Janus also thinks Port make money from televised AFL games. Its the copyright of either Foxtel or C7 and it would be copyright infringement for Port to try and sell the game to someone else.
The delusion is real deep in this one.
Do me a favour. At the end of tonight's match, when the AFL logo comes up at the bottom of the screen, pause it and read what it says. Because I'm pretty sure it states that the telecast is copyright AFL and cannot be broadcast without permission of the Australian Football League.

Could be wrong. Doubt it though.

There must be some genuine cognitive dissonance going on with a few Port supporters. I have to believe that there are those who can see through the bullshit, but feel an inescapable commitment to defend their club regardless. Everyone ought to be better than that.

Unpopular belief, but I actually think Janus is great at advancing hard to stomach truths. Its a shame the criticism though isn't being laid more heavily at the feet of Koch for his extremely poor choice of words at seemingly every step along the way. Looking, sounding and acting incompetent doesn't win the hearts of anyone, not just 'Chinese businessmen'. A real lack of intellectual honesty after what they happily heaped on Trigg, which was his due of course.

It is actually kind of sad that Port have brought such negativity towards this game.

It is a real match of our native game being played in the world's biggest country.

Only Port Adelaide could take such an achievement and attach such negative sentiments to it.

The AFL should take it off them and give it to two teams who would talk it up in a more positive light.

What part of the AFL selling their TV rights to Foxtel and C7 dont you understand?
And regardless of what ot says at the end of the match it wont say copyright Port Powa. So how do you think CCTV are going to pay you money for showing AFL games on tv?

Maybe the China plan is to bootleg all the power games and sell them on the Chinese market???

Good ol Ford Fairmont thinks the clubs negotiate the draw and the AFL approves it.
They dont football very well over there.
Laughable. Think about it. The draw is extremely hard to organize. So may variables and things to allow for to have a "fair" draw. The clubs would be incapable of doing that between themselves.

I know people who got tickets without real membership numbers in my family! We were not happy at all about what they did. We had Gold tickets that year and there was no priority on them ahead of other membership tickets. You just had to have a membership number. Trust me I was one of those who was down at the club telling them how not happy we were and that is why it got changed in 98 and has been capped at the GF allocation ever since.
Nikki - I'm telling you, we HAD to get gold members numbers to order the tickets, couldn't have ordered them without them. AND not only that, Mum and Dad had to show them to pick up the tickets. I remember it like it was yesterday. The following year they changed it so you couldn't order over the phone. Had to line up. Luckily we got ours through the Club.

Clubs get 5 requests that they put in order of preference and they don't get all of them granted. As an example, in 2014 our #1 request was a game at home for ANZAC round, our #2 request was the first home game at AO, ports #1 request was a game at home vs the lions. Port got an ANZAC game, the first home game at AO and a game at home vs the Lions, because as they will tell you on the Port board, the AFL doesn't want Port to succeed, everyone is against Port.

So all Gold members get their gaurenteed tickets and there's still allocated tickets left over will this ballot include silver members or will it be whoever has been members longest first?
I'm not sure how GF ballots work. All I know is that I went to the 2015 grand final as a neutral, there were quite a few more than 15,000 West Coast supporters and many, many more than 15,000 Hawthorn supporters there (it was 15,000 for each competing club at the time). Not sure how all the extra people got tickets - I booked mine in March as part of a holiday package through the AFL Event Office
