2011 AFL club financial reports

Updated with St Kilda Football Club information. This now means all Melbourne clubs have submitted Annual Reports, as well as Port, Adelaide and Brisbane. West Coast havent submitted an annual report but IPL has and that information is in the papers. WA clubs will submit to the WAFC who put out one later, GWS/GC probably wont put one out this year, being wholly operrated and funded by the AFL, and Sydneys is available only to members.
