We are a welfare club according to Jeff Kennett

I think the Hawks of today are a good example of how strong the Tigers could be in 5-7 years with some prudent financial management, on field success and a slightly more creative approach to revenue/sponsorship raising.

it should be our goal but we are a long way right at the minute

How great it will be when we have $5-8 million+ of cash reserves

[Dont think that's right Fish - I dont' think they get anything for stadia deals now

You'd hope not. They were getting it when they first went to Tassie for the bucks.

True but that stopped when they were guaranteed all the remaining home games would be at the MCG

We only got $400k from the special distribution last year and that was to make up for a poorer stadia deal IIRC.


Clubs that will receive ASDs this year are the Bulldogs ($1.7m), the Kangaroos ($1.4m), Melbourne ($1m), Carlton ($600,000), and Richmond ($400,000).

Port Adelaide will receive $250,000 but is seeking more and is under an AFL review, while the Sydney Swans will receive $779,000 as a cost of living allowance for players. The cost of living allowance will be paid outside the salary cap.

Caro reminding everyone we have never gone to the AFL for special assistance.

It sounds so simple to talk about debt demolition for every club, but it is a crazy idea given that Melbourne supporters, who may have given up significant amounts of their own future funds to help save their club, might well question the fairness of such timing. As might St Kilda and Richmond - clubs without massive sums of money yet who have never gone to the AFL for special assistance. And that's not to mention the wealthy clubs who weren't so wealthy 10 or 15 years ago but have worked hard to achieve some success off the field.

LOL

Imagine that getting criticised by a club that gets thousands of members from signing up pets and animals who reside at the zoo and another 8000 or so that live in Tassie lol.

isn't it the same thing?

Re: Hawthorn: it helped the bottom line when their former president would plough in up to a $1m a year to make their annual reports show consecutive profits  .

IIRC the $400k we receive from the AFL is to make up for the discrepancies in the fixture and stadia deals. It isn't "assistance" to prop the club up. The only "assistance" from the AFL I can remember was/is a non-monetary one of going guarantor for us so the bank would loan us the $4m in the early 00s that we are now trying to eliminate ourselves via the Fighting Tiger Fund. Even back in the SOS days we didn't run to the VFL/AFL as we raised $800k ourselves and then used the $200k all clubs received from Adelaide's licence fee to save ourselves.
