VIEW FROM HERE | Broadcast rights deal an opportunity for Tasmania The AFL made a record breaking announcement last week when advising a new agreement had been reached for the broadcasting rights for the next five years (2012 – 2016). The AFL made a record breaking announcement last week when advising a new agreement had been reached for the broadcasting rights for the next five years (2012 – 2016). The new agreement will deliver $1,253 billion to the game over this five year period, as a combination of cash ($1,118 billion) and contra support. The AFL’s Chief Executive, Andrew Demetriou, announced in the official media release that the AFL will continue with the task of working with the AFL clubs, AFLPA and other stakeholders to provide a distribution that fairly rewarded players, supported the long term health of all clubs in the competition, provided state leagues with funding to support volunteers and ensured supporters continued to enjoy affordable admission and membership prices. The relevance of the above comments is the reference to state leagues. So what does this potentially mean to our Tasmanian State League? At the moment AFL Tasmania provides a $50,000 annual development grant to each of the 10 TSL clubs via a license agreement arrangement. In return each club is required to work cooperatively with AFL Tasmania in developing a plan for Australian Rules Football in their development zone. AFL Tasmania will be seeking additional funding through the new broadcasting agreement to grow the current investment provided to the state league clubs. Our aim is to direct up to $1 million annually to our Tasmanian State League clubs, i.e. an average of $100,000 per club. It is AFL Tasmania’s view that if we do acquire additional funding our priority will be the support of our Tasmanian State League clubs. Our preference will be to invest our funding into two elements, those being club management and talent identification and player development. It will become the responsibility of AFL Tasmania’s senior management team in Scott Wade (Chief Executive), Trent Bartlett (Business Development Manager), Nick Probert (State Talent Manager) and Shaun Young (General Manager-TSL) to develop a strong business case to be presented to David Matthews (General Manager, National & International Development Manager, AFL). David Matthews, and the AFL executive management team, is very supportive of our Tasmanian State League competition; however, they will need to be convinced that our Tasmanian State League clubs have the commitment to work cooperatively with AFL Tasmania to deliver genuine growth and real quality in each of the AFL’s seven core game development objective areas: 1. Participation 2. Community Development 3. Community Engagement 4. Facilities 5. Talent & Second Tier 6. Fans 7. People & Culture The new broadcasting rights deal will enable Australian Rules Football too well and truly establish ourselves as the dominant football code, and arguably the dominant sporting code, in the nation.
