“Carlton seem like big winners both on field and off, with the Blues handed plenty of financially beneficial prime time matches. The Blues feature heavily on Thursday and Friday matches and play GWS, St Kilda, West Coast, Collingwood, Melbourne and Gold Coast twice.”
Our draw should give us a decent leg up and top four should be within reach. Taking advantage of the draw by winning the games we shouldn’t lose and holding on in the close games should mean that we go deep in the finals.
If the faithful turn up like they did last season, we’ll have another very profitable year.
20 mill in pokies revenue which was up around 1.4 million dollars, reckon we need to start reducing that dependence and find some other ways to make a dollar given we have more members and should have other streams of income.
Five clubs have 20 year licences for their pokies including us, another five have sold/exited some or all of their pokies......think Geelong are now Pokies free, maybe that karma came back to reward them?
Lot of mixed messages with gambling in the AFL with Sportsbet sponsorships but Lovethegame support to send the right messages to children, all very confusing but I reckon we could make more effort to ditch the pokies and find some other revenue streams.
