quick sums

2024 tv deal >> 475mill
2025 tv deal >> 642mill

Difference 167mill

Revenue rose 164mill

So all other revenue went down ?

2025 > 2031 tv deal >> how much contra and Telstra is in this deal.. (seems like quite alot)

Very good point Leeroy. It beggars belief that revenue other than TV money has actually gone backwards. The simple answer is that Fumblehouse lied about its current TV deal. Clearly the cash component is much less than they stated. Bearing in mind the fumblers are inveterate liars this seems to be the simple truth.

It will come out when the full report and financial statements are released!
Given its stated there has been an increase in revenue by x amount, the first thing you ask has other revenue gone down! Lol

of course revenue went up>>
it states it.. it also states revenue went up largely thanks to the tv deal.

that is why i added up the numbers..
of both tv deals>> it looks to be more contra and Telstra component within the deal.

like we know AFL combines everything into the tv deal and includes Telstra etc etc
so we do not get a good breakdown on who paid what.

Nice work makingshitup. Your punctuation and grammar have improved. However 'there' should be replaced by 'their' in this case. 'There' refers to a place, position or existence. 'Their' indicates possession (belonging to them). Hope this helps.

As to the content: it is rubbish pal. Please stick to the subject. The AFL revenue rose less than the supposed increase in TV money. I.E. other revenue areas decreased year on year or the cash component of the TV deal ain't what its cracked up to be. And neither is the Telstra component.

It would appear the AFL's stated broadcast deal ain't as flush with cash as fumblehouse makes out. Yep. They lie. Repeatedly.

Amazing theory Terrence, best leave that to the Leagues main forum where all those other conspiracy theories are discussed!

The AFLs numbers are released and reports sent off to the regulations and accounting offices

Its already in all the released numbers makingdumbnormal. Obviously you are not capable of understanding simple finances and accounting processes. It seems anything beyond your limited comprehension you call a conspiracy theory pal. That put's a hell of a lot conspiracy theories in your life. No wonder you're so confused lolololololol!!!!!!!!!!
