That's huge, but i doubt if it will be the biggest loss occurred by an Australian sports team this past year.Swans post MAJOR 2020 loss

The worrying bit for me is i think there will still be restrictions in place at the start of the 2021 season and I'm not sure how long they will last.

Looks like the base distribution was reduced to $9.2m given how NM always separate base from other distributions.
..............................$2020.........$2019
AFL – Distributions 9,207,459 11,003,144

Mixed news i guess you would call this and very sobering.
I hope I'm wrong but i think the 2021 season is going to be very tough as, but hopefully not as tough as this past season

In some ways, it could be worse.
Members might be willing to cop one season of not being able to attend (especially when they've already put at least some of their money in), but 2 might make some (re)think and numbers could fall significantly.
Also, particularly for Vic clubs due to the high venue costs at MCG/Docklands, getting crowds limited to 25% or so wont exactly help revenues a great deal.

Time to go back to playing at local venues then, especially if crowds at the major grounds are restricted.

With what it'd cost to bring those venues up to scratch, it's not worth it.
Don’t need to be up to scratch - I will happily pay full price to stand in the rain/mud at Moorabin and drink warm tinnies and eat cold dimmies.

I'm sure the club sponsors, coterie, and VIPs would love that.
Not to mention all the media.

A sign of the times and i fear the worse for the first part on next season.
There will have have to be cut backs at all clubs at all levels just the same as there will have to be in other sports

On a semi related note, Melbourne Victory seem to be sending out messages saying they expect to be allowed crowds of 50% capacity when their seasons opens in a few weeks.
Assuming this is true, other Vic venues (such as MCG & Docklands) would expect similar or better (better because more time will have passed).

Health officials may allow up to X% capacity, but covid protocols of the sport will change that final number allowed in.
For the 2 finals at AO last year, SA Health allowed 50% capacity, ie almost 27,000. But because the AFL covid protocols said no seat could be sold in the first row at ground level, no seats could be sold in the 4 bays/aisles by the interchange area, seats close to the coaches boxes couldn't be sold, spacing in pods up on the hill etc it meant a bit less than 25,500 seats/tickets were available to be purchased/allocated.
Same thing happened at Suncorp for the RL State of Origin game in mid November. Qld government allowed 100% capacity which is 52,500 but because of NRL covid protocols there were areas where they didn't sell seats and the crowd was 49,100. It's rare that a SoO game at Suncorp has got less than 52,000 since the redevelopment in 2003.

Brisbane is the last of the reports available for free on club websites. All the others need to be obtained through ASIC (which has raised the price AGAIN, now $42 each uncertified). These typically become available anywhere between now and the end of feb, except for GWS and Swans who could be anywhere from now until the death of the universe.

Snap shot of Port’s financial report. AGM is tonight I believe
After taking in to account one-off COVID-19 related and restructuring costs of $1.186m, depreciation and non-cash balance sheet adjustments, the Port Adelaide Football Club incurred a statutory loss of $4,040,579.
As a result, the club finished the season with additional borrowings of $4.275 million, increasing its overall debt position to $12 million.
