We are 6th of the Melbourne clubs with Melbourne on our tail.
A huge watch out for the club.

When did we lose almost $4m in 2014?  .

It also puts out those total P/L figures in the article by $8m.

It's an issue because it restricts our ability to invest in the football team and also impacts on our ability to invest in developing new revenue streams.

We may be 6th for revenue but at least we are =1st for debt.

When did we lose almost $4m in 2014?  .

We didn't

Clear typo 

2014 Net Profit was $1.329
2013 = $3.317

A typo by them that wasn't even in the same galaxy .

WP, does our full annual report have separate figures for membership, gate receipt and merchandise revenues? We could then make a direct comparison with other clubs in those areas.

Unfortunately, no.

Legally they don't have to so they dont, they present the reports to minimum reporting standard

I think they should because it would be interesting to compare but as I said  they dont have to so they don't

And just on our revenues, they need to pull their collective digit out and find a new naming rights sponsor for Punt Road. Not having one would leave a significant drop in revenues if they can't / don't

Any guess what category they would come under? Say the AFL distribution and gate receipts would be included in the "Football" revenue while membership and merchandise under sponsorship/marketing?

And just on our revenues, they need to pull their collective digit out and find a new naming rights sponsor for Punt Road. Not having one would leave a significant drop in revenues if they can't / don't

You would hope they'll have one before the two open training sessions that are acting as family days this year.

According to RFCO:

Thanks for the message. There hasn't been any movement on the naming rights partner for Punt Road, but those in charge are working hard on getting something across the line. When we are successful, we'll certainly let everyone know.

Cheers.

I've worked out what the Age did wrong. They've given the Dogs our 2014 profit figure, the Dogs figure to the Saints, and the Saints $3.9m loss to us.
