As the AFL intensifies efforts to close the gap between rich and poor clubs, the game's wealthiest franchises have learned they will each receive an estimated $8.6 million next year, which in real terms means they will receive no lift from the richest sport media deal in Australian history. The poorer clubs, led by 2016 preliminary finalist Greater Western Sydney, are expected to receive more than $20 million at the bottom of a sliding scale that has been presented to the AFL Commission.
Gold Coast, Brisbane and St Kilda make up the bottom four and biggest welfare recipients.
Fremantle chief Steve Rosich confirmed the Dockers had voiced disenchantment in a presentation to the AFL. He told Fairfax Media: "We have concerns going forward with the AFL's investment model." He added: "We are very pleased to be paying our way and will record our ninth consecutive profit this year."
While Hawthorn CEO Stuart Fox was the most vocal in challenging the AFL's new model at the most recent meeting of the 18 clubs, Collingwood is understood to be fighting for the biggest funding boost pushing the league for close to an extra $1 million annually from the new TV deal.
The successful clubs have argued their popularity and/or success has significantly grown the game and their strong on-field performances should have seen some financial uplift from the AFL. Fox received some support from West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett at the CEOs talks and the Hawks and the Eagles remain confident the AFL has taken their protests on board.
The wealthy clubs' disappointment comes as it has emerged only a handful of clubs will record genuine profits this year with 13 to lose money in real terms or at best struggle to break even.
Richmond, after recording profits for a decade, are expected to record a small loss off the back of a disappointing season, with Port Adelaide's dismal season seeing that club record a loss despite significant AFL funding. While Carlton has improved its bottom line the club will still record a loss in the high six figures and Sydney hopes to break even with only a grand final appearance expected to place the Swans in the black.
Melbourne, the Bulldogs and North will all record profits but remain heavily reliant on AFL additional funding. The only clubs who will record profits in real terms are Hawthorn, West Coast, Fremantle, Collingwood and Adelaide.
