quick sums

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

Difference 167mill

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.

yeah its interesting>
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.
