Certified Legendary Thread China History in the Making

[tribey]

Ford implied Port are doing all the heavy lifting for the "lightweights".

His implication was obvious. Port has a history of laying the foundations for future gains (being one of two existing foundation members of the SANFL, the AFL coming to SA in the first place, sublicence emancipation, Adelaide Oval, the SANFL reserves setup, China), ie. doing the heavy lifting.

Looks like the facts speak for themselves;

No?

if Crows are such lightweights why do Port require an extra $2.5m per year in handouts?!

That wasn't related to the inference, besides which, they're not 'handouts'.

All 18 members of the AFL receive distribution of group revenues generated depending on their yearly circumstances.

I post some facts and you attack the man. Which part of the facts I posted worries you the most?

You posted something about having less payments from Afl HQ and yet you guys posted a loss the last two years.

Sounds like mismanagement of finances, Fages modus operandi.

Good luck with your new sponsorship.

As tribey posted above, they are not handouts. You have just highlighted that you don't understand the AFL equalisation fund. As per my previous post, stop embarrassing yourself.

It's one of the more bizarre conflations I've seen.

If the Google boys fall upon hard financial times, did they even create Google?

But I canz read the numbers so proof tarps 119 poooort

Among the many things they collectively imagine, like tarps returning, SANFL integrity, 70/30 divide, that they don't have any feral supporters and that Dangerfield was ever going to finish his career there

Just because you don't like the name "handouts" doesn't make them anything other than 'handouts'. You received $2.7m more than the Crows and yet you are the 'heavyweights'. Whatever pumps your tires up I suppose!

Going with the 'hands on ears yelling I'm not listening' approach I see.

Kerry Packer once said if you aren't actively trying to minimise your taxes you need your head read. Surely Kochie would know that?

Maintenance of training facilities paid for by the SNAFL with money that should be going to grass roots football, now that's a handout.

$300K from the NT government to fund a "Pride of South Australia" AFLW team, now that's a handout.

Payments by the AFL to clubs to compensate for commercial inequities resulting from the draw and scheduling, not a handout.

My boat is floating just fine.

Again, you calling the additional $2.7 "not a handout" doesn't make it "not a handout".

Which part of the $2.7m handout do you take umbrage with?

 

[SgtSchulz]

Geez these Camries really are intellectual lightweights.

would 25 years living rent free be considered a handout?

Donald Trump probably said something along the same lines

 

[Steve Dore]

Just as you calling a distribution from the AFL a "handout" doesn't make it a "handout". But then, being a Crows follower, you'd be use to a "loss" being called a "profit" thereby making it so.

Just curious does free rent for 27 years count as a handout?

 

[tribey]

A "handout" was when we received $3,000,000pa and the Crows received $1,000,000pa in the three years leading up to the Adelaide Oval move.

Describing the annual distribution of group revenues, that the 18 AFL members generate and are entitled to as a collective, as "handouts" is erroneous.

You received $2.7m more than the Crows and yet you are the 'heavyweights'. Whatever pumps your tires up I suppose!

You're concocting a narrative that bears no relation to what Ford originally said.

You like a few facts, don't you Brentmeister

Or that anyone can understand a word that slurs out of Tex's mouth.

Does free rent = the millions we generated for the SANFL over the past 27 years?

 

[Brentmeister]

You like a few facts, don't you Brentmeister

As I've said: the millions we've generated for the SANFL over the years far outweigh rental costs!

Ports been making sanfl lots of money for many more decades. Does not make the rent free any more justified
