Those wins - Freo, Carlton, Richmond, Brisbane, Essendon, St Kilda

The last time we beat a Top 8 side at AO was the Bulldogs in R10 2015.

Since our win against Hawthorn at Etihad in R21 2015, we have had one win against a side who were in the top 8 at the time, which was R17 last year against North.

Very average.

Thankfully we've never lost in China (yet).

My Dad, born and bred in the Port, his first money making venture as a 12 year old was catching and skinning rabbits on the swamp that is now West Lakes. He'd trap them, take them home and skin them then on his rounds selling the paper in the pubs in the Port and he'd sell his rabbits on the side.

Back then kids weren't allowed in the pubs so he'd stick his head in the door, yell out "come and get your paper" and when the unsuspecting punters made their way out he'd offer them some fresh rabbit to go. Reckons he never went home with left overs.

My old man used to just blow up letterboxes in the neighbourhood, same vicinity.

Not sure Darren Burgess time and wages is best spent spending 9 months on planning for one game against a mid table Gold Coast.

I wonder if the money spent on flying him back and forth from China gets included when Port speak about the profits made from this venture.

Over the period of 9 months sure, but it's not like he would've dedicated all his time to it or even anywhere near half his time - would've just been a bit here and there at a guess.

Nah, whuffer is right, our high performance manager didn't need to get involved with us sending our squad to China for a game. Should mind his own business.

come on whufc, thats a pretty long bow to draw

as if he spent 9 months full time on this.

would have just gone to check out a few hotels and then make sure of the food quality. as high performance manager or whatever he is, surely thats expected?

Sure he did - needs to plan training and conditioning workload leading into game, recovery after, timeframes etc. and obviously nutrition side of things.

Flick your sarcasm detector on.

Has been to Shanghai four times in the lead up to the game.

I wonder if that has been taking into account when Port talk profits etc.

I sure hope it's recorded somewhere, hate to know you're laying awake and night, wondering......
