Its not changing the point, I'm just showing you that despite their club reductions and our significant increase they still gave their clubs and players significantly more money than us last year.

When gill announced the tv deal my first reaction was he’s full of crap. Then baselinepanther provided the perfect explanation
Only 19 months until the AFL's cash claim of $473 per year can be verified, in the Feb 2024 accounts.. We will see if the figure holds up. OF course the Dill will have moved on by then. By latter this year world wide recession will be in full swing with inflation notching ever up, I can't see a good deal be settled then under them circumstances- so then maybe Vlandy NRL deal will look prophetic.- It was just meant to be!
Afl head office made savage cuts to spending to go with the loss in revenue. In addition to this many clubs took out loans which were guaranteed by the afl
the afl is now still repaying loans it took out during covid and who knows how much debt is owed by clubs that hasn’t been repaid.
And even with these savage cuts they are still bleeding money
this is why they axed gill his management of the game during covid was reactionary and way behind vlandys
But the point is they could have cut more if they chose to if break even or a surplus was the goal, but they know they didnt need to as the money was coming back in.

Add in the tens of millions in clubs debts guaranteed by the afl.
That's optimistic but you never know!
70 million won’t be enough to close the gap between nrl and afl given it’s currently a 140 million difference in both codes bottom line
$42mill to be precise and these are historic and nothing to do with covid. (In 2019 they had guaranteed $48.7mill of club bank loans)
hmmm, I think you dont understand the budget cycles and whats been happening lol.
I think your desperate to defend afl at any cost against rugby league fans lol
Wow it’s just a house of cards isn’t it
Yeah but if they migrate from Foxtel Sports HD to Kayo then they'll go from paying $74 to $25.
You posted yourself on your twitter that without the jobseeker afl clubs on the whole lost money last year. Yes I do read your posts quite a bit
