    Port Adelaide's China game strategy

    My venerable Jewish business tutor, who was a director of Sassoons in Shanghai in the 1930s, was interned by the Japanese in Weihsien for three years and took over what was left of the company in Hong Kong in 1949 - having twice lost everything and three times built a fortune - told me: "If it's...

    Port Adelaide's China game strategy

    No worries mate. I will never forget Round 5 2013 and your kind hospitality. It was the night it all started, the night I gave Kochie a tie with three feathers on it at half time and we came from 41 points down in the 3rd to win by 5. What an omen. As you know, I flew back to HK inspired, asking...

    Port Adelaide's China game strategy

    This is a pretty good summary ... except that I have a sneaky suspicion that the 'Dennis' you mention only has one 'n'. I've also been told that in October 2013, right after this one-n Dennis brokered the partnership with the Hong Kong Football Club, Leon Cameron came to HK, started a...

    AFL and Chinese TV form a new deal following millions tuning in to watch Port

    Up till now the international market has been left to the AFL to come up with valid ideas how to export the game for a profit. Result: nothing workable. Why shouldn't the AFL club that invested in opening a particular foreign market have first dibs on it? Why shouldn't the club that's taken...

    AFL and Chinese TV form a new deal following millions tuning in to watch Port

    You are right, Melbourne did indeed 'think' of it in 2010. Trouble was nobody thought anything of Melbourne. Brisbane sure didn't. Jonno Brown has broadcast how he led most of the team out on the turps until the early hours before the game. There are right ways to achieve impossible things...

    Second club locked in for proposed China game, says Gillon McLachlan

    If I wasn't so close to this, and hadn't been involved since the project's inception, I would probably agree with you. It's a bit like your best mate marrying a girl you have no time for. "Crikey, Bruce, what do you see in her?"

    Second club locked in for proposed China game, says Gillon McLachlan

Everything started with the minimum aim of seeking out a new commercial frontier for the Port Adelaide Football Club, to assist the Club secure financial security and never again be in the position we were in 2012. That...

    Second club locked in for proposed China game, says Gillon McLachlan

    A few facts amongst all the guesswork, commenting and squawking: This project was started in 2013 in Hong Kong by volunteers who are life-long Port Adelaide Football Club supporters. This is how and when the heavy lifting started. Said volunteers regularly donated time and funds to go from step...
