By E.O.B on Saturday night, the club had sold $3m in merchandise. $1m in online sales alone!
Players also were yesterday given half the prize money for winning the G.F.. That's around $35k each.
We're back baby!!
 
On another note, we should be given some prime time games on TV too.
 
The club should use PRO as a live GF site every year. Could be a good money earner, as fans will be keen to be close to the action so they can wander over to the G after the game.

I agree but when I suggested using PRO to sell food a while back it was pointed out, in the press I think, that the AFL holds a strong hand in preventing any competition in the area to protect the very expensive rights of the vendors at the G.

Great idea
 
Logistically and financially it makes sense, but not culturally. I wouldn't want to watch the GF on a screen at Windy Hill if we were playing. Maybe its just me.
 
they have done it a few times. Watched the GF with a Lions friend when they won their 3 in a row in the early 2000's at Punt Road. From here they can make it a GF live site. Winning fans that then miss out can flock to the G post game as they did this year and enjoy the players back on stage 90min after the win. I was a fantastic atmosphere around 7:40 when the players came out post the killers concert.

Half of $1mil is 500k divided by 22 is $22k each. Throw in bonuses for coaches et al they be lucky to get 20k each

Players told me they all got $35k each last night. Who am I to argue?
