AFL Fixture 2023

[Baggers]

If the faithful pensioners keep turning up to play the pokies we heavily rely on for revenue that should be the case.
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.

Well said, EB1.

I also hope we explore other revenue streams. Gambling is rapidly becoming a social pariah and is already a mental health leech/poison.
