Yet, it's the NRL who are desperately trying to shore up the next deal.

Tell me, Which league is better placed if the next deals are 15% less? And why?

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan is exploring a two-year extension of the broadcast rights agreement which would take its decades-long relationship with the Seven Network until the end of 2024.

The Age understands McLachlan has been holding talks with the league's long-time free-to-air broadcaster in a bid to create longer-term certainty amid a rapidly changing media climate.

The ARL Commission is weighing up whether to go early on its next broadcasting deal, a move that would allow rugby league to get the jump on the AFL but which could also have massive ramifications for the game’s existing clubs.

Club chairs and chief executives will meet the ARL Commission and the NRL tomorrow to discuss a range of issues, among them player behaviour, integrity and, significantly, the broadcasting future.

It is understood a discussion paper has been circulated to the clubs raising the prospect of opening talks over the next broadcasting deal as early as next year. The existing arrangement runs until the end of 2022.

The Australian understands that one of the reasons for going early is to strike before the AFL gets its hands on a large chunk of the broadcasting dollar. That game’s deal also runs until the end of 2022 and there is a fear a changing landscape could mean a shrinking market for sports rights.

Those concerns were heightened recently when Foxtel issued a statement to the ASX flagging cuts to non-marquee sporting events.

At the same time, NRL ratings have been strong on pay and commercial television, leaving the league in a powerful position should it decide to head to ­market early.

The ARL Commission is in the second year of a landmark $1.8 billion deal with Fox Sports and the Nine Network. That deal was the biggest in the code’s history and seemingly allowed the commission to consolidate the future of its clubs by providing them with more money than ever before.

Struggling to find money for there grass roots

No they arent. They just arent giving them what they want.

Asking players to take pay cuts

Port Adelaide only. And its not a cut, its a deferment, get it fucking right.

Channel 7 sacking the director responsible for poor program choices.

That isnt linked to the AFL in any documentation or reports. The deal was made years ago ffs

WOW!

usual bullshit hyperbole.

Meanwhile Channel 9 announces another big profit, of the back of its Rugby League coverage.

Documentation doesnt say that either - in fact Rugby League and the NRL dont even rate a mention. It does specifically say that the FTA market was down, but offset by market share increases.

One aspect of the next broadcast rights that has not been discussed is that there is a new player in town.
CBS May, and this is a May, have the opinion that to get 10 back on track a big buy in Australian sport could be very attractive and with 10 all access they have the ability to stream live sport.
They have capacity to buy and broadcast they “whole” package.
