Yeah you're right. We still picked up a bunch of Americans following the game from that little bit of exposure all those years ago.
I think something similar might happen here but on a China scale. Playing games in China and running Auskick programs is the easy bit and won't bear much fruit...
It's almost an unimaginable jump going from one game in China to a Chinese professional league.
I think what will happen will be similar to what happened when footy was shown on ESPN in the USA in the 80/90's. You don't have to go far on this site to find an American who fell in love with the...
The SANFL are too greedy to just set a clean stadium rent figure and learn to live with it. What we now face is a situation where fans know that their club makes no money on food and beverage and as a result will tone down their match day spend. This reduces the size of the pie for everyone...
I didnt refer to the clubs, I was talking about the league. The SANFL and its clubs were in much better shape than the WAFL and the VFL at the time. The SANFL didnt need to place a team in the in 1991. They could have held out for much much longer. They had public support on their stance toward...
One thing about the SANFL prior to obtaining the first AFL license was they were financially well off. They owned Football Park and were in a good position to hold out for a better deal into the AFL until Port forced their hand.
Someone mentioned in this thread why the SANFL and WAFL didnt try...
Really bad call by the Thunder. You dont stand in the way of a player trying to resurrect his AFL career. They may feel like they are trying to establish themselves as a destination where a delisted player can try and make their way back on to an AFL list, but this isnt the way to do it.

How does Port or any other club going to Dubai or OS impact Collingwood directly?
The club with the biggest or close to the biggest football department spend lost to the club with the third lowest football department spend in the Elimination final. There are far more factors that Eddie should...
Our current home and away jumpers are awesome and I dont think we will ever change these jumpers ever again. But what we also have is a club asset in the prison bars jumper. I dont think the club wants to wear it much more often than we currently do. I know our fans wish we could play in it a...
Ports back up plan is to do nothing. Keep our current OneClub set up and have our AFL listed players not in the best 22 still scattered across the other SANFL clubs. What we WILL do is start making our own SANFL reserves team by stealth and start transferring those players scattered across the...
Integrity was a characteristic of this competition that was left behind and lost forever many many years ago. I love my club but have zero confidence in the people who a running the league. Too often the image of the game is put infront of making the right decision that ensures the integrity...
As of right now the Port Adelaide Football Club from the AFL side down to the u/16 Magpies is all one club. The Magpies were brought back into the fold under the OneClub merger a few years ago and many Port Adelaide people want to keep it that way.
I dont have a problem with what the Crows...
The landscape on reserve sides for the Crows and Power in the SANFL is starting to become clearer. It looks like both teams will get reserve teams in the SANFL next year. However Port Adelaide will have to pay a price judging from the information in the following article.
In a strange twist...
