2016 Non Crows AFL Discussion thread Part 2

China won't know the difference. China won't care.

Of course China won't, just with the teams going over no one outside of Port and Gold Coast supporters (to the extent that any Gold Coast supporters exist) will care (aside from of course our schadenfreude).

I don't understand the reaction here. If they're hoping to rookie him then that would be a fairly sensible punt. The rookie list is there for a reason.

nah it is because they realise their forward line isn't good enough with their prized recruit Charlie Dixon.

I look forward to the ins and outs of the GC and Port teams for the week after the china game.

Out: Travis Boak (beijing belly), Chad Wingard (beijing belly), Ollie Wines (beijing belly), Patrick Ryder (beijing belly), Charlie Dixon (Ankle)

hahaha watch and see people Port Power will convert the Chinese into AFL lovers. LOL

Omg what a team to get to promote our game overseas.

Will be interesting to see how many freeloaders tag along at AFL expense. (Or is the state government contributing to this junket?)

Looks like we lost a coach. Must have impressed Worsfold while he was at the club.

Also isn't he Katrina Gill's partner so we will probably have a media producer role opening up soon.

The biggest freeloader on this junket is Port Power- the AFL and our State Govt and associated bodies such as Tourism SA, educational bodies etc etc are financing all this and more with our scarce govt money. Spin it any way you like Jay but this whole thing is just another extension of the State govt being Poort's largest sponsor

Well, that's just shit then

 

[MRB37]

If they get it, good on them. If it turns into a one of game it proves Port were only ever interested in the gimmick and PR

I don't care about it either way, but there's a lot riding on it for Port. They're basically hoping this will be the fix for all their financial problems from here to the end of time.

If it fails then is there ever a chance they survive without handouts?

Get dude316 on it

It will do nothing for Port or the Gold Coast. If the gold coast wanted to do something to generate tourism to the GC they would get a Chinese team to play games on the gold coast, not the other way around. All this game will do is sell china to port supporters and gold coast's supporter. When the NFL or NBA play games in china, it's because the Chinese tourist department has paid for them to come over. When the AFL goes, the AFL and to a lesser extent, Port pays for it. It's why the state pays for Liverpool to come to Adelaide, because their millions of fans back in the UK will see the game, they see the players and team posting on social media about the various tourist attractions that they visited and get sold the location as a destination.

We (AFC) will pay our 'share' for this exercise.

Will they have pre recorded crowd noise to add to the fever that will grip the Chinese that day? They will need a BOO and BALL background noise cry for the Power.

Mitch Clark delisted, didn't last too long at the Cats

 

[Dixie Normous]

Well done to Koch and whoever else was involved for putting together the China game - should be good

Smart move also given that Shanghai is the only place more polluted than Alberton. Shouldn't take more than 3 mins to acclimatise.

I heard they are trying to track down the guy who stood in front of the tanks during the Tiananmen Square protests to join them in the NTUA scarf shuffle

The club seems to be doing well at the moment. Not.

I'm looking forward to some good news for a change.
