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.

How many more years do they continue to throw money there way?GW$.
The biggest money pit in the AFL. We're all paying for the orange team.
There was no need for 2 teams in NSW. They don't give a toss about AFL.
Every time we buy a membership, every time we go to the footy, every time we buy a pie or a beer, every time we attend a final, the AFL says thank you very much and ships the profits up North. Every time.GW$.

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

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.
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.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.

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?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.

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.
Over half the clubs are now dependent on the AFL for survival
