I'm in tears.

Those dills can’t even spell ‘effete’.

If Warren Partland is ever announcing anything to do with our China strategy, that's when I'll know it's dead and buried.
 
‘Scoupe’ Partland? The best in the business he is- he can tell you EXACTLY how many AFL listed players lined up in the sanfl in any given Magpies game.

Also - never underestimate his ability to take a phone call from Corey Shuttleworth with the big inside goss in crowland.
 
LOL, :D

So sponsor makes secret deal with red chinaman & the aftermath of this so very devious deal is that the Adelaide Football Club has somehow shaken hands with the ghost of Chairman Mao, well at least i hope that those $$$ do actually come back into the coffers of the AFC.

Yeh good one Locky;)
