead of marvel/tassie would be worth it given the reluctance by the AFL to schedule WA teams there when competing
