True

Every parent also thinks a year doing Reception will be much cheaper than another year of child care

They shouldn’t be going from childcare straight to school.
Kindy will be there in between, 2 days of childcare = 1 term of kindy $wise

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Kindy then

Kindy then

I think kindy would be cheaper than school.
It would be more the amount of time spent away from the parent that the $ I reckon.

Hey look Melbourne who didn’t even make finals or go to China China China can do it, so why not Port?

I don't know how I'd feel about my club being sponsored by a company unable to spell infinity correctly while also having a logo that is not an infinity sign.

Remember when China Southern joined us as a sponsor, was it mentioned that perhaps they were strongly encouraged (by Labor) to sponsor an SA sports team before expanding in SA? Unfortunately for Port by the time it happened they already had a China game partnership with Cathay Pacific, so apparently we got the "scraps" or whatever...

So is it possible that a Chinese company was strongly encouraged to sponsor an SA sports team before expanding their business in the state, but were waiting until the election to see if plans would progress, or it was part of a government project or something.

With Port left waiting to see if they'd go with the post-election offer, or the backup plan.

Either way, if nothing is announced this week they can't deny they didn't have trouble getting a deal done, which is a surprise after they "overtook" us as the biggest club in the state back in 2014 (where is Chris McDermott now?). Something that won't be questioned in the media.

Do you realise that Infiniti is the luxury brand of Nissan. Nissan is owned by.................Renault. Who sponsored the mob down the road?

What if Norwood came in 2nd?

If it was a choice between Norwood and the Crows it would be Norwood by a mile.

Lulz.

So by avoiding my point you're agreeing there might be some truth in it?

 

[PrideOf]

That’s insane

Like the power odd ball trying to suggest a sponsor would back pay for the time they went without a sponsor

Sponsor: "We're interested in sponsoring your footy club David. It looks like you need to find someone, so we'll come in at the right price."
Koch: "Great. We knew you'd love Port Adelaide for being Port Adelaide. Tiny detail ... we're going to backdate the sponsorship to five minutes after Renault left. That will okay won't it? Won't it?"
Sponsor:

Ooh that’s gold.

Melbourne also announced the other half of their jumper sponsors a couple of months ago. 2 "major" sponsor announcements before Port, one of the most successful teams in the world, and an international brand, have announced 1.

Port supporters would tell us Melbourne are just amateurs at timing announcements for the most exposure and they are patiently waiting, because "it will happen when it happens" and lets not question anything.

From the other board - you can’t honestly believe the level of koolaid - just classical stuff.

We could easily get a replacement for Renault at the level of money Renault was paying.

But you haven't. What happened to 'you get what you deserve'?

We could have easily got a replacement for more money if the AFL had given us a commercially viable deal instead of the handful of nationally televised FTA games we received while shitheel clubs that didn't make finals get 10 games.

So it's the AFL's fault for your non-performance. What happened to 'you get what you deserve'?

The fact that we want to get more money while having a s**t commercial deal means it was always going to take more time to negotiate.

This simply means your President, the self-imposed Guru of Business, has misread the market. Completely.

Not worried in the slightest. It'll get done when it gets done.

So ... "We're holding out for Mr Right (Sponsor)." Port Power should have gone on Married at First Sight, that's what it's starting to sound like.

No, I did not. I hadn't even heard of Infiniti before seeing that tweet. I'm not sure if that says more about myself or Nissan's marketing though (although I can't remember the last time I even saw a Nissan advert).

Doesn't lowering taxes stimulate employment by creating more businesses?

Not just growth of existing ones?

Considering wage stagnation etc that has come with previous business tax cuts in other countries (and ours), I dont think there's any evidence of this.

I'm not saying you don't have incentives that stimulate business growth, but I think tax cuts and trickle down economics are pretty much failures.

The Antonov An-225, biggest plane in the world - the space shuttle used to use it as an Uber

Just like Ollie, it's big and fat and has a lot of Power

225 days until he's out of contract - why hasn't Ollie signed yet?

CC - $115 per day
Kindy - $150 per term
Primary school - $370 per year

 

[matty p]

Kennett pissed of with Koch because David had a go at him, as did other Club Presidents.
Well Port did make a small profit this year.

"Profit". It'll be funny in a couple of years time when they post a huge loss after pushing back their losses from the last 2 years.

What school only charges $370 per year, including all the resources for your child for the year?

That's about right for my three primary school kids. There are additional charges for extra curricular activities such as swimming week etc but that is the base fees.

My kids go to Golden Grove PS.

There's no extra cost for books and stationery?

Bad luck.

Apart from the recent issue with one of the teachers (who was my daughter's teach a couple of years ago), we cannot fault the school.

You got to shake your head at the sponsorship debacle down the road.

When (if) they find another sponsor it will be "well done KT & Kochie for playing hardball to get the millions we deserve"

When in reality it was "please, please be our sponsor" and they keep cutting the price until someone finally agrees.
