Thats all that really needs to happen. More evenly share the spoils of the rich clubs. As if Collingwood need 75 Million a year. If they shared their gate receipts for games the poorer clubs would get an instant cash injection.

Either way the AFL are well aware of the issue and will ensure the game prospers. Theyre not the number one league and sport in the country for nothing

They are not number one in New South Wales and Queensland! Look at the number of clubs for the codes huh? That's prospering? HAH!

i never said they were. But they have a presence in every state which the nRL certainly does not. They are number 1 on TV, crowds, memberships, media, money, everything.

number 1.

Where is 55 percent of the population? New South Wales and Queensland. That's good enough for us for now with Melbourne and NZ represented as well. All we need is a better TV deal and we can expand!

and the AFL have 4 teams in these states. The AFL have 1 in AFL states

The AFL have 2 teams and 2 jokes. And what does that second comment mean, Mr Confused?

The population stat means fuck all if you have a presence in these areas. The AFL has at least 2 teams in every mainland state of Australia, the nRL has 1 team in 3 combined mainland states of Australia. 'Nuff said.

well given I dont work for the AFL, or have access to their details, thats likely true. However the AFL do and have dealt extremely well with their finances before. I see no reason to think this wont continue.

Oh yeah right! Chucking money at a lost cause called the Giants is sound financial management? HAH!

Stew, compare the codes in the two states where the majority of the Australian population lives and then try to gloat on club numbers!
