Your first paragraph is the point of my post, dopey.Are you being ignorant to the fact they have and along with other financially independent clubs, have built their own success. (St Kilda aren’t a financially independent club).
The fixturing is done through a plethora of reasonings, from the popularity of the club, the previous success of blockbuster clashes, how good the teams are going and the wealth comes into it later, which again for Andrews case, he is saying the afl built that, which is an awful opinion.
Seeing as most clubs do their own separate resource planning and financial advisory systems to better position themselves as a business and team in the afl.
It is a lot more likely that St Kilda haven’t been able to put a foot hold in their own financial growth, and their on-field performance doesn’t help this.
Again the only good point he had was the price for father sons, academies (next gen and northern academies). But to bunch that in with the rest was poor, and his way of communicating his point wasn’t great either.
They don't build their financial success. The league administration builds their financial success even if they're shithouse onfield for a quarter of a century.
