AFL 2016: Wealthiest clubs in funding battle with AFL

[eelofwest]

The four wealthiest teams in the AFL are in a new battle with the competition over club funding after learning they will receive no additional money from the new $2.5 billion broadcast rights agreement.

Collingwood, Hawthorn, West Coast and Fremantle have all made individual presentations to league chief Gillon McLachlan to voice disappointment with the game's new investment model that they claim has over-corrected in the equalisation push.

As the AFL intensifies efforts to close the gap between rich and poor clubs, the game's wealthiest franchises have learned they will each receive an estimated $8.6 million next year, which in real terms means they will receive no lift from the richest sport media deal in Australian history. The poorer clubs, led by 2016 preliminary finalist Greater Western Sydney, are expected to receive more than $20 million at the bottom of a sliding scale that has been presented to the AFL Commission.

Now compare that with the NRL funding model of Grants of 100% of the cap and and extra %30 over the cap and an extra 1.5m ontop of that.

The Large NRL clubs already making millions will be Golaiths with the NRL's planned funding model.

The big clubs in the AFL will no longer be the big clubs with a funding model like that one.

Nothing for the AFL has been signed and the signs are not looking good for the big clubs in melbourne, forced to give all there money to Sydney and Brisbane clubs lol

Talk about ass raped.

When do you think the AFL's super league war will break out guys.... =D>

[eelofwest]

oh ffs come back when you have a clue.

The response of someone who knows hes got nothing to say.

Well done your post says a thousand words.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol,
If a club is successful off field due to good management etc then it shouldn't be punished to aid the lesser clubs who are managed poorly or are plastic franchises plonked in areas with little support

[eelofwest]

its the post of someone who doesnt have the time at the moment to respond to shit like this in the detail it deserves. Its a shitpost based on fuck all.

For a start, the big clubs are already the big clubs, hence the funding. They arent going to get any smaller because of this. In fact most of these bigger clubs have already been receiving the base grant for the last two years.

The rest is just negotiations, and in the end the AFL and the clubs will compromise as they always have. Because this isnt rugby league, and the AFL holds all the aces.

Money being given to Sydney and Brisbane and Gold Coast hardly rates as "all their money" either.

As i said, get a fucking clue.

Your post once again is basically just gibberish.

Thanks for sharing captain obvious, you added nothing to this thread yet worth reading.

Those large AFL clubs are not sharing in the nearly doubling of TV deal, what part of that don't you understand nitwit?

NRL clubs 4m+ over the cap of extra funding making them hugely profitable.

AFL's large clubs = no increase in funding and with the cap increases they will see there once good profit margins dwindle.

Mate got it yet?

Like i said when is your very own Super league war kicking off wookie..

you have NFI!

do we need to go in to details how much money an AFL vs NRLOL club makes through football related revenue.
the AFL minnows dwarf nearly every NRLOL clb

[AFLcrap1]

Lol & 10 of them failed to make a profit

Lol & 10 of them failed to make a profit

firstly spazza football clubs are on structured as not for profit organisations, profits dont mean a whole gread deal as they have no owner or share holders to keep happy.

theaverage AFL coub turns over nearly double to what the average NRLOL club does. un until you sit down and read and understand the figures you have NFI

the annual reports are for all to see

[AFLcrap1]

What a rant
You posted about how much an AFL club makes through non football to related revenue

Lol
Apparently not enough
Doesn't matter if they make 100 million if they spend 110 million
They still are running at a loss

Yet some clubs get far more off AFLOL house .

Lol

The words
fair
&
Equal
Seem to be foreign concepts in this sport .

the League owns all of the clubs! some are given extra money, due to stadium arrangement eg etihad, GWS & GCS recueve extra to allow time to establish them self and put business models in place!

the nrlol doesnt own all of its clubs, it still pays out extra money of different levels to its clubs, thats even after their leagues clubs have given them grants as well.

so what are you trying to get at! both codes governing bodies & the owners of the clubs do the exact same thing.

difference is the AFL clubs make shit loads more money than the NRLOL clubs


you have NFI in what you are trying to argue about like usual this thread will turn in to a mental mashing session.

[leagueiscrap]

the League owns all of the clubs!

Lol no it doesnt. Technically the league doesnt own any of them, but for all intents and purposes it has the majority vote on the boards of GWS, Sydney, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Port Adelaide. In real terms, it controls GWS and Gold Coast through its funding.

It owns no other clubs . Clubs are controlled by their own boards and owned by their members -in some Cases the AFL is THE only member that matters (see the Swans constitution), or the WAFC.

The league owns the license to the club, but each club has a board

[eelofwest]

So everyone likes to skip around the issue with there heads in the sand.

If this funding Model goes through 8.8m and no increase in funding to the top 5 teams in the AFL.

Assuming the cap goes up to 14m how much out of pocket will these big 5 clubs be from next year?

8.8m Funding and a cap rising from 10m to 14m.

That is an extra 4million out of pocket those 4 big clubs will have to find, and seeing as those big AFL clubs make around 3-4million in profit this is leaving them with a break even situation for the foreseeable future.

Who here thinks that Eddie and Co will accept this situation and stay quite and let it happen?

Not a fucking chance fumblers.

NRL's richest clubs making anywhere from 17m(Panthers) to 2m(Souths) will become even larger clubs with the extra 4m in funding from the NRL's proposed funding model.

Let to AFL Super league War start in Ernest.

[Fred]

I do not know too much about it but Eels does put forth a good point. Why should collingwood suffer because they are popular and well run. Sure, help out the lesser likes but not to the extent it adversely impacts your club to such an extent. A superleaugue war? Doubt it greatly. Eddie wont let any of that happen.

Hahah the nrlol clubs are worthless piles of shit. Its their leagues clubs that make make majority of the money.

Look in the annual reports. That 17 million is poker machine revenue football departmentrevenue is less than the AFL minnow clubs
