Not really.

People are quick to post anti AFL threads on here to compare to A League.

I think it's relevant and also the silence on the matter speaks volumes

That's probably where those threads should go too.

To put the current deal into perspective

Last deal FFA signed - $40m over 4 years

New AFL deal - $415m a year over 7 years

Huge!!

Wow a big gap between current AFL and FFA deals pretty obvious .

What it's important is that that FFA negotiate significant increases for football in this country.

Most definitely - and that it flows back to grassroots.

Hopefully the increase can go towards sending National youth sides to tournaments overseas - as Government funding being pulled and no Natonal team sponsor seem to be taking its toll.

What was the TV revenue of Soccer Australia in 2004 ?

I would say mega bucks lower than $40m a year.

Same .

Same.

I agree funds need to flow through to all levels of the game :

1. Junior coaching.
2. Junior facilities.
3. Financial stabilising the HAL clubs.
4. Further expand and grow the FFA cup.
5. Focus on growing the second tier NPL competition.

great article by Roy Masters on the politics behind this. dollar amount had to be higher than the NRL / 9 deal after the NRL screwed Foxtel out of the State of Origin. Rupert Murdoch sticking it up the new NRL Commission.

hopefully this translates to football, but is unlikely.

End of Rupert has always been an AFL follower, and likes to put money where he is likely to get a best outcome. There would be a hint of "looking over the shoulder" at football/A-League but its still a long way off and clearly why the comparisons are made with the NRL still.

The dude is like 90, isnt it just the last couple of years where he put his money into AFL? I may be wrong though. Also wasnt he part of the NRL super league concept a long time ago?

Rupert is just interested at investing where he can make money, full stop.

End of the day, AFL has the bigger audience and supporters over nrl and aleague, so you would expect a bigger tv deal.

Interesting to see how the afl spends this extra money, putting into grassroots could allow them to catch "soccer" as the no1 participated sports in juniors.

Aleague in its current state will find it hard to compare with afl in regards to tv deals.
