To give away 3 home games should be worth a couple of million?
Taking the long term view, when the yellow hordes eventually invade Australia they might look more favourably on StKilda supporters who had the foresight to pander to them early.
We might be assigned the less menial roles in the new order.

Re: We've been Shanghaid
The last time we had a home game at Docklands against Port was in 2013. We haven't had a win against them since 2011. Won't be holding my breath to have a win against them over next three years.

Re: We've been Shanghaid
Well I am excited. My Aussie workmate and I have already agreed to take the train from BeiJing to ShangHai. I have never been to ShangHai. And it will be the first time I will watch the Saints live since Barry Breen was doing goal kicking practice.
I fly each month from Minneapolis to Beijing. It's not that bad. To say it is arduous is a complete farce. It get in at 5pm and am at work the next day at 9am with 12 hour time difference jet lag and can function OK.
Approach the situation with positive energy. Pick the right team. Make traditions. Use it as a bonding experience so that the players will be asking to go. Then kick on afterwards at a beach in Thailand for a couple of days with the WAGS. And bank the money.

Re: We've been Shanghaid
While business wise this is probably good for the Saints what pisses me off though is that Port get the lion's share of the advantages, BUT we have to cough up OUR home game.

Re: We've been Shanghaid
I would be picking half a dozen players and getting them somewhat savvy with the language over the next six months... May as well put that best foot forward.

Re: We've been Shanghaid
Port seems to play a number of βawayβ games at neutral venues. We are the AFL's bitch so it will be appropriate to swap possible wins for certain losses.

Perception is a funny thing.
Hawthorn sell home games to play in Tassie, and they're geniuses.
We sell home games to play in China and we're the AFLs bitches.
