Trust you to focus on something so small and insignificant. If you want to chat sponsors, let's chat about how Adelaide has one of the most long-standing partnerships in Australian sport? :thumbsu:

The original Paer China thread started way back in the year of the monkey. History in the making today people's. I'd say going by the results, there'd be plenty of upset Crers this weekend.

"A SECOND Adelaide council is in hot water after documents revealed it spent $15,000 of ratepayer’s money to send its mayor and two staff to China to watch the Port Adelaide versus Gold Coast Suns AFL game.

Playford Council was forced to release documents detailing the cost of Mayor Glenn Docherty’s 10-day trip to China in May after an application under the Freedom of Information Act.

Tickets to the Port v Suns AFL game were not paid for by ratepayers but they will have to fork out $15,281.74 for other costs — including $1800 for a “travel allowance”, $3,253 for accommodation, $4,393 for flights, $994 for meals, $938 for “miscellaneous” items and $1,190 for tickets to a gala dinner.

A similar trip was taken by Onkaparinga Council, but neither council represents ratepayers in Port Adelaide’s AFL home base of Alberton"

Exactly what it is - a junket.

This is getting ridiculous now :

But China .,..
From the port board

"From Rucci's Reality Bites in today's The Advertiser;

"Oliveball

PORT Adelaide’s Chinese adventure continues to deepen far beyond the original thought of “moving out a crowded Australian market” to find new sponsorship dollars. Club chief executive Keith Thomas has returned from his latest trip to Hong Kong and Shanghai with even grander hopes of having Australian football introduced to more and more Chinese schools. So far, Port Adelaide has its “Power Footy” program in 15 schools, adding another two in Shanghai, during this week’s trip. There is hope to take this reach to 100 schools.

But there was an interesting challenge in explaining to the Chinese authorities just what game Australian football is.

“When we registered the program 18 months ago we could not say it was soccer nor rugby,” Thomas said. “We settled on Australian Oliveball. And the schoolkids are enthusiastically embracing the game.”

smithy7 and OneGreatClub like this."

17 schools ...17
They want it in 100 ... looking good

"Australian Oliveball"
