Port Adelaide's China game strategy

[OneGreatClub]

The AFL won't allow GWS to play there whilst in a premiership window which they clearly are and please name the Vic clubs I believe no Vic club would go

You..."believe"?

 

[Smithy7]

Oh you weren't the one working for someone who want going to let me in' must be a fun job hahaha

What language is that. What are you trying to say lol

 

[OneGreatClub]

Confirmed. Delayed flight.
Gold Coast are idiots for not paying extra for a direct flight.

Yeah I feel for them, the planning seems to have left much to be desired. At least Ablett is in Business Class.

That same Singapore Airlines plane that is stranded on Changi tarmac with the Suns on board right now while Cathay has got the Port boys to Shanghai seamlessly...righto

After travelling to Asia close to 40 times I could tell you a few stories about Cathay aswell. All airlines have dramas at one time or another but if I still rate Singapore the best of the Asian carriers. Cathay is very good though and I'm using them to go to Manila in November

 

[Great8]

Seriously which Victorian clubs

Essendon were definitely one but weren't willing to give up a home game

You..."believe"?

Why do you think any vic club would go if so which ones?

Cathy have been amazing for Port. Sorting out premium Economy seats for all the players plus all the special dietary requirements. Great sponsor for our situation.

For example, a club that is struggling financially (see below) could make good use of a $500k payment from Port, plus the potential extra sponsorship dollars from the China strategy. A lot of clubs struggle to get enough sponsorship. That's why Port has done this. The Crows have saturated the Adelaide Market before Port even got into the AFL.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...onsor-pulls-out-20170510-gw20yl.htmlDemetriou told Fairfax Media he had personally called LoGiudice to inform him that CareerOne could not meet its 2017 sponsorship commitments. He also confirmed that CareerOne had advised Carlton to look for a new major sponsor.

clubs are not exactly lining up to be part of this.

Ah it seems you aren't wise to phase two of Kochy's China takeover.

It's pretty frustrating that the SMA won't budge on allowing Port to give up a home game. Constant roadblocks is the story of Port's existence in S.A. but I am proud of the work the club has done in achieving this. The game is not the most important facet of the China strategy, it's just a (small) part really but one that our sponsor, Mr Gui, is keen to see materialise..

Dees are believable but I don't see the Pies as keen for this for a number of reasons.

They will budge if you pay them. I'd love to know what figure the SMA would put on losing 1 game

If you know anything of the history of Port, The SANFL and the SMA in SA you know it will never happen.

Demon, Pies keen on playing in China is the title. It let me read it the first time but now has blocked me too.

So Demons and Pies keen to play in China? Doesn't seem to be anything about keen to play Port in China.

Yeah I know how it works but everything has a price. FWIW I don't blame the SANFL and SMA, they are entitled to make what they feel is fair

Of course it will if thy re coup their revenue

Clubs put more value on their supporters and their season than cash,mare you saying Carlton would do it, I don't believe any vic club would, which ones do you think would if any at all?

Perhaps your Crows mate on the SMA board could get us a fair deal because Port sure don't have any representation there. I reckon they'd want millions

The proof will be next year seeing who lines up. It's a risky strategy but could pay big dividends.
