Talking Footy

The AFL is set to double its profit and hit a record mark in revenue this year, despite a turbulent season marred by several off-field controversies.

AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou told Financial Review Sunday the league is set to exceed its budgeted forecast of $12 million net surplus and record revenue of about $440 million in 2013.

The league’s surplus for 2012 was $6.7 million from revenue of $425 million.

Demetriou said the league was able to find about $10 million in cost savings in the year to October 31 as well as additional revenue from an increase in crowds and commercial income, including its digital AFL Media unit.

Undoubtedly the AFL has had a great year and after a long period of investment it's moving into a period of consolidation and growth again.

dave says the nrl has $40 million. Well I think they'll need it to fix a lot of holes.

Growth in membership, ratings, attendance and revenue.

At least the NRL can claim memberships, not that it helped their plummeting attendances :_<>

Go on, Dave. Explain it! I could do with a good laugh at your expense again!

Biggest crowds, membership, ratings .... All increased ... No wonder revenue is up. Also expanding into new markets.

Undoubtedly the AFL has had a good year especially when compared with last year.
All the KPIs are up - attendance, membership, sponsorship, ratings and merchandise.
Capital expenditure is way down which previously dragged down the bottom line - BISP, Skoda, Metricon and numerous smaller ovals around Sydney are now complete.
The number of AFL clubs struggling is at an all time low and next year we can expect to see major improvements at Melbourne and GWS. We also can expect to see major improvements and adjustments to the equalisation mechanism so clubs denied natural justice by exclusion from blockbuster fixturing receive adequate compensation.

Compare that to the nrl. Well I'm not because there is so much fudging and spin going on.
All we need to know is that one, (possibly two at the very outside) nrl clubs are solvent.

AFL attendance is up on last year and the conditions are comparable for the first time in 3 years. NRL attendance is down.

You lose again, Dave. It was over 50,000 average in 2010 and 2011. It dropped below in 2012, but in 2013 it came back again.
