So some wide ranging thoughts and understandings on who actually funds junior development in the different states and Territories.
So where does the money come from?
It is not the role of clubs to fund junior development. Many clubs simply would not have the cash to run the club and also fund junior state development.
So how does it work?
In the NT AFLNT is the body responsible. They get funding from the AFL, sponsors and the NT Government.
We don't have a club but the Suns are aligned with the NT and come up and partake in xlinics when in town. As do other visiting AFL clubs.
The distinction that causes some confusion IMO is who funds junior develipment versus what organisation is subcontracted by the AFL to run the programs.
