Unfortunately in SA there is a media bias against Port, so the moronic journos will try and pull out anything they can to try and create a headline, so they remove the equalisation funds from Port's financial result to try and make it look worse than what it is. Go figure.
The article they made about the Crows financial result was a profit, but when you remove the fine they receive from their salary cap cheating they are in the red. The Crapvertiser doesn't bother mentioning that though, as they're pretty much not allowed to write anything anti-Adelaide Crows.
Don't fall for media bias Raiderdave. Like you say... "scanning.. scanning... News Ltd"
The AFL arrange their draw to enhance crowds and ratings so the greatest number of AFL fans get to see the best games. Teams like Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton, and the teams in form, are scheduled more blockbuster games which also means they earn more revenue. To compensate the less popular teams the AFL use an equalisation fund so teams like port arent disadvantaged for less revenue from being scheduled less blockbusters.
Before dopes like Raiderdave claim this is a rort the NRL do the same by scheduling the broncos almost every Friday night irrespective of their form. However their lowly teams like the Raiders are left with 1/3rd of the Broncos revenue with no compensation for their pathetic FTA TV schedule. Now thats a farce

POWER FAILURE
Friday, December 7, Alberton.
Port's nightmare season went from bad to worse when its operating deficit was revealed as being a whopping $6.3 million before grants.
An The Advertiser investigation found the $4.1 million trading deficit the club initially reported did not include the AFL grant of $1 million for the transition to Adelaide Oval.
Then there was the previously unreported $1.2 million which is understood to have come from the AFL as the club struggled to pay bills.
