Net gaming revenue is what the machines take after winnings. The figures do not represent the profits made by clubs.
Victorian AFL clubs and their po-kie takes in 2013-14
CARL $17.5m (4 po-kie clubs)
COLL $12.7m (3)
ESS $11.9m (2)
GEEL $8m (2)
HAW $18.6m (2)
MEL $9.4m (2)
NM — Nil
RICH $4.1m (1)
STK $2.2m (1)
WB $4.3m (2)
TOTAL = 19 pokie clubs — $88.7m

This news story worries me.If we are to become a power club we need to match our rivals in income generation.Now the club may have taken steps to rectify this,however I am not aware of it
-
The revenue being generated has little relevance if we don't know the margin being generated on that turnover.
-
Personally I hope the profits are marginal at best. These are footy clubs not for profit organisations, why the hell do they do this. If we need the cash how bout we start selling hamburgers instead? MicDonalds makes a buck or two last I heard.

Unacceptable

But article says "Net Gaming Revenue" which to me means it is total revenue less costs incurred to earn the revenue = Net Revenue, margin on Gross Revenue is already allowed for

Poor form.

We really are a minnow in the profit area

Overall we had the third largest profit last year, and 8 consecutive profits in a row.

To clarify are you talking about being a minnow of profit on Pokie machine revenue or overall profits?

He doesn't know what he means. But he will take option c, whichever makes his post look less ridiculous.

Yeah but we aren't making any money off of pokies at all. Let's get some more

To be honest I would happy if we didn't make any revenue from Pokies.
:cheers

Yet we still didn't find the need to use that money and replace Leppa. :banghead :banghead

Footy clubs should not be making money off pokies imo - footy clubs shouldnt be contibuting to this blight on society by being in any way affiliated with them
-
Should bugger off the pokies and start selling ice.

Don't come onto this board quoting all your stinking facts. There's no place for them here.

Let them make all the profits in the world, the Gestapo will just up the equalisation.

The national socialist's were not socialist, but, ;)

This isnt the 'Richmond way' to raise money! This a Carlton & Collingwood way to make buckets of money! We may want (& need) the revenue but there are better ways to make money.
The AFL have finally allowed us to play a few games at the G on a Saturday arvo - lets take them up on the offer & show that we deserve this opportunity by turning up in our thousands! Tens of thousands even! 70-80-90 thousand every round would make a big statement. Fill the G with Black & Yellow & we will gain plenty!
Get sides like Carlton & Collingwood on the G on a sunny Saturday arvo in front of a full house of Tigers & make them pay dearly for everything they ever took from us!
Then we take aim at the Hawthorn's of this football world.
Do these things & we will gain far more than just some revenue ... some big scalps in front of some massive crowds will make our Pokies income look like small fry!

How can Hawthown possibly paint themselves as "the Family Club" when they're making more money than anyone from pokies? I don't know how comfortable I'd feel if we finally won a flag off the back of a bunch of pokie machines....

I'd be kind of like paying a prostitute to lose you're virginity. In the immidiate aftermath I'd be high-fiving everyone. After a few weeks, I think I'd be a little less enthusiastic about it. 3 months down the track I might be bowing my head in shame every time I recounted the story.

I'll take your word for it. :cheers
