PAFC make AFL history hosting a game of ping pong in China, so why are the Crer customers so upset?

[Jevy]

So, no AFL has been to China before???

I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't know another AFL deal anything like this one.
The PM thought it was unique enough to gain some cheap likes

As we now enter another exciting AFL finals series, it’s amazing to reflect how much the great Australian game has become part of the Australian ‘brand’. For example, in Shanghai last year, when Melbourne played the Brisbane Lions in an exhibition game for the Shanghai Expo, the exploits of the exciting young indigenous footballer Liam Jurrah, impressed the owners of Russian software company Kaspersky so much, that they were very happy that they’d signed up as the club’s major sponsor and as the backer of the Kaspersky Cup.


Chad Wingard should win us a couple of million dollars in sponsorship revenue.

Which one

How many dollars?

 

[Vikingblood]

So whats the deal?

There is a whole lot of vague stuff and no substance. There are no dollar figures or real specifics. Port cannot lose from this, but as I expected, there's very little substance and a lot of puff.

You dont want to give up a game in Adelaide to play in China!!

Looking forward to Ports new recruiting zones in China

You mean how many million in the multi million dollar deal? Details on the millions TBA

Wasn't part of the SMA deal that both SA sides play their home games at AO?

Which part of "multi million" doesn't excite you, Captain?

 

[Cleric]

Will the Crows pre-game entertainment feature a tribute to the stolen generation or the children detained on Manus Island next time they play a game screened into Australia?

No but we wouldn't be doing deals with human rights abusers like China or North Korea.
Hey there's a tip Port, North Korea might sponsor you.

 

[Vikingblood]

Which part of "multi million" doesn't excite you, Captain?

The lack of detail about that figure. It's another smokescreen at this stage. Multi millions to who? Game development in China, PAFC or the AFL?
TV deal, nice, but given those rights belong to the AFL, what do PAFC generate from this?

 

[dav3]

No but we wouldn't be doing deals with human rights abusers like China or North Korea.

So you're not doing any deals in Australia or the US? Who are you approaching then? Greenland?

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Wasn't part of the SMA deal that both SA sides play their home games at AO?

So there is absolutely zero room for movement within the deal? No possbility at all that you're able to give up one home game?

So, your saying you dont know

KTs interview on SEN
http://www.sen.com.au/audio#cZHejQgSB2yYcvhd.97

When asked why another team should give up their home game, he said that PAFC had a contractual obligation to AO so it couldn't be our home game. He said that before they went down this track, the PAFC had spoken to a number of clubs who were 'willing to have a conversation'. He wouldn't say what they would get paid but said that it would be commercially advantageous for them and it would open up opportunities for them. KT reminded Andy that there are similar arrangements that go on in the AFL every year (NT, Tas).

You want them to read out all the paperwork during the initial announcement?

 

[Nelso]

I heard KT rang Fagan first as he wanted to see if the minnows down the road wanted a piece of the action. But alas they have the same contract as Port has with the SMA.

 

[dav3]

Maybe I'm confused, but I thought that when you "sold" something some form of payment gets handed back to you.

 

[Jevy]

So, you want a handout from another club then

We're offering an opportunity, and some clubs have clearly expressed an interest.
At Souf, did you ever hear of a win-win situation?

 

[BRWB]

Have to send GWS or GC to China.

Would anyone care?

Would anyone notice that they were gone?

Would it really matter if they didn't come back?
