Hostplus has sponsored the Richmond Tigers since 2005, paying $844,000 for the privilege in FY23.

.... $844,000 a year (under a long-running deal) to sponsor CEO David Elia’s beloved Richmond Tigers.

Interesting

Hostplus sponsorship isn't limited to the RFC

The are co-major sponsor of the Suns but that isn't mentioned in the article but scan of their Annual report shows in over $1.3mill a year

But then it says...

"It pays $1.9 million a year to the AFL (to which it is an “official partner”), and $844,000 a year (under a long-running deal) to sponsor CEO David Elia’s beloved Richmond Tigers. Its Rabbitohs sponsorship sets it back $418,000 a year, while its support for the North Queensland Cowboys, Sydney Kings basketball team, Melbourne City Football Club and Brisbane Bullets set it back $300,000, $372,900, $550,000 and $220,000 respective."

I don't know but those numbers from a few years back were not truly reflective of our overall sponsorship

A news outlet can't remember who used Club's annual reports to make a story. As all Clubs report differently ours appeared to be low when in fact it wasn't. And for other Clubs there numbers appeared to be astronomical when they weren't

What I can say is we are now near the top in total revenue

And a good chunk of that revenue sits in unprofitable gyms.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Will be asking about the gym business at next week's AGM

Even a well run club like ours needs to be accountable for how money is paid or received

Ask them why they are leaking costs like uber? Don’t see any HNWI’s
investors coming into this business

I will post about the answer around Align Leisure in the AGM thread

But in short the Aligned Leisure business is profitable
