Quite right - I saw the update when we put it on the market.

Apologies - sold to established local property developer, Metro, for $23.7 million.

Just think how many #positivelingers keepcups that could buy!


Did we get involved with the bentleigh club in Joe Gutnick days?

 

The lengths we're going to in order to fund T Mac's contract is quite absurd it seems

I've heard it just covers the first year of Cerra's contract 

 

Wow!

Is this what it feels like to support a successful, well run club?

Feels quite refreshing

I could get used to this

Yes, and we owe this massive windfall to his vision when the club took over the assets of the then failing Bentleigh Club. The end price is massive although we need an accountant to tell us how massive because I would imagine that unless the club’s exempt from capital gains tax, a large amount of the windfall could go to the tax man.

Sporting clubs are not for profit in Aust? If so does that mean they're exempt?

A tidy sum. I hope it is all tipped into the Home Base Development fund rather than used to cover the shortfall in revenues v running costs as a result of Covid. We had a $3m loss last year iirc correctly.

I've run my eye over the 2020 financials. An uplift was booked to reflect Bentleigh at market value last year. There's no provision for the future tax liability applicable to the uplift/gain in the event of disposal which means the sale is CGT exempt

You can only sell an asset once.

Wisdom in spending the proceeds is key.

Unless you find an Alan Bond 🤣


Had the place had a building permit, we'd have got a lot more from this, likely north of 30 mill.

But if the club is happy, I'm happy.

Why do people still use that dreadful logo? I have only bad memories of that era!

 

Can @Demonland start a poll with what to do with the money?

One of the options has to be monorail.

How many good news stories can I actually cope with?  flag favorites, brownlow favorites, record membership, financially flying, 5 x AA’s etc etc If we win the flag and then get a home base my karma may well be complete ….and i’ll be taken from this earth. But i’ll be happy as i go :-)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
