lunchesm, merchandise etc that the new CEO put a stop to ....... .

not a lot of $'s but a few k every year, taking over the bar and some of the food. Apparently the bar take went from 10K to near 100K.

How did the bar takings rise that much Grump?

We are not paying for someone else to run the bar , take the profit and leave us with the add ons that we incured having the bar, all pay and not much return.

Just to add a semblance of balance to others rhetoric, how much do you think we saved last year but not having to buy the number of players we have on the past, pay their match fees, their residential costs etc etc and yes we got the weagles players as freebies, not denying that!

The club has made a conscious effort to turn the finances around by having someone in charge that is a bit more canny and adept at business. Add to the situation where we get less and rightly so, than the rest of the clubs.

I am not justifying the alignment in any way but the fact that the profit is Subiesque is through good management and the aignment and not from a gift from WAFC!

Notice how you avoided the subject of paying coaches???????

sadly Grump it is to my annoyance I feel I have to respond to such blatant short sightedness regarding EP new found financial canniness and business acumen......EP management plan is simple......lets sit back on our arse and let the WCE gravy train take us anywhere it wants....ON and OFF the playing field......

I say good on to EP for taking the easy business option, financially their decision is no different to some fat rich kid sitting on their arse revelling in their old mans spoils......too farking hard to go out and do it yourself when the old man has already paved the path to riches for you.......christ if my old man was a Murdoch, Packer or Hancock I'd be doing my best to do as least as possible

Dean Turner has done wonders as perhaps the only professional calibre CEO in the WAFL. The club progressing nicely for an exciting future once the alignment ends. Hope I live long enough to see the glory days return.

he's a hell of a lot better than the numpty we have.

If Dean Turner is so good why is he a wafl club ceo ? Would be a tough job with the Eagles holding your hand along the way.
I'll keep an eye out for his next move in the corporate world

It is not short sightedness but a comment abt things I know or have first hand knowledge of, rather leave the hyperbole and angst to those who know more than I do about what happens at the club!

MO I suspect and I would not normally put a suspicion on here (see previous posts0 but I think he is doing what have, retired from where he was and has taken the role as a retirement process, I found sitting at home doing the reirement stff extremely boring and brain numbing.

That's why the Perth supporters are passionate, they're living in hope !!!!!!!!

What a frigging joke, proves how much money that West Coast are spending and still the assistance to Peel continues.
If only somehow the seven clubs could stand alone, unfortunately that is but a dream.

However, in a bad year for the Club, this makes the $112k profit of of the Perth Football Club even more credible.

Similar turnover to EP by the sound of it yet, the Perth Football Club pays for it's own players and coaching staff.

Unfortunately not as many coaches and they are not getting paid anywhere near as much. Just have a look at our assistants. Most of them probably don't get paid.

Any EP supporter who does not see this as a farce is blind or just bloody stupid.

Friggin bloody joke.

Well done PFC !!!!

No wonder PFC is amongst the most viable Clubs financially.

absolutely spot on DF. i guess that's the difference between someone who is a passionate supporter of a traditional WAFL club who struggles year in year out to balance the books and try to get some success on the field and the supporter of a club who would rather take the easy way out by prostituting themselves to an AFL club. I know which team I'd rather support...gives me the mighty Dees any day over the turn coat filth.
