It's what the history of the AFL has told me. The AFL persisted with the Swans bleeding money for years, now they're the biggest club in NSW. The AFL persisted with Brisbane, had faith in a merger with Fitzroy and then they win 3 premierships and still have an average crowd that's above 20,000 despite being shit for a few seasons. The AFL signed an agreement to give them ownership of Etihad Stadium in 2025, in the late 1990's. That's where the big $ will be made then. The AFL have something called 'patience'. The nRL could do with some.

You people are so brainwashed, the Swans were in liquidation 12 months and will be again once there prize money runs out. Half your sides are on welfare. The AFL are losing millions every year.

As opposed to 15 of 16 clubs needing to survive on nRL handouts...

AFL clubs could easily post huge profits if they cut back on football department expenditure, however current trends suggest that this will not happen any time soon and could be a big issue in a few years time. Time will tell. AFL clubs turnover more money each year than 15 nRL clubs could ever imagine.
