West Coast the most profitable club in Australia - AFL clubs 11 of the top 17.

[Swans4ever]

Interesting to see out of all NRL clubs Broncos are the only one with revenue above 40 mil. Swans even though less profit still surpass it by 5 mil!

[ParraEelsNRL]

Even though you read the part about the swans getting money from the AFL which helped them make a profit?

For fucks sake, don't just read the bits you like.

This is all bullshit anyway as has been stated a few weeks back in another thread dealing with this, the fucksticks don't take into account how much of that money is being invested back into the club via juniors or upgrades, some clubs like the roosters get an easy run, rich, no supporters, no juniors great stadium and don't have to pay for shit, others like the raiders and eels put a fortune into grassroots only to have parasites making a profit, steal all your top talent. Same for the AFL, they have profitable clubs in Victoria paying or subsidising all 4 expansion clubs to the tune of 200+ million, where was that in the list?

suckshit thickshit n01 the NRLOL no1 are irrelevant minnows! their revenue streams are a simple fucken joke!
those larger AFL teams make around the same in sponsorship dollars as the NRLOL clubs total football related revenue, including the $9 odd million grant money from the NRLOL distribution money! they are nothing but an embarrassing joke

The West Coast Eagles are the most profitable football club in the country, but only about one-third of teams across the four codes are managing to break even.

An Australian Financial Review analysis of the balance sheets of all the Australian teams in the AFL, NRL, Super Rugby and A-League competitions found only 17 teams were profitable in 2015.

Of those, at least five received additional funding from their governing bodies or substantial grants from the licensed leagues clubs in order to balance their books.

Only four clubs made a net profit of $1 million or more in 2014-2015, led by West Coast's record $5.5 million profit in a year when the club made the AFL grand final for the first time in nine years.

Profit for the Eagles was up from $4 million in 2014, thanks to surging membership income and an increase in revenue from hosting functions and special events.

The other clubs to crack the $1 million profit barrier were AFL grand final winner Hawthorn, defending NRL premier South Sydney and NRL grand final loser the Brisbane Broncos, as well as A-League winner Melbourne Victory and the AFL's Adelaide Crows.

Of the 17 profitable clubs, 11 were from the AFL, 4 from the NRL and 2 from the A-League. However, the AFL provided additional central funding to the Western Bulldogs, North Melbourne and Melbourne that allowed them to record small profits.

In the NRL, the Canterbury Bulldogs and Sydney Roosters received grants of $4 million and $3.155 million respectively, enabling them to balance their books.

AFL clubs North Melbourne, Adelaide and West Coast all achieved their profits without additional revenue or profits from poker machine income derived from the licensed venues operating under their ownership.
Losses in Super Rugby

None of the five Australian clubs in the Super Rugby competition made profits last year. The previously profitable Queensland Reds are reportedly set to soon announce a loss of up to $1 million. Despite hosting a final, the NSW Waratahs were also unable to break even for the year.

They were joined by the majority of NRL and A-League clubs in particular, though AFL teams such as Essendon, Carlton and Geelong recorded losses of between $1.3 million and $3.3 million. Even the NRL grand final winner, the North Queensland Cowboys, recorded a deficit in 2015, making a loss of $360,000 in a year when it won its first premiership.

Each of the four football codes are hopeful that better financial results are on the way, even though the AFL is currently guaranteeing about $50 million worth of debt across its 10 Victorian-based clubs, and the NRL has $30 million loaned to four teams.

The four governing bodies point to new broadcast deals that will deliver the AFL $2.5 billion over six years from 2017 onwards, the NRL five-year $1.8 million from 2018 and the Australian Rugby Union's $285 million contract that runs for five years from 2016. Football Federation Australia, meanwhile, is hopeful of doubling its annual TV rights to $80 million after its current contract with Fox Sports and SBS expires at the end of the 2016-17 A-League season.

It must be remembered the Swans do this to have 1st crack at a local product - the Vic based clubs essential get the same through father sons without having to spend a cent AND the best local talent with worrying about their players wanting to go home.

while your there dipshit digging through the annual reports go and put your sherlock homes glasses on and look up the football related revenue earn't by the clubs AFL & NRLOL

then get back to us on what an embarrassing abortion of a pissant minnow your NRLOL clubs really are

[eelofwest]

These are the first 3 clubs i looked at and it seems that i can already call bullshit on this article.

The implication being that the NRL clubs didnt have their leagues clubs counted I assume? Heres the fundamental difference. The pokie clubs and travel companies are OWNED by the actual incorporated football club in the AFL. In the NRL, the leagues clubs are largely separate entities who have a broad commitment to support the NRL club but they are NOT the same corporate entity.

The article is relatively correct in the sense that the football clubs are actually listed.

This reminds me of the regional ratings in Australia does not exist debate which has been found to be bollocks.

On a technicality yes your correct but in reality those leagues clubs are there to foster rugby league as it says in there charter, and they spend millions every year doing so.

You have to compare apples with apples when writing a article like that and i am surprised that the Fin Reveiw has done it with so many inaccuracies.

Nothing Article.

Profit is disposable income the fact they choose to spend it on junior development doesn't mean the 1 mil is not counted. Unlike RL clubs whose junior development is already self funded or paid by their leagues club is not the same thing as the club forking out - still the largest in Sydney!
