If anyone interested Lasttix is selling GA tickets for GnR for $50

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I copped a $100 loss on the 2 tickets I purchased thinking I'd be able to make it down. Stupid thing is the missus decided to still go and take her mum but I forgot to withdraw the tickets from the sale site so we ended up having to buy another set.
 
Geez venom has nailed that port article.

Port's dismal year in 15th will be the silver lining in what will be a shithouse, 1 sided season as GWS coasts to 25-0.
 
The Greg Denham article is well received on the port board, as expected. My favourite is the person who claims Dixon's goalless game against Collingwood that is called mediocre in the article was "widely considered to be one of the most influential true CHF games since Tredders was a pup" which is extremely special since he was playing at full forward.

No no their right. That shows you how good their CHFs have been since the Tredrea days, that they have to make stuff up.
 
"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...

But revenue increased and I'm not sure many of those sides were particularly successful the year prior.
 
Wouldn't purchasing Etihad be a balance sheet transaction and not impact the P&L?
Would think so.... but depends on what kickbacks they paid.

Also, probably had to take out a loan with interest payments.
 
I still want to know what advice the AFLPA gave to these young players.

They are the group that I am very annoyed about during that whole saga. To be fair to them initially all player issues are to go through their AFLPA rep and if that rep was one of those happily toeing the line and never raised it with the AFLPA then that is an issue. It was once the information came out that they decided to support players who cheated.

Like with Jimmy Hird? ;)
I had a huge amount for Hird in the beginning. Until he lied about taking responsibility. Every action since that point in time has led to the position he now finds himself. I do feel for him, and his family, but there is only one way he can come out of this in a better place, and that's to admit and understand his role in the whole saga.
 
Not sure why they would do that & would be unusual.

Perhaps since the swap was mid season they made the transfer immediately to capitalise off profits from games, or to save clubs from having to send money to the stadium owners. You'd think there would have to be something related to Etihad that cost them money for them to blame their loss on it. It wouldn't be a blatant lie, there would be some evidence to back up the claim even if it's just an excuse.

Bit like Trigg blamed AFC's loss on everything but the reasons for the loss for anyone who looked at the financial statements. Wasn't a good look to say the loss was due to higher admin fees spent on lawyers, etc after tippett-gate or the loss of sponsorship that resulted.

I'm sure the the AFL are always honest... ;)

He was the entire Hawthorn midfield in the first half and played well

Typical...another spoilt brat wanting to play in Melbourne. Paid by the Suns and all his medical bills covered then he ups and p1sses off to Melbourne. Prestia is another one. I hope they both breakdown again. These privileged AHs really get up my nose.
 
Koch issues ultimatum in the rag.

Wear white or you’re out!

PORT Adelaide has issued Gold Coast an ultimatum to wear it’s white clash strip in their historic match in China or the deal is over.

How could the deal be over? It's a fixtured match with AFL support. What a moron
