Port Adelaide 2016

[whufc]

As an elite athlete, I would be a bit concerned about playing in China with the pollution. Would be interesting to see the affect on the players the following week (or match).

There are no elite athletes in China?

Yep real silly comment

They have football teams in China which are worth millions on millions more than Power players on yet are a comfortable to live breathe and train over there

[whufc]

Have been thinking that on Monday port talked about needing to build a stronger relationship with the government because of upcoming projects

They didn't delve what they were and I've been wondering since

Could it be something to do with the Adelaide Oval deal and potentially looking at removing the SANFL from the SMA.

JB has a few queries about Port Adelaide's plans to be the first team to play a game for points in China next year.

Speaking on the Rush Hour, he was wondering which team will be willing to apparently give up a home game to play against Port.


"Keith Thomas, their CEO, has said 'don't worry, we're gonna be the away team', but very quickly added 'but we'll retain all the rights of a home team,'" JB said.

"So in other words, you're asking a club to forfeit a home team but get no rights once there."

JB also wanted to know how long single clubs had been allowed to sell their own media rights for.

"As single-entity football clubs we're allowed to sell our content are we?" he asked.

"Because I might just get on the phone to Star TV, get our names written on the back and sell it to India and make an absolute fortune.

"Haven't been able to do that to date, but clearly that's changed has it?"

JB was also interested to find out how Port managed to get the deal through after a "very, very, very powerful club" had a similar attempt knocked back in the past.

"[They] went down the path of trying to sell content overseas, had a buyer, had a deal pretty much ready to go, and were told they couldn't do it."

[Bounce of the ball]

Trying to expand in China. How much do they owe the SANFL ? Koch is cringe worthy.

You'd hate him as your president hey?

Port Adelaide could announce the greatest deal on earth and the same few on here will find a way to shit can it.

McLachlan said there's more than one willing opponent and there's been an understanding that one club is "all in" for some time.

JB can go munch another cock.

Phwoar!

Yes, heard him say that.
BTW we were the club JB alluded to I believe as we tried to get a similar deal with India but it was knocked back at the time

[Spargo]

Yeah, how dare Brayshaw (or any other club chairman) have some PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE queries about a deal so big.
We should all simply take the spin doctor, Keith Thomas' word for everything.
Gimme a spell

Truth comes out today,Port are whoring themselves at the expense of China buying the largest piece of land in Australia which happens to be in South Australia.

Bump

Where's Dutchy????????

Yeah there is always alternative motives other than the 'expanding the game' lin

The Powers chief engagement officer was quoted as saying 'the power could become the new force between building partnerships between China and Australia.

The man involved actually tried to purchase the biggest cattle farm in Australia and the federal government didn't allow it upon review by the foreign investment committee.

Indeed whufc. For example, Timmy Cahill.

I wonder if JB knows all about every others clubs deals? I wonder if he questioned our Renault deal? Does he worry about the Ford deal with Geelong?

Gimme a spell? I reakon mind your own ******* business.

Stop taking all our money.

Stop doing things wrong.

We can't believe anything you say.

Stop finding ways to make your own money.

Stop doing things right.

We won't believe anything you say.

Get ******.

Correct. Was turned down on the grounds of national security. Is obviously trying anything possible to be successful this time.

I think he'll be looking at property development in SA as much as anything and he's clearly using the Port deal to develop good will between him and the state government, among other business contacts. He's not loaded because he's good looking.

He also looked like he truly did enjoy the experience of a game at Adelaide Oval and wants to take that to China, it's bound to be for some benefit for him in doing so, nobody expects it isn't. Might find him and his mates like a punt and the line margins, first goal kickers, live betting might just float their boat.

The SA government is footing up about $500,000 for a 25 part series like the old "Winners" with Drew Morphett that'll wrap up all the AFL games as well as have magazine type pieces on different parts of South Australia to attract the tourist dollar here.

[Wedgie]

Property development at Lake Eyre and Woomera?
