Speaking of the bullies, and as a member, I just saw this in the HS:

“The Western Bulldogs are on the way to being financially viable, and 2010 will see a key focus on the completion of the (Whitten Oval) redevelopment and debt-reduction strategies,” chief executive Campbell Rose said.
The result follows profits in 2008 ($600,000) and 2007 ($500,000).

I’m not sure, but I would think that this includes the AFL assistance package of some $1 mill per annum, but would exclude the extra $1 mill owed them in the revised stadium deal.
The mighty West is back in town!!
