Aside from the video which I can't watch due to computer software issues, this thread has degenerated on both sides. There's a lot of complaining going on and it's coming from both directions.

If you think I'm complaining you are mistaken. I was simply venturing some advice. I can see now that it won't be taken so I'll move on.

But you just ignore that fact...Which is easy when you have your head up your arse.


With a poker machine addiction now embedded in the finances of AFL clubs, it is legitimate to question the league's self-proclaimed role as a champion of social responsibility.

Certainly, some people believe football's link with the pokies is damaging the community from which it draws its millions of supporters.

This week The Age reported that the 1317 poker machines in nine Victorian AFL clubs last year drained $85 million from the pockets of customers, a good proportion of whom are football fans. They would also make up a fair swag of the gambling addicts who, according to the voice of the anti-pokies movement and World Vision CEO, Tim Costello, contribute 40 per cent of this revenue.

AFL clubs have ignored an offer to help them get out of poker machines.

Victorian clubs instead are increasing their reliance on pokies cash.

It is now 19 months since AFL boss Andrew Demetriou said clubs had shown an interest in selling machines.

The league was "prepared to open the batting on being the intermediary for them", Demetriou said.

If my advice wasn't clear enough for you, King Eliagh, then you have some issues to deal with.

How the fuck does that happen .when claims are made with no FUCKING source .
& when asked for a source you are told to find it yourself.

then degenerates into YOU are a liar.

Its wishful thinking to think anything will improve without enforcing a source for claims ,or post is deleted..

Would save a shitload of time if any claim on here had a credible source.

I would guess that it wont happen ,as the majority of TLPG,Cwapper & ADAMS CLAIMS would disappear.

Yes the AFL are as clean as a whistle from pokie machines......................................FFS how stupid are some AFL fans...

so collingwood a club revenue of 75 million
carlton 57 million
Hawthorn 64 milion
Geelong 56 million
all these clubs can still raise 40 to 50 million plus with out even using pokes

and how are the NRL clubs going, many of the NRL clubs do not release financials, so it is hard to get an understanding on how they are going but no doubt, with pathetic, crowds, membership & sponsor numbers they all will be a similar basket case as the raiders
http://www.raidersclub.com.au/site/file ... 199982.pdf
revenue 26,065,929
sales revenue 8,062,476
gaming revenue 18,637,576, money pinched from its various gaming venues
so sorry who has a reliance on pokers,
so perhaps get off your high horse, spazza and do a big more research
