Grand Final takings for the club you ask - I don't know exactly but if it is better than what can be gained from a prelim final then it is a HUGE windfall for the hosting club. And considerably better than any home game with gate takings. MC I reckon you could confirm that quite easily
As I said a few days ago - what clubs in APFL have the newest and best clubrooms? 3 of the 4 are the ONLY clubs to host grand finals for as long as I can remember.
Can other clubs do it better or as well - I say yes - HB did a great job on Saturday - if they had more opportunity to host finals maybe the catering issue would not have appeared - HB has the best football viewing facility in the league. I bet Mallala had problems in the early days hosting grand finals - ask Ron Tucker - he was probably still playing U17s way back then, Balak the same, back when loud mouth Guy had a squeaky voice I bet they had teething problems

- but now they have no excuses to get it even slightly wrong.
A comment up the page - "I have been playing GFs against Balak at Balak for years" - does that not tell you something????? Stop taking this crap and the BS about "we can beat them anywhere" - stand up for equity in the APFL.
There are still 4 1/2 clubs copping an annual shafting - more than enough to demand and vote for changes. The 1/2 being the token United offering.
And you're right its like flogging a dead horse - but time to change, time to put away the KY, time for an even playing field and time for every club to get the opportunity to make some serious cash.
