remain in the gang of four clubs - as they have been since 2020 - that gain no additional funding. This is despite a lean period on the field and long-term rebuild with a very young list, and the prospect of losing their millions from a second base in Tasmania if/when a Tassie team gains entry to the AFL . The Hawks have an outstanding balance sheet, however, having sold their pokies assets for more than $40 million, with freeholds at Waverley and their next home at Dingley.
All told, nine clubs, or half of the competition, have been granted comparatively little extra funding this year and are viewed as being financially robust. They are, unsurprisingly, the six strongest Victorian clubs plus the two Perth clubs and the Adelaide Crows., according to the position of the clubs, the AFL has been careful to not slash the funding of clubs with significant debt, notably the Lions and Saints.
The AFL has not yet finalised the salary cap amount for 2023, as negotiations continue with the players’ union , which is why the base funding amount is estimated in a range between $10.5 million and $11 million. The clubs have been told to budget for a salary cap increase of 5 per cent. This will be funded in the base amount for all clubs.
