It's because PA have a contract with Adelaide Oval that states they must play every home game there, which will make it hard to find an opposition who is willing to give up a home game of their ownThis is the one thing I agree with. And it shits me. We're the ones wanting to play there, therefore we should be giving up a home game. It's arrogant of us to ask another club to give up a home game for us.
That's what St.kilda thought about Tasmania, hawthorn and now north proved otherwiseMeh. MElbourne tried this approach years ago with little success. The club received a half decent sponsorship with China Southern airlines.
Kochie seems to think this is his brilliant new scheme.
Also big Max spewed on little Tommy, which is also China related.
Why not sell that game to the club they play?It's because PA have a contract with Adelaide Oval that states they must play every home game there, which will make it hard to find an opposition who is willing to give up a home game of their own
No we still wanted Tassie just Grant Thomas did not want the extra travel.That's what St.kilda thought about Tasmania, hawthorn and now north proved otherwise

There is a reason why St Kilda is pretty much locked in for being the tassie away team 2 out of the 6 times from now on.
Sounds like a good idea to me but who knows what the fine details of the contract are.Why not sell that game to the club they play?
ie AFL schedule GC v Port China round 1. GC give up their home game. Port v GC round 18 at Adelaide Oval is nominally Ports home game but the gate and sponsor is Gold Coasts. Gold Coast Tourism would jump on.
You wish, but sadly for you, you are wrong. More likely it will be played in 2018 though due to the tardy AFL.There will be no China game
YesMelbourne did some groundwork but it is a totally different approach by Port. Melbourne wanted instant results. It doesn't work that way. Port have gone in more intelligently and the CCTV deal is a massive bonus.Meh. MElbourne tried this approach years ago with little success. The club received a half decent sponsorship with China Southern airlines.

Lets see shall we. First it was 2017. Then your Figurehead stood in a sandbox and said it was a great oval. Then there were whispers the game would be delayed. It wont be the AFLs fault. Maybe blame the State GovernmentYou wish, but sadly for you, you are wrong. More likely it will be played in 2018 though due to the tardy AFL.
Nah, think what you like. It might take awhile but we will get there.Lets see shall we. First it was 2017. Then your Figurehead stood in a sandbox and said it was a great oval. Then there were whispers the game would be delayed. It wont be the AFLs fault. Maybe blame the State Government

Yes. And I said there will be no game. Delayed or not there will be no game.Maybe read this from the AFL and you might have an idea of what's going on ..
AFL Commission delays decision on 2017 China match
THE AFL Commission has delayed a decision on whether a game for premiership points will be played in China in 2017 until at least later this month.
At its meeting on Tuesday, the Commission received an update as to how preparations were progressing for the historic game that Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast hope to play in Shanghai next season.
However, AFL.com.au understands further details relating to the stadium and commercial arrangements need to be in place before a decision can be made about whether a game is viable next season.
The AFL Commission next meets on the day of the Brownlow Medal count when a decision might be possible ahead of the release of the fixture at the end of October.

Port still think they're in the SANFL. Hasn't quite clicked to them that 'try harder' and 'Port Adelaide football' and 'Ryder is the missing piece' won't lead to 5,375 flags.This, asking a club to give up a home game and tell them to act as the away team is sheer arrogance.
If port want to do this then they should be the home team, sacrifice one of their own home games and compensate the Adelaide oval for it.
Yes. And I said there will be no game. Delayed or not there will be no game.
I am David KochSo where do you work in the Port Adelaide Football Club?
China have recently started a big push towards ball sports within their country, especially soccer. If we can get a few of those kids and families into Aussie rules it could lead to big things.A country that doesn't give a damn about their own local sports was going to adopt a foreign team in a foreign league of an unknown sport?
It just had success written all over it didn't it?
The creed I think?Man United struggled to sell out stadiums in China, and they're arguably the biggest sporting club in the world, with literally millions of Chinese supporters.
So how the feck do Port think that they will get a full house?
