That could be the fire starter!

Motlop to drown St Kilda in his honey, calling it now.

 

[bontyhb]

Please god no

 

[TJASTA]

Ah yes, because St Kilda are known for their large fanbase.

Very cynical of Port to buy a home game from the Gold Coast to play in China. I understand Port are contracted to play all their home games in SA, but even so the common view is that GC didn't have much choice but to agree.

St Kilda will have more say in the matter.

AFX is probably a better choice for PA, to make the business gonnections in China. The game is just an excuse to set up a marque, pour some champaign, and discuss buying and selling access to Chinese and Australian consumers.

I guess i am a bit cynical too.

Awesome. Will bump this post a year from now after I fly to China 4 weeks in advance to get ready for this super clash.


Can't wait. * yeah!

 

[Macpotata]

Anything that ******* russell says shouldn't be trusted anyway.

We really should be grateful that the AFL has to pump so much cash into financially-struggling clubs here because that's the only thing keeping us from "the Shanghai Dragons will enter the competition next year".

As long as it’s not a preseason match. Shudder to think what the Saints boys might do if let loose overseas in the offseason.

 

[BrutThough]

FFS, why cant we just play Port at Etihad for once.

 

[Cincinnatus]

I heard Port were given the all clear to go to China so that eventually they could * off there entirely in the CFL.

 

[irish]

Wow that's an upgrade

 

[Unique Name]

Trade off?

Saints asked the AFL about sacking Richo with 2 yrs left on his contract. Gil said he'd pick up the tab if they gave up one of their home games to the China experiment.

Could be a disaster if they visited this place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Little_People

Any of the clubs that are funded by the AFL (GWS, GC, Lions, Saints, North, Melbourne, Dogs, maybe even Swans) have very little say in this stuff.

2 times in the last 15 years or something like that.

It is a joke.

It is a joke.

At least this means we probably avoid a trip to Adelaide.

 

[BrutThough]

It will be the first time in years we play Port twice.

 

[Drewie11]

So now the Chinese don’t have a team to support.... great work Kochie

3 at Docklands. However, there were 4 York Park games.

But yes, the last 4 games have been at AO, and this year's fixture will make it 5.

 

[Rotayjay]

So what will it be next year? Actual attendance 3,000 and the AFL says it was 11,000?
