Interesting paragraphs at the end..... bloody great negotiator this bloke must be... Wasn't it somewhere around $1.1 Billion we paid to NOT build the East West Link!

No surprises that the AFLW is being questioned. Going to be hard enough to support one league let alone another that doesn't actually make money.

Several clubs fielding AFLW teams are seriously questioning whether they can afford to continue in the national women's competition given the dire financial circumstances at a time they could be forced to cut their second-tier teams and academies.

I liked the calm well reasoned answers that Peggy gave in her interview as compared to the hysterical rantings of McGuire.

Richmond president Peggy O'Neal says she understands if members want refunds, and urged any experiencing financial stress to get in touch with the club.

'Food on the table trumps watching the Tigers'

As AFL clubs face increased financial pressure due to the coronavirus shutdown, Richmond president Peggy O'Neal she understands if some fans are forced to abandon their memberships.

The way things are shaping up I can't for the life of me see any games playing this year.

Especially with states borders locked down.

Well, good luck with that. Some on telly and the media are suggesting a period of 12 months before we are out of the woods.

Doom and gloom perhaps, but these are supposed experts.

If that is correct then no footy this year at least, and god help us all financially!!

yay.

lock em all in a remote thunderdome for 3 months and show us some *smile* footy.

I actually don't care if they wear Ronald McDonald masks and play 5 minute halves

I just want some *smile* footy.

and what's is Peggy talking about?

I'd eat stale crumbs off the floor, if it meant I could watch the tigers play.

Good luck with that AFL

Good luck with that AFL

Yeah no chance. It’s gonna be August at best.

 

[Quickdraw]

I think we'll see a staged withdrawal of the restrictions.

Early June could be a possibility.

At least that's what I'm hoping for.

I contacted the club today asking for a refund on my membership due to hardship.
I was told that my payments would be suspended but the club are not refunding at the moment.
