More important things happening. Suppose it puts things into perspective.Day 151 - So much for a presser today
We to would be announcing that we've been held hostage by the SANFL under a shitty license deal.Would have been the wrong thing to do.
Terrorists or an idiot?Terrorists just have to wreck everything don't they.
Hopefully this week it happens.
I'll go with idiot. Or maybe our government are the idiots who gave the guy political asylum.Terrorists or an idiot?
The bloke should have already been in jail.
Of course the other possible reason for the press conference to have been delayed is that the SANFL have been briefed on the content of the proposed statements and have decided that they would be more forthcoming in negotiations to avoid that.
Good point ... KT said they were "drawing a line in the dand." This could well indicate that they are firing a warning salvo over the SANFL's bows! Basically saying ... "Come to the party now, or we go public next week with a combined Port/Crows presser!"Of course the other possible reason for the press conference to have been delayed is that the SANFL have been briefed on the content of the proposed statements and have decided that they would be more forthcoming in negotiations to avoid that.

Have wondered myself. Thr SANFL nuff nuffs always bitch and moan about the money they sent to Port ie the 16mil but the revenue that he $ANFL took from the top was never mentioned. So 70mil - 16.25mil means even with the money that the SANFL sent to Port they are still 53.75mil in front.Maybe the Press Conference was to announce that there would be no press Conference ?
Sorry but it is day one hundred and fifty something.
It was good to see KT respond to Pemberthy's ill informed and one sided argument. I always wondered what the PAFC's contribution to the SANFL via Football Park was over the years and $70M sounds a tad conservative to me but the point is that ill informed journos like Pemberthy are only ever interested in what sells papers and if that is a one sided argument so be it. I think KT might have gone further and called for a right of reply from the Monopoly Times.
It is one thing to put the facts before the converted but another to even the account in a public forum but that did not happen and we move on.
We need to remember that $70M was income over a 20 year period. There is also the inflation factor as 1M in the 1970s was probably worth a lot more than 1M in is today's environment.
Day 153 - I'm guessing no announcement until next week..
Article in the local Messenger newspaper about the West Adelaide Football Club trying to get the local council to defer payment of a $200K debt so that the club does not become insolvent. The article finishes with this paragraph;
"The SANFL this week would not provide detail on whether it would give money from the sale of AAMI Stadium to the clubs."
So we have a situation where the SNAFL is gouging money out of the AO deal and also reaping megabucks from the sale of its assets at West Lakes while numerous SNAFL clubs are on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm sure Wee Licker is happy he got out with his golden handshake in time.
West, Glenelg and South should merge.
