Small fry for us.

Only been locked out of the US and bits of Aust market.

What is our total debt?
Did we pay some of that off? Even a little bit?

dane's trolling again

In the financial statements it says the current Gaming Machine Entitlements expire in August 2022.
Does anyone know what that means ? Does it mean our machine licences finish then? Would that mean the licences have to be repurchased at that time? If so I imagine that would involve considerably more than the $1.5m they originally cost in 2010/12?

One could figure out that I sought the path of least resistance dane.

I suspect you have, so what's the verdict. Come on dane, you can do it.

Carlton hasn’t played in a preliminary final for about 20 years and is in debt. And has been trying to dig itself out of debt for years.

With that backdrop-why is AFL’s distribution of funds to Carlton so much smaller than other clubs?

St Kilda gets about 6 million more from the AFL than Carlton.
Sydney, despite having big crowds, Buddy, big membership, premierships - also gets paid more by the AFL.
Brisbane in 2018 got 6 million more than Carlton. Why?
1-2 million more some could understand (maybe) but 6 million!!!!

Sorry!
In 2018 Brisbane got a whopping 10 million more than Carlton.
Why?
Both clubs were struggling... yet only one had won 3 flags in a row in early 2000s though.

So Brisbane now shoots up the ladder with the AFL assistance and Carlton is left languishing yet again down the bottom of the ladder. With those funds maybe $ can be put into membership services or off-field development. It all preserves an inequality.

Sick system, sick socialist system of taking and giving to preferred clubs.

So whilst reading about Brisbane getting 10 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ million more than Carlton in their AFL dividend, I get sent this message by email from Cain Liddle:



"The Club has eliminated $3.4 million of historical debt in the last six months. The Club is now on track to completely eliminate the remaining $3 million of historical debt over the next 18 months – well ahead of our initial forecast when the plan was launched. This will see the Carlton Football Club debt free for the first time since 1996."


Oh I get it, Carlton has to scrib and save and beg members to get out of debt whilst Brisbane just gets a hand out from the AFL for ...well, being Brisbane!

Hooray for Brisbane! three cheers for Brisbane!

It has taken Carlton over 25 years to get out of debt (no thanks to the AFL) but it takes only one pen's wiggle for the AFL executives to hand over 10$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ million more to Brisbane.

Nice system.

Suns got $27million ...

So nice... and equitable.

That’s how socialism works. Mates’ rates for a “greater cause”. Suns are mates!

It is nice to know that the AFL values Gold Coast far more $15 million more than a club that has been there since 1864.

GWS and Gold Coast. The Demetriou gift that will never stop giving.
