Suns flight to China delayed

[Brad Goodman]

Port Adelaide should have paid for private jets, considering this whole exercise has zero benefits apart from their bottom line.

 

[Royal Flush]

How the afl ever allowed this stupid boardroom butches paper brain storm idea to eventuate is beyond me. I sort of feel sorry for the GC players, but that's what happens when you play for an AFL funded franchise.

It's awesome and completely unsurprising that, even after the presumably comfortable remuneration from a 20 year senior coaching career, Eade still won't stump up the cash for a business class seat.

Disagree. Why should he be out of pocket for work-related travel?

His employer should be taking the cost for that.

Eades doing the anti bradman thing of spending time with the boys. Good stuff. Bit sad for the buggar sitting next to him though.

 

[Nugett]

What kind of flog is Tony Cochrane to be sitting in business class when players are in economy?

I was once on a flight back from Melbourne and sat next to Alan Cransberg and across from Woosh and Co in economy, the reason being that the big, and old, blokes were better suited to the extra room of business/premium economy.

He needs the extra room for his O'Meara and Prestia voodoo dolls

Diddums, play Super Rugby, then you can complain about travelling.

Super Rugby is a comp on life support that hardly anyone gives a s**t about, who cares what they have to do.

 

[rumply]

People really can't work out why Eade is sitting in economy WITH THE PLAYERS?

There are direct flights to Shanghai daily, who organized this... George Costanza? 24 hours to arrive in Shanghai is absurd! Total incompetence.
The Gold Coast Suns must be disbanded and re- located , there is no room in this competition for these amateurs and this poorly run excuse for a football club. Send them to Tassie!

He 100% has those plastic things you put on toothpaste tubes to squeeze out every possible bit, and gets mildly shitty at his kids when they don't use them.

Because not being wasteful is a negative thing? Come on.

I truly can not tell if this is satire or not.

[Bomberboyokay]

Why the * did they fly via Singapore?

I don't know whether it's the same for Brisbane but if you want to go to Shanghai from Perth you're going to have to transit somewhere.

I still can't believe this game isn't veing broadcast into China

I was more talking about your second sentence.

"oh my god you made a mistake in your travel arrangements, that's it no more club for you we are sending it to tassie because you booked the wrong plane"

 

[sataris]

Has Kochie complained about the Singaporean flag having red in it yet?

No, not all, Gold Coast is an AFL folly gone wrong from the start. This latest fiasco is just more evidence of how badly run the club is. They have had months to prepare this trip, the Suns are a joke and it will never work up there.

 

[JackFlash]

From Brisbane you stop at Hong Kong, direct flights from both Melbourne and Sydney are available and are 10 - 12 hours in duration.

 

[JackFlash]

Frig me, just fly to friggin' Sydney and catch a direct flight FFS! From Brisbane it's one stop at HK. Why is it taking them 24 friggin' hours to get there? Absurd planning and preparation.

 

[JackFlash]

Just disband and do the competition a favour, the Gold Coast Suns is a complete and utter waste of time.

There is still a risk of flight delays if you fly to Sydney. And Hong Kong is still pretty far away from Shanghai - you are going to have to fly again.

No matter what Gold Coast did, it was always likely that they would have to take two flights to get there with the additional risk of delays.
