Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

[Scorpus]

Melbourne were getting sub 20k crowds by the end of the season. Pathetic for a club that only recently won a flag.

It's unfortunate Melbourne are tied to the MCC, otherwise they should be banished to Marvel and Carlton promoted to the MCG in their place

The AFL trying to claim GWS has 37k members

I’d like to see a membership table with just the 11 home game members.

So Richmond have nearly 100k+ members and yet have 19k turnup against GWS.

Now I do understand those membership numbers for each side inc AFLW.

 

[fuic08]

Richmond's attendance also dropped significantly.

Richmond are classic bandwagoners.

Richmond are classic bandwagoners.

Think we need to play them at the G and belt the crap out of them. Sort of exercise the demons of 2017 GF, not quite the same but at least we feel better.

And I reckon we will play them at the G next year. The AFL would want them to play a non-Vic side who draws a crowd and Richmond would have a chance of beating.

 

[GreyCrow]

I suspect the AFL has loosened the criteria so they can claim rising and record memberships every year

KPI bonuses

Their games are so poorly attended despite years of finals appearances that I'm sure a 3-game membership is $30 or something like that. It wouldn't be too hard to sell 20,000 of those.

KPI bonuses

I'm sure those KPI results also get revised year after year to make this year's results look better than last (a classic technique for public companies).

The only membership tally that is even is equivalent games purchased ie an 11 game membership counts as 11, a 0 game pet membership counts as 0

Income from membership sales prob an even better measure

Are you heading down to Bourke street to soak a little of that Melbourne culture today Ol’ mate ?
Couple of innocent buskers bashed by a mob in Keffirs and 25000 back protesting today for the extreme cultural experience.
Your house prices are collapsing, are to be taxed like nothing seen before, young people and old are abandoning the anarchistic state.

Time to build the wall @ Bordertown.

Great coffee though.....

Yes Weagles have people paying to be on their waitlist, were leaders in revenue by miles last time I looked (though was a few years ago so might be different now they've fallen off).

 

[Tex Danger]

Easy to trace. Maybe not so easy to enforce.

For example, the real estate profits aren't realised until the player sells the property (or properties), which may not happen until years after they retire. I guess the AFL could call for independent property valuations, and try to include any difference between that value and the "mates rates" price paid, but I don't see the AFL going down that path.

I don’t see ALFPA giving enough access to players personal finances and while it would help salary cap cheating i would say their in their right to set boundaries

Just checking the retirements/delistings of other clubs and wondering how many teams that finished above Adelaide will have more list turnover than us.

You have to improve somehow

What a bunch of stoops those clubs are - we are stacked. STACKED!

... and therein lies the inability of the AFL to properly enforce the salary cap, to make it fair for all teams.

Dimma putting a broom through Gold Coast. 7 delistings.

Their expanded list concessions are coming to an end, so they are being forced to cull more players than other clubs this year.

This primarily affects their rookie list, which is going down from 7 (or 9?) to just 4 (the same as the other clubs). Given that they want to upgrade some of these rookies, they're being forced to cull extra players off their senior list to make way for the rookie promotions.

This does appear an over the top deal. I think uko is being squeezed out. Luko should just stay put and take the money.
