The loss of the Royal Oak was only from July 1st I think so not even the whole year.
Also we are paying $800k or so under the salary cap so that's almost another million we're not spending
Plus we don't have Wallace's massive salary
What are we spending on?
, ummm, can you do the sums on losing 5000 members, last year we had 47,000
..may have some im[act on revenue streams
At an average of $100 per member, its half a mil, but we should be banking an extra million from the extra MCG bonuses last year alone, plus another sum around the same this year
The salaries of Richo, Brown, Johnson, Brown & Coughlan are gone but I'm sure we're front loading contracts to make some of that back up
I understand we're spending more on the football department, but I can't really see where. We still have the same fitness guys, we only have 4 assistant coaches. I know we hired a specialist weights coach this year but that's hardly a massive amount of money
