Tigers (multiple Leagues CLub)
Raiders (multiple Leagues CLub)

Probably the closest I can find but a bit old (2013).
NRL teams are asset richer the AFL teams overall because of their leagues clubs, which lets be real, are dependent on Pokies.
And some teams own their own grounds and developed surrounds which pretty much assures a substantial additional income.
AFL/VFL teams did not have the benefit of pokies (and when they came in the AFL discouraged them so much that only five Victorian clubs still have them).
A good revenue earner though.
The Victorian clubs had and some still do, small social clubs, than the large league clubs.
And none own their own ground which is more a consequence of the way Victorian rules developed than economics, but in retrospect perhaps not the best outcome.
I would think the most NRL clubs are asset richer than AFL clubs.
Value maybe a different argument.
Re the Suns.
I think the AFL will maintain them on the Coast, but a fall back position is to hand the license to the Southport sharks and reduce the need to pour in cash.
Be interesting to to see the value of clubs “if” pokies disappeared.
