How the hell has Sanders not been banned from these forums.
He is the sourest troll in every single thread. It staggers me to think that such sad people exist.
If half of what he said was factual it would be ok, but its not... its sour and ill-informed.
Sanders: "I dont understand esports and how quickly its growing so I'll shit on it and pretend I know what the financials and future of the industry are so that I sound intellectual"
The world has passed you by, but you're clinging on to stay relevant.
The sport has 300 million fans. That is about 13 times the population of Australia.

So what is the plan for getting some of those 300m to contribute money to the AFC?
Nobody is saying esports doesn't have big dollars in it. It doesn't mean Legacy will bring dollars to the club.

Well that would be something you'd have to talk to the people concerned about, but its not like Sanders has information on this either.
Being part of a fast growing sector is a good thing, especially if you've got smart people at the helm.
It's not going to take giant dollars away from the club, but has potential to bring in money.
And not from an immoral source like pokies.

At least we didn't invest in Bitcoin.
Major events are in person and not over the internet, but yes.

A bigger deal out west.
That as a selling point is as silly as "china has 4 billion people, we only need 0.0001% to make some serious dosh". Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Legacy/Esports venture per se if it isn't costing us much because I definitely see E-sports trending upwards in Australia with the next generation (I would be comfortable in stating that within 2 generations I expect it to be the biggest sport in the world with daylight second). However what's the potential for Oceanian league to really attract a big amount of money? I don't feel like it's much just because the severe lack of population in the region and that other areas will just have a stranglehold on the competitive scene.
Mind you, I suppose a niche sport like AFL makes a huge amount of money which could make those worries rather pointless.
If eSports is the biggest sport in the world then they're making more money than AFL players regardless of them being Oceania based.

Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, and I don't see A-league players getting paid even close to what AFL players get.
Similar to soccer, I expect it to be the biggest sport in the world, but have the vast majority of it's money making potential confined to US/Asia (whereas soccer is just confined to Europe).

But that selling point is actually quite true. The only thing about China is its a very different market to other places due to their culture. I have a few friends who do a lot of business in China with branding and stuff. I wont go into too much detail but it takes a certain angle to get picked up in China. The trouble is companies assume that they can just get business doing things the same way over there and it doesnt work. But ask Swisse or someone like that how getting a small portion of China market has assisted their business. Chinese 'daigou' companies in Australia which essentially act as a bridge from Australian companies to Chinese buyers is a hugely growing industry.
I agree with what you're saying about the growth of the 'sport' (I struggle to call it that) and there is definitely no guarantees, but it seems like a lot of the naysayers don't come from an angle of "well its an unknown entity for this and that reason", they come from the angle of not actually having a clue what this is and assuming its a dumb investment because they specifically don't know what it is or what it entails or arent a participant.
I would say to an extent the Oceania competition will associate with Asian competitions, akin to say soccer.
Lets just say I think its a lot safer investment than the investment in the Adelaide Bite, which nobody seems to comment on?

Different kettle of fish.
Soccer is competing with other football codes in Australia who were already more established and popular, essentially.
There is no 'competition' for Esports. There might be different games that are played, but they'll be under the same umbrella.
I guess like being a fan of athletics and having multiple events under the one 'sport'
We dont expect ESports to be the saviour of our club like Port expect China to be for them.
Nor does our involvement stroke the ego of our Chairman.....
It is a bit of a speculative punt that cost relatively minimal resources.

Generally, it a team against a team with large crowds of people watching the event live, in some case stadiums like Marvell stadium. with several large screens, Most views are on the various media platforms.
With Twitch, Utube Twitter just a few platforms, Media P{latforms also depend on the country as well.
Legacy has 6 teams in different events, LOL and DOTA currently the most popular. only 1 is a single player comp smash.
The Games in time will most likely change in time and Player turn over is huge.
Edit, you can find shortcuts to games from there home page at the bottom just look at the twitch, utube twitter icons.

Donald Trump has a high IQ.
Just like him, getting it from brain to page seems to be the problem for you.

Footy dept spending is capped. If we don't spend 99% of that our management should be sacked.
Having an argument that not all of the spending is on the AFL team presumably allows us to have more resources than, say St Kilda who have nothing else to wash off that budget line item.
Personally i reckon it's more about justifying pay increases for management roles.

So you have access to the 2018 financial records.
One would think at this time of year you would have waited until they were released to everyone.

Spending on facilities and other things that could assist the organisation and 22 on the park each weekend are not capped though.
There is plenty more to club success than football department spending.
...fake news
