We're one of the poor clubs according to the Adelaide media
« on: August 07, 2013, 04:09:24 AM »
This working party will reflect the growing divide on the AFL money ladder with representatives from the big membership clubs of Collingwood, West Coast and Hawthorn and the more financially challenged Port, Richmond and Western Bulldogs.

Sounds good to me. How much of Hawthorn's money will they give us after we reamed them?  :lol

Membership numbers are great, membership revenue was way down last year compared to the financially strong clubs. No idea about this year though

Yep we're skint.

I think Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn and the rest of those rich clubs should be giving us a percentage of their profits.

If Benny has managed to convince the AFL of our poor financial status, he's an even better CEO than I thought he was. Granted we've had a few issues but I think "had" is the operative word in that sentence.

Keep up the good work Benny.  :thumbsup

Lulz... Now I know why the British Government and our Federal Government chose South Australia for the British Nuclear testing program in the 50's & 60's. If radioactive fallout spread beyond the projected boundaries, nobody would be the wiser.

we are a poor club, we need help, I just wanna thank port adelaide for their generous donation of Chad Wingard to the Tigers and I want to thank Adelaide for their donation of Patrick Dangerfield to our poor club. Such generous clubs like Port and Adelaide are wonderful clubs. As a sign of our thanks we have offered them framed signed prints of our greats, Peter Czerkaski, Andy Goodwin and Michael Laffy  :gotigers Oh yeah I forgot we can also give them signed footy cards featuring Alastair Scott and Justin Plapp  ;D
