Those old guineas probably just need some of those anti ageing drugs. I wonder if Mr Dank can spare any of the good stuff he supplies Sam Newman and Graham Cornes with.Will make a nice change from their current supporters, most of whom are old guineas.

There is almost no AFL fan base in PNG - it's die-hard Rugby League, with a little bit of soccer and volleyball. I'd be surprised if 1% of the population had ever seen an AFL game on TV.A lot of recent dialogue in Canberra about potential travel bubbles in the pacific region opening up has throw a real curve ball out there for the AFL.
Apparently COVID hasn't been too kind to the blues from a financial standpoint with a lot of their off field interests not being able to run effectively.
As a result they have been in close discussions witt the AFL and PNG government about running a trial in 2021 where they sell 3 home games per year to be based out of a stadium that will be built in Port Moresby
There's an existing fan base for the game PNG but this one really makes no sense whatsoever for me.

Hey they made a profit as well... after government grants prop them up and not paying the players what they were owed.Maybe it's time, for you to reinvest your energy in your own shitshow of a club
What do you mean used to?When I lived in Cairns, a team or 2 were fifo'ing some PNG locals in each week to play.
Zero chance this happens, there is no money there, the joints broke.
Australia used to finance the place quite heavily. I wonder if it's still the case?
What do you mean used to?
No I mean we still fund them, I don’t know why, the country is richer in resources than Australia, it just that it I’d siphoned offDo you mean in that we still hugely fund them and that it's not past tense?
Or are you asking how we funded them?
No I mean we still fund them, I don’t know why, the country is richer in resources than Australia, it just that it I’d siphoned off
Pm meI don't think the resources are being exploited and if they were, it would be a foreign nation, like Australia taking advantage of it and Indonesia has taken half the joint and they're full steam ahead mining it.
Bit hard to play in Rabaul, the town is under ash, kokopo maybe but even then , footy is reasonably buoyant in moresby, used to have a strong comp in Lae in the 80sI'm hearing similar, but Rabaul in the conversation.
They want to make a New Britain/Wayne Brittain thing
catchy.

Yep those independent auditors the clubs use along with the AFL but the financials can't be trusted.Not sure anyone can trust any financials record Carlton keep, let alone how they position them to their members out of desperation. My source is still certain this is a very real conversation with scope for reality in the future.
Wouldn't put a merger off the cards if they are looking at this too.
