WA BEARS

It varies, not sure why so low now but at one time is was nearer $9mill. Maybe the stadium deal the WAFC got meant a reduction on the license fee.

Last year WAFC revenue was $36mill (QRL $47mill). But they only got $5mill from AFL (QRL $28mill from NRL). Most is generated at a state level. Royalty income is the 2 AFL club payments and State funding is mostly the stadium deal.

Yeh the money in all the states leagues is crazy

The Cronulla fan from Tasmania is having a meltdown on an English league forum about wa getting an nrl team and the impact this will have an afl

FMD had a major giggle and can’t wait till the teams announcement for further salt

Time will tell. QRL is the barrier and most of the Qlnd NRL clubs would rather their own reserve team than farm players out. When the new clubs come in and the inevitable dilution of talent happens the calls will get louder and louder.

It's going to be interesting if/when NRL Reserve Grade happens.

Questions like Do NRL teams need firsts, reserves AND state-league teams?
Should they be allowed teams in state league?
What does the relationship between State League teams and reserves/firsts look like in that scenario?

Admittedly that would be a more striking change to the NSW Cup than Qld Cup, given that could only mean Redcliffe dropping out of Qld Cup (if they weren't allowed a team in Qld Cup as well as Reserves/Firsts)... BUT it could also open the door to the NSW Cup having more regional teams outside of Sydney - or even interstate/NZ teams, making it less "Sydney Suburban" and more "State-wide", just how the Qld Cup has evolved.

The Revenue quoted above is revenue generated by the actual WAFC corporate entity. Note that consolidated Revenue for the WAFC was 198.69m last year. West Coast and Fremantle are 100% owned subsidaries of the WAFC and included in the concise report.

I read the west coast eagles pay the wafl a fee each year like five or ten million dollars

I’m guessing the dockers do too

Its dependent on the profit they make.

seems like only people who think it'll happen is people who have no clue about the state game in nsw and qld.

hence why perthwrongs reckons itll happen because that drongo is absolutely clueless about the game anywhere, period. 0 idea. he reckons by standing in his patio and pointing his binoculars out east he can see how the game in queenslands is.
