That’s was during the season not after the season as you quoted .Hey mate - I got the kids to do a bit of digging for you last night
They found a video on The Local Footy Show facebook page from 2018 when they visited Waaia to interview Shane Railton and in the piece he stated "its been well publicised that our clubs have gained $80,000" .........(from fees with not being affiliateddata base, insurance etc) ......and "our clubs will receive record profits back "
There was also reference/picture of an article written by Aaron Langmaid in which this figure is also quoted - the kids tried to find the article for you titled in the video "Bush Leagues opts to Keep Costs Down" but couldn't find it, but did find they assumed the same article on the Herald Sun site from March 6 2018 titled "Picola District Football and Netball League cut ties with AFL Victoria as both included the same picture of Waaia lads.
Whilst $80k was the quoted gain from not being affiliated .
What was the operating profit figure you claim was publicised at the end of the season ?
