Great news. The footy department will benefit greatly by this.

The money can be used for a number of things including debt reduction. I hope we spend the lot on the footy department.

We need to plan to spend most of it on the footy department because if we fall back then it will just impact other revenue streams.
A List Manager (already funded?), additional resources in the recruiting department and a specialist coach or two would be money well spent.

Spend some of the money ala Collingwood (employee someone to search for grey areas in the rules to exploit).
Last year it was shepparding the man on the mark, this year practically molest the backman trying to spoil in the goal square.

They stopped doing that? Every time I see that long haired toe rag O'Brien near a guy on a mark he's there waiting to pick him off. It shouldn't be happening.

No but other clubs have cottoned onto it.

Excellent news. I have to admit that over the last few years the afl have made a solid effort to look after clubs like the dogs. We may get no favors in the fixture etc, but this announcement at least attempts to further compensate the club for these inequalities.

Sounds very good for us and all clubs in general. Well done AFL .

Apparently the Big Boys are peeved at the distribution.
Do they want a fair dinkum even comp , or do they want a two tier lopsided one?
Are we going to have a pseudo even comp ? Do we want to go down the path of other major sports?

Not surprising the big clubs are complaining. My response would be when they start playing in Perth twice in 5 weeks on a consistent basis, travel to Geelong, give up ANZAC day for themselves and give clubs like the Dogs and Roos greater share of the prime time timeslots and do it for 20 years then maybe we'll share the compensation with them.

I remember it happening, but can someone remind me again why Marko is taking the toss? It wasn't indigenous rnd was it?

Wasn't it the multi-cultural round.

Wouldnt it make more sense to clear the debts, and then channell the money that was going into debt repayments (P & I) straight into Footy?
