He said the AFL “breaks even” from the game, while Port Adelaide and St Kilda recorded considerable financial benefit from playing at Jiangwan Stadium.

“(It costs us) not really anything … we might make a few dollars this year … we basically break even,” McLachlan said on 3AW.

“Port Adelaide and St Kilda are both making nearly a million dollars. It’s not costing anything. It breaks even for the AFL and the clubs are making money.

“China is a big market for Australia – and we think we can make money in the end … (to reinvest) in community, women’s football.

“This notion we’re spending money that could have been used elsewhere … ultimately we think it’s a huge commercial opportunity which we can then reinvest.

“There’s a couple of million bucks made net by the clubs, so that helps their club operations.”

AFL boss defends China game
– Lauren Wood

League chief Gillon McLachlan has defended the AFL’s push into China, saying it will result in more money being poured into the grassroots of the game.

McLachlan, who led the league’s contingent of executives in Shanghai last weekend, said the corporate opportunities of the region were simply too fruitful to ignore.

He said the AFL “breaks even” from the game, while Port Adelaide and St Kilda recorded considerable financial benefit from playing at Jiangwan Stadium.

“(It costs us) not really anything … we might make a few dollars this year … we basically break even,” McLachlan said on 3AW.

“Port Adelaide and St Kilda are both making nearly a million dollars. It’s not costing anything. It breaks even for the AFL and the clubs are making money.

“China is a big market for Australia – and we think we can make money in the end … (to reinvest) in community, women’s football.

“This notion we’re spending money that could have been used elsewhere … ultimately we think it’s a huge commercial opportunity which we can then reinvest.

“There’s a couple of million bucks made net by the clubs, so that helps their club operations.”


And this is what Gilty also said in the same article:

"McLachlan admitted he was “a bit” disappointed by the large chunks of empty seats at the stadium, but said it was partly a symptom of the ground’s ticketing arrangements.

“There’s a challenge in the way that the catering and service works that you need to be in a marquee,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people in tents and they need to be allocated a seat."

Yep........he's gone back to the 'ol 'they were all in the hospitality tents' line lololololol!!!!!! Ya deadset can't make this shit up lolololol!!!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!!

So yeah......I'd have to take his boast of Port and SK making a million bucks each with a grain of salt. Or maybe a pinch of kau rou in the over populated marquee's lololololol!!!!!!!!!

i am pretty sketchy of the words that comes from Gill's mouth these days..

of course it would be called sketchy from you league loons as its a successful financial move from the AFl

Good to hear the game in China pays for itself and the clubs make a nice return.

How stupid are you .
.
An ex players opinion on what should happen is nothing like stating a blatant lie about how many peopel got lost on way to stadium .
You are the dumbest human being god ever punched an arsehole into

im sure he's devastated.

In the end even if he's telling porkies it's the AFLs money to do with what they want

See the above is the difference between afl fans & RL fans .
You don't seem to have an issue with a master bullshit artist continually bullshitting you .

RL fans are vastly different ..
That is ..not brainwashed .

I think, like most comments I see or hear, that the China match is a joke. Whilst it is Ports idea and they did it to make money, I think it is a bad look for the game regardless. I know port need the money but there had to be better ways. The “cost” to the image and integrity of the game outweighs any financial gains made.

Could you imagine the News LTD press if Greenberg started talking about hundreds of buses not turning up, the cover ups and the constant lies and bullshit that spews out Gilligan's mouth.

Yep RL doesn't need a propaganda dept .
Doesn't need a bloke running it who has massive issues with the truth .
RL has had & still has many issues .
But straight out lying isn't one .
