2024 Annual Reports

I went to the NRL schools grand final function. Basically said it's their big push to get up the development numbers. Going to be non competitive in primary schools and eventually withdrawing support from our PSSA representative pathway which is a shame. But all the gala days, tag, tackle, 7s etc are all play for fun.

Primary school near me in QLD has AFL clinics, a few kids turn up, have a “skills” session with the AFL commies and they all get afl ball at the end of the session. The next day they’re using those ref balls to play touch/RL on the field

As a primary school kid in Western Sydney in the 90s the AFL would send their Auskick folk out every few years for a school visit. There’d be about half a dozen kids who played (most were from Melbourne or Adelaide) and would take it seriously. The rest would refer to League as real football to wind up the guy teaching us to play who realised pretty quickly he was trying to piss up a rope.

We had Isaac Heeney come out to school last week. Out of 500 kids only 2 knew who he was.

42 million revenue with no lc grant and in a market with so many other teams is nuts

And they were awful last season too

The eventual move to Allianz will see them crack 50 million pa

How can gate receipts be so low?
I know members get in free, but over 12 home game, with 200k attendees?
