According to Kochie this trip is a cash cow!
Is it the Cash Cow or just a cash cow.

Seemed stupid to take Rockliff all that way with a suspect Hammy, you would think he would be on the plane back now in Business Class

Cannot understand why he went. You don't ice cramp ( as they did on the weekend ) and he should be on his way home now to start rehab. Stupid decision to take him.

I’ve never known anyone to hate HK but everyone has different tastes. About 12 years ago I had the opportunity to move there for work but declined as our son was still quite young. If I had the same offer today I’d be over there tomorrow

Can you please let me know when someone leaves your workplace?

Or, did you vote yes?

Had the opportunity to chat with the PAFC General Manager - China Engagement a week or so ago, was a very interesting chat about the revenue streams, this years projected income and a couple of partnerships soon to be announced as well as how the club is going about engaging the locals and what benefit that will have for us, long term. There will be a game in China for at least the next 5 years with current and in coming deals.

Made me change my thinking a little, instead of wanting a "cash cow" this year this is all about an on going revenue stream that will supplement traditional revenue streams.

I know, you know, I know.

They ain’t getting rich with this venture but being able to fund their football department spend or at least supplement it for the next x years is a good idea.
Pubs and pokies have been done to death so they needed an extra revenue stream which this venture has provided.

Our partnership with Uni of Adelaide is the biggest potential money spinner.

Our "Power Footy" program in China ( Shanghai, mainly ) focuses on 8-14 year olds, initially it's about playing footy, getting outside, exercising and being active. As they get older they learn more about Australian culture, South Australia and in turn Adelaide. By the time they get to 13/14 and begin to look at their tertiary education the University of Adelaide comes into the picture with our open universities very attractive to Chinese students. Education related travel is Australia's third biggest export money spinner behind iron or and coal ( ahead of natural gas in 4th ).

Is it surprising that with this being the third year that there is no ‘big’ Chinese sponsorship?

Ok, was listening to the radio on the way home last night and they mentioned there was no Chinese Big sponsorship.

That surprised me but that’s because it was wrong. Any idea if it’s value?

Only explanation is if they are using them with the corporates/off field events, even then you would be filthy if Rocky misses the next game when he could have been home getting a better recovery in

The only theory i'm running with is we have the Bye next week, otherwise you're spot on.

Freo in Perth after that, Boon can you please head over again? 100% record in Perth ;)

Hartlett most certainly went for the corporates, he'd be last in line for a spot in the emergencies that went over. Rockliff I can only assume they thought he was a chance, I'd written him off when I saw him with ice on his hammy last weekend.

With the bye it will be 21 days from the Hawks > Fremantle so he should, given it was minor and the trip does exacerbate the issue, he right by then.

West Coast were prepared for me, I don't think the Purple Army would know what to do. :lol:
