Big Bickies Made From the 2016 Western Bulldogs Players
I can't find the Grand Final Prize Money for this year, but in 2014 the winner's got $1,200,000 and runner up $660,000. I think it's a fair bit more. But it's a guide.
Of course the focus is the flag, but this kind of cash can build scoreboards, hire extra coaches or specialists or extra spending in the footy department, VFL team & women's team. Or all of the above if we win the GF. These players have just given our club a massive financial leg up.
Factor in extra memberships, and the impact for our club to do the things we want to do off field is now so much closer because of wonderful players and coaches. This huge amount of cash wouldn't have been factored into our forecasts, so it's a wonderful off field byproduct for our club.
