Funding per goal

This makes me

Earlier last week the AFL Funding dollars were announced - the GWS Giants were the only team to receive over $100,000 per goal kicked in 2022.
Here is a ladder based on dollars spent per goal.

Interesting stuff Hammer, so given we are the best value entertainment in town, suprising that the AFL shaft us ..

GW$.

The biggest money pit in the AFL. We're all paying for the orange team.

That's an amazing table. Thank you Tiger Hammer.

Prima facie, it says the AFL Socialist prescription rewards neither popularity which comes from scoring and success nor prudent fiscal and effective football department management.

But, their Socialist prescription puts a lie to George Orwell's notion that " all pigs are equal but some are more equal than others". Otherwise, we'd lead the list and neither would we be subjected to the apparent AFL adverse bias towards the Tigers.

Whose snout is in the trough?

But more importantly, why?

Perhaps, the table might be enhanced should government and AFL one off grants be included?

I will leave it to you to revise should you wish.

How many more years do they continue to throw money there way?
They haven't missed a beat since they join the comp.
Finals, GF, Star footballers, but noone cares..
I think GC are better off, i cannot see how they survive if they sit in the bottom half of the ladder for the next 10 years. Every decent kid will walk out.
There was no need for 2 teams in NSW. They don't give a toss about AFL.

You’re not far wrong with that opinion in my view.

And I base that on being an NSW resident; one who of necessity watches, reads and more importantly, absorbs NSW news on a daily basis.

That’s not to say the game should not be promoted in NSW. But perhaps the the greater investment should be in junior promotion. The Folau initiative failed. The GWS initiative is floundering but will not be denied.

AFL ignorance reigns.

Every time we buy a membership, every time we go to the footy, every time we buy a pie or a beer, every time we attend a final, the AFL says thank you very much and ships the profits up North. Every time.

Remember all those finals against GWS? The ones attended by 95, 000 Tiger fans and 500 GWS fans?

They just wired the gate takings straight to GWS management to pay for their season.

Only one side kicked more goals than us

GC and GWS will neeeeevvveeer be able to pay their own way. Never ever. Even if they win flags.

It's what made the landslide Premiership in 2019 soo sweet. Unfortunately Gil has been punishing us for spanking his baby ever since.

The argument the AFL will put up ( with some truth to it) is that because we have the expansion teams there are 22 extra games every year (23 this year) and that pushes up TV rights revenue and their marketing revenue. Whether that is as much as the money they put into GWS and the Suns I have no idea but that argument carries some weight.
I was always of the view that if we were to expand the competition we should so it in traditional footy markets like Tasmania rather than in markets like southern Queensland and western Sydney where those states were already struggling to support one team. A Northern Territory team would be awesome as well but I am not sure they would have the population to support it, which has been the argument against Tassie as well.

 

[Baloo]

Looking at the table one can only assume the AFL will see how they can level the playing field by restricting the goals we score.

On the population argument, we‘re told it’s about “eyeballs” now ie the tv viewing audience and the broadcast rights so does not having the population matter?

We were told they put GWS in Western Sydney because there’s 2M people there (and the Gold Coast area because it has “reach “ to over 1m) but they get pretty average attendances. I’d hazard a guess the footy going public of Tassie would get very similar attendances to the Suns (ave 14k ish over the last 2 seasons) and the Giants (17k and 14k over the last 2 seasons)

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

If that was the case you *smile* off 4 teams and make a true H&A season

 

[ceehook2]

I like the bottom 3 in that table , to me it suggests both the admin and footy depts are doing well

we just have to keep doing what we are doing and when the stars align we will see silverware

 

[The Big Richo]

It's certainly an appropriate name.

Over half the clubs are now dependent on the AFL for survival and as result, do what they are told when they are told to do it by HQ. The rest don’t even get enough in distributions to cover the salary cap. On top of that, the recent restrictions to football department spending means the well off clubs cannot reinvest their financial success back into their core business of winning games of footy. At least not without significant penalty anyway.

If they’re is ever a breakaway league and we all wonder how it got started, look no further.

I think you'll find they are all in that boat.
