Rumour 2 Melbourne Clubs in Dire Straits

[Yoko and me]

Agree, also Private Investigations have revealed that Sultans of Swing company board members, Romeo and Juliet, have said they won't divert cash from their Telegraph Road or Tunnel of Love projects and risk Money for Nothing, just so some clubs can go Twisting by the Pool at the end of 2020.
Furthermore, Romeo said there will be no Love over Gold sentiment with their investment and sadly some clubs may still have to face the Walk of Life...

Brisbane just called gold coast and said something like 'you and me babe, how about it?'

I didnt ask those purile questions bloke so spare me of the bluster, I was underlining the case that you ignorantly questioned how we have funded the comp like no other , you get that with record crowds at HA and finals and record afl endorsed Merch sales year on year , that’s what kicks $ into the AFL can , not piss and wind . though right now , perhaps we could see if it works

Ok Boomer.

You can keep funding the competition if you like.

We'll keep lining our pockets with cash based on the best stadium deal in the league.

36 million in gate takings/memberships last year and 6 million in merch and 8 million in profits

Compare that to the paltry combined gates/membership/merch total of 30 million from Richmond

Jog on now, ninethy

 

[Sterge]

You're both embarrassing

7 years is a very specific timeframe, mate.

There's only 1 club that has played finals last 5 years and Richmond isn't one of them.

There's only 1 club with over 100 million in assets and Richmond isn't one of them.

There' s one club with 4 flags and 24 finals appearances in the AFL and Richmond isn't one of them.

Come on mate, again. There's only one club that's won two out of the last three premierships and West Coast isn't one of them.

does anyone else cringe when an eagles fan thinks it's a feat that a perth superfranchise actually won flags?

Should also put in how much money each club generates from Pokies.

Hate those damn things.

Hate those damn things.

Putting this straight in, that Club at the top of all those lists is in Western Australia, where only the Casino has Pokies.

So it has a big fat 0 from Pokies.

no point cutting a team with no assets. just sell off richmond and use the $20 mill to save the others. a 17 team comp is better than a 5 team comp. And we'll have a Richmond theme round every year in memory.

We could have a one minute silence to celebrate all of st.kildas premierships

 

[PT Bar None]

Kudos to West Coast for shifting that much merch! Significant difference in ratios in that profit center to the others

 

[Minidisc MD]

Despite what norths supporter will tell you they are not a big club and have had Mazda as a major sponsor since 1999.

Maybe if mission sponsored a decent club they wouldn't be the brand you only buy if old el paso is sold out.

what... what?

I laugh - same owners - same economy and the dockers are in trouble (off the field)

 

[manicmagpie]

You might wanna turn the pages of the last 7y buddy , only 2 clubs have won more games than us and WC isnt one of em,,,nice try though , there’s only 1 club that pulls 95k plus to an MCG final every time and it isn’t Collingwood, nice try with a lame attempt of collaboration, who’s kidding who

Excluding Grand Finals, there's only been 1 Richmond final to top 95k at the G since 1973. Highest - 95,028. Not sure that quite counts as every time.

 

[Greenery]

Basically current financial position is related to recent performance. Dockers have been terrible since their GF loss so their position is bad (and have for most of their time) . The Eagles have had on field success, have for a long time, as have Collingwood and recently Richmond.

Yes I suppose that Melbourne could be like Perth and have two clubs ... One could be the Victorian Penguins (Cause everybody likes those cute little Fairy Penguins) and the other could be Collingwood. This way the rest of Victoria who don't like Collingwood (but who love those cute little penguins) can continue to hate its old VFL team in the same way as the dynamic exists in WA between the WCE and Freo (a former WAFL team), and as it does in SA between the Crows and their nemesis and a former SANFL team Port Adelaide. This way Victoria could boast a super club with 400,000+ members and its second tier player Collingwood. The new super club (The Penguins) could boast a fearsome drug abuse record and bugger all Premierships relative to its wealth (like the WCE) and perhaps the MCG (100,000 seats as opposed to the 60,000 seat Optus Stadium) as its home ground. I'm on board Then the Vics could all sit behind their keyboards and "CROW" (sorry South Aussies I couldn't resist the pun) too

Was that part of the Communique' from Lady Writer, also known as the Angel of Mercy, who also asked; Where Do You Think Your Going?....

When did people start taking as much pride in their clubs wealth as anything on-field?

Probably since theirs nothing on field. Still gotta support your team ay

You mean both clubs from WA ?.

Fremantle are at the top of the tables for revenue/operating profit/profit?

My point was that West Coast are topping those numbers without pokies.

Yes I think only 5-6 clubs now pull in revenue from pokies and Hawthorn/Carlton are at the top of the list.

Ahhhh reigning premiers. It’s good being king
