This theory comes up now and then and I would agree except my understanding is that the tours were paid for by sponsors, TV coverage and gate receipts, in which case there was no money wasted.

I haven't been through the AFL's books but I believe that is their rebuttal to claims of it being a jolly, and they normally did have very prominent sponsors specifically for the tours and good crowds so I would suspect they turn a profit. They pulled the plug this year and the implication was that it was due to sponsorship issues during the GFC.
