Hope Fagan can tell supporters the rationale behind the India interest ?

Its is a growing competition. also starting to get a Women comp going. a big chance of getting crossover sponsorship going
Looking on they have a competition, established in India,
And the Jharkhand Crows from Kolkata. won last years Premiership in both seniors and juniors.
Beat the Tigers in the Seniors and the Swans in the Juniors.

I'm a great believer of bedding one thing at a time & not trying to juggle too many balls, that require too many "prop up" $$$$$

1. GWS & GC
2. AFLW
3. Country Football Nationally
4. AFLX .....lets face it, the AFL talks about a game for overseas .....ok believe that if you will .....the reality is they want to play 9 a side tournaments in Australia, in the AFL off season, to thwart the growth & exposure of Soccer from ever getting a real foothold .....but the AFL won't come out & say that !

I was under the impression it was an Essendon initiative that we jumped on board with. And at this stage an exhibition game, not a premiership H&A game.

We were approached & showed interest, as long as premiership points were not involved ......my point was, why were we interested? ....was it simply a junket ? , or was there a strategic reason involved ?

 

[Geoffa32]

I assume it is not much different to other overseas exhibition games we have played in.

So do the costs of the junket (lets face it) get included in the "Soft" Cap ?

No AFL want it to happen. and travel and accommodation are paid for by the AFL.

So policies are there to be selectively broken ?

Port have always had the elite in this state in their corner. I suspect it goes along way to explaining the number of premierships.

Surely this is back to front?

I would hate for the game to be during the season, pre or post season is OK but not during.

Why stuff up your routines to put on a sideshow?

The locals would not know or care if it is was a pre season game or one for points.

As has been shown in the past, these games normally only attract ex pats or supporters arranging a trip overseas.

One in twenty years? or do you mean the real Port Adelaide team and not the hipster doofus one?

 

[footy4ever]

'Weren't' by my reckoning. Some distant fading memory tells me we were only in it to test the water with an exhibition/pre-season match.

Yea they certainly had support for changing the Zones a few times. eventually taking half of Salisbury away from Centrals in the 70 and then again in the 80, quite a few of Jack Cahils stars were original in Central's zone until the SA commission change the boundaries.
And they have had a free ride with there Oval and Club rooms. Old and Present.

My bad ....yes it was meant to say no premiership points ....i'll edit the post

Sorry, weren't .....i've edited the post now

I get the feeling the documents should definitely be made public

There goes the Govt funding to AFL clubs and facilities if they do so.

Make it happen. Can we factor in a repayment system for all the money pumped into Geelong.
My god!

An even better reason to buy the Sixers....

Nothing mentioned in the 2007 Year Book, but will check more closely in the morning.

I couldn't find anything, but if I have time tomorrow I might go through some of the Crows' magazines and Year books from around that time.

I did search the Advertiser archives, but only came up with the SANFL plan to renovate AAMI stadium when they were hoping to get a Federal Govt. grant. That all fell through when the powers-to-be decided to move to Adelaide Oval.

Do you mean the down-at-heel, battler-centric, working-class footy club? That one?

Tasmania is overseas

I think he was actually videoing the whole thing to facebook?

I’m guessing he was terrified that round 1 might not include him. Had to get his ugly mug out there so no one forgets about him. Ultimate narcissist.

Mmmmm I guess if they can cut ties with ASADA I can cancel my subscription I have with the ATO and the QLD police traffic department.
I’m finding our aspirations aren’t aligning.

Empty threat

Exhibit A
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...-stadiums-but-pay-no-tax-20180221-p4z15v.html

900 odd players earning on average $250K at a guess. I expect they have to pay some tax. Plus all the coaches and other staff and all the workers at footy games. So in a round about way the industry is paying something.
