What was the Bentleigh Club valued at???

Whatever value is attributed to the Bentleigh Club in the books (most likely the historic value at acquisition which would be relatively low), you can be pretty sure that on today's market it's worth a poultice and in reality would far exceed our debt.

It was a good buy..Bentleigh has skyrocketed over the last 5 years.

From memory it was valued at around $8mill when we acquired it and it had a debt of around $4mill. The value remains on the books as what it was when it was bought.

By the end of next year when the pokies debt should be cleared the future of the Bentleigh Club is probably going to be the next big project for PJ to finalise to set up the future of the Club.

But for this we have to thank the likes of Joe Gutnick and Cameron Schwab, two largely maligned figures in some circles, for their foresight and great understanding of the commercial benefits of the Bentleigh Club venture.

We probably don't want a re-valuation on the Bentleigh club....yet. 

While we are the beneficiary of equalisation money from the AFL, it doesn't look good to be making a sizable profit, even though it is a paper one.

Some intelligent people here on 'Land.

It wouldn't make any difference at all to our operating profit. It would however make a large difference to the balance sheet.

Correct - don't think it will make much difference to the Saints

St Kilda Football Club has delivered an operating profit of $150,589 for the 2016 financial year before grant funding revenue, depreciation, amortisation and interest, and an overall accounting net profit of $1,107,311

Included within the accounting net profit is Moorabbin Reserve grant funding and additional depreciation of the Seaford premises due to the expected relocation to Moorabbin.

If the value of the Bentleigh Club is in its pokies business (and it might not be - the land might be more valuable), the club will be waiting on a State Government decision as to the future of those pokies. The club (along with all other pokies venues) owns the rights to those pokies only up until 2022. Until the Government decides what to do post-2022, those pokies may have a very limited value and therefore the Bentleigh Club's value may be temporarily depressed.

The Saints are still in dire straits.

$17.1 M in AFL distributions (  biggest amount outside GWS and GC )

A $5M grant to relocate to Moorabbin.  (Then they've had to write off  $4M or so on the Seaford venture, with probably more to come.) That accounts for their $1.1M "profit" this year.

With a $3.2M commercial bill due to be repaid by the end of 2017.

Probably the most important aspect of our debt is what portion is funding income generating assets compared to non-income generating.

With interest rates at all time lows it is a great time to be investing in projects that can generate an income for the club.

Melbournes debt is to its supporters for being [censored] for so long. If Hogan does his knee they should take the club behind the garden shed and do the right thing by everyone

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
