Can we create another Hawthorn era?

I guess the point I'm making is the old line about the AFL tipping 27 million in to the Gold Coast isn't quite true because by their existence there is an amount generated for a ninth game as well as in other areas.

It might not be the 44 million the simple maths shows, it might only be 10 million or 15 or 20 or whatever but it does offset the money they receive.

It's not as simple an argument as it is made out to be.

Well when you get it figured consider whether the time has come for the AFL to cut its losses and invest in a community that actually does have an interest in the game.
