Victorian AFL clubs alone in debt up to 46 million

[Raiderdave]

Fairfax Media revealed early this month that only one-third of the clubs had achieved a profit last year, with the game's most challenging club - Greater Western Sydney - recording an operating loss of more than $500,000 despite the AFL pouring $20.16 million in grants into the fledgling club, $3.25 million more than originally budgeted. The Giants also suffered a fall in marketing and sponsorship income.

Yeah AFL really underestimated how different Western Sydney is to Melbourne.
It is like setting up an AFL team in Northern England and expecting Football and Rugby League fans to suddenly follow AFL.
