So Gillon gave himself an extra $20k to deliver a huge loss for the AFL

Are the Essendon players still threatening to sue the club and AFL?

Or has that been sorted out with a $ettlement?

"The poor on-field performances of powerhouse clubs Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon last season and their failure to make the finals also hurt the AFL’s bottom line."

Oh great. Look for them to try and fix that one...

Kochie on AA says he has threatened the Suns, if you want this to be a one-off thing, go ahead and wear your home jumper, if you want to be a partner and work with us and make it an annual thing you will wear your away jumper.

Thought they didn't care?

It's cute that he thinks Port will have a say in it

$2m on community projects and a further $1m getting the ground ready for the China game.

Two years out of Finals.

Are they a footy club or a Rotary/Lions club?

I don't recall there being a line up of clubs wanting to play in China against Port

 

[GameofSloanes]

He says it's in their contact for the game that gc have to wear their away strip. Lol
Everything that guy says sounds like a late night tv commercial. He's always trying to sell something whether it is a community club, China, history, the best most optimistic he's ever been for the upcoming season, or indigenous programs. But he just sounds like he's trying too hard and therefore comes across as dodgy imo

 

[the universal]

It is completely reasonable and rational to despise Kochie. He is an irredeemable man in many facets.

Kochie wouldn't be making threats if it actually was in the contract for them to wear their away strip.

AFL: New Smaller Screen! You're Welcome!


The AFL are excited to announce that purchasers of their Live Pass will now be able to stream games on a tablet smaller than ever.

In an announcement, the AFL said "in 2017 live streaming picture size on Tablet will be shown at iPhone size due to new Broadcast Agreement. New features to come."

There is no word yet on the 'new features to come' but insiders say the AFL is trialling 'no sound,' 'black and white' and just charging subscribers but providing no vision at all.

"We know that fans found a full screen on the iPad too confronting and will be thrilled to pay $89.99 for an inferior picture to last season."

"We also thought it would be fun to let the fans find this out after they'd purchased it and are stuck with this.

"Of course, as always, you can pay a lot more and get Foxtel. You fans are made of money so that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, we at the AFL operate on the belief that everyone has Foxtel," said an AFL spokesperson.

Fans have reacted by saying 'this is the most AFL move in the history of AFL moves.'

Asked about fans’ anger, an AFL spokesperson said they are currently working out a way to tax fans for complaining.

“They never thank us. What about that time we made food prices at stadiums go from insanely expensive to pretty expensive?”

I love Kochies threat of taking the game away from GC, good luck finding another team who will give up their home game to go to china.

"Gold Coast has worn its traditional red and gold home guernsey in all seven of its meetings with the Power since 2011, regardless of where the game has been played."

Their red / gold has always been their away strip against port .

Does anyone have Tony Cochrane's email? we should email him pretending to be suns members and tell him we were angry when he took away one of our home games, but will be doubly angry if he gets bullied by Port Adelaide into wearing an away jumper. Tell him Kochie called him a "bitch-chairman" that "will do whatever big kochie tells him to do".
