LFC (LOCAL FINANCIAL CRISIS): Entering its second season without a major sponsor, money is too tight to mention for the VFL brass. The absence of big sponsorship dollars was felt last year after TruEnergy pulled the plug on an eight-year association with the league.

According to AFL Victoria CEO Peter Schwab, the cost to administer the VFL was about $3 million. The competition itself generated $1.4 million, leaving a gap of $1.6 million that was covered by AFL grants and transfer fees. “The operating cost of the VFL in the past five years has increased in excess of $800,000,” Schwab said.

“This is a concern because a similar increase in the next five years will not be sustainable as revenue is likely to plateau or even decrease. The major problem for the clubs will be to increase revenues to cope with increased costs.” He said AFL Victoria would not be in a position to help clubs seeking financial help.
