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

[leeroy*NRL*]

NZ looks to be the team to be locked in for the 20th Team (VERY LIKELY)

It can also be revealed that the NRL’s 20th team will be based in New Zealand if one of three proposed Kiwi bids can table robust business plans that satisfy the ARLC’s international expansion desires

20th club be added to the league in 2029, one year after the entry of Papua New Guinea, the new franchise will deliver an estimated $120 million to the NRL in a TV rights coup

If NZ cannot stack up, NRL Commission will look at QUEENSLAND

The NRL is the biggest sport in Australia says AFL identity. Incoming truth serum fumblers:

[WookieReturns]

Come on sooks. Do better pal. What do you think about the NRL's record broadcast deal??? Surely you've got a bag full of negatives to prove the deal ain't that good after all. Give us the facts. Well not the actual facts. The sookie facts lololololol!!!!!!!!!!

[leeroy*NRL*]

lol fucking tony cochrane sure.

a bloke who was on the board for 9 years and 7 years as Chairman of the AFL run Sun's

Yes and he ran the Suns so well didnt he. The man is a big mouth with no influence in the AFL. League has its crackpots, the AFL has them too.

Cockrain is right. NRL is dominating right now.... only in the key sydney demographic, though. All the LBGTQ bars in Sydney only exclusively show NRL these days. In fact, I think the IP addresses of leagueunlimited forum posters and a few NRL posters from here have also been pinged from those bars as well. Would explain a lot.

tsk tsk tsk terry don't be homophobic. I think it's a great thing for the NRL to be the leader in the LGBTQ community. Unless you have a problem with that statistic? I suggest you join your fellow fanbase, and embrace the community that represents you so well.
