TV RIGHTS KICK OFF

[Bbear]

The next AFL deal should be bigger than any NRL deal.
It only needs an increase of 18 % to beat it, as it currently stands $643 million vs $ 757 million
Does anybody really think that the AFL deal won't increase by more than this margin in several years time. ?

The next AFL deal should easily be worth more simply because streaming platforms are a much bigger factor than only a few years back in 2022..
If the AFL deal was negotiated today , then don't be so sure who would get the more lucrative deal.

When you're consider all the financial metrics AFL is Australia's biggest sport, your only need to compare total revenue to see this gap. The broadcasting industry recognises this fact.

One of the factors not in the AFLs favour is that they have wasted far too much money keeping afloat surplus bankrupt clubs in the saturated Melbourne market.

Clubs such as Kangaroos are a negative investment and are worth nothing to any future broadcast deal. Money would have been better spent exploring opportunities in the Pacific and NZ regions., growth areas that would be worth a lot to broadcasters.

AFL was once one of the biggest sports in PNG until the terminal decline was not arrested in the 1980s, poor decision by the AFL for not having made PNG a priority.
Some Melbourne clubs should have merged to make way for better investments.

by the time AFL start its new deal it will be 2032 and that will be the 5th year of the NRL Deal.

(i think most certainly the AFL will increase) i think they will need bigger figures and more content.

they cannot walk into next deal in 2032 with the same comp and numbers.

that is why the AFL have made some big changes

WILD CARD
TASMANIA entering 2028
ORIGIN Revived
Womens Internationals
and more to come.

they are looking at more content to give to the broadcasters.

financially the AFL in front> though things are changing quite quickly.
NRL and AFL are run differently..

St Kilda
Kangaroos
GWS
SUNS

have bleed the AFL dry over the past 15 years.)

(also NRL deal will be higher than 757mill in 2028 and again in 2029)
20th team will add a few hundred million) entry 2029
and PNG will be small but still add to the number.

$800mill plus. PA

what is also interesting is AFL deal already has Inflation baked into deal
so you cannot say the deal would be higher as it already installed from 2025 to 2031 in that figure of 4.5bill

Also AFL deal includes $400mill contra and Telstra
