I kind have to go against the grain here...

One of St.Kilda’s biggest problems is that they don’t often persevere with any long term strategy for growth.

Casey, Tassie, NZ, often coaches.

If this makes us a bucket load of money then I’m all for it. Granted few have faith in long term growth but if we’re out on our butts for 2-4 years before we play finals again... then cash in

Fantastic, love Shanghai it's a fantastic city. A great excuse to visit.

Plus there are massive commercial opportunities available in China. This may very well be the best initiative by the club in the last 50 years.

When your mortgaged to Town Hall you have to do what your told to reduce debt. Corporate dollar will be ok, however having friends in China, they have told me 2 years now no one there has any interest and most tickets are giveaways. better not give up a home game for this.

Can we start a Saints pingpong team and send them over with Richo?

There will be huge crowds (who actually give a sh*t), and Richo can do a Kevin Rudd and do his post game in Mandarin !

Anyone know how to translate 'pleasing ' ?

Beggars can't be choosers, we have to get some pennies in the pot somehow.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Perhaps we should start planning for the Box Hill Hawks VFL away match next year. We could stay in one of the local hotels for team bonding. Invite the local media together with Mandarin interpreters, to see motivational speakers such as Richo discussing tactics. Could be a good opportunity and especially pleasing for team development.

As it is PA's initiative how does it fit in with a long term strategy for the Saints?

Money... get the money for as long as you can, invest it back into your development.

Not the best example I know... the analogy with Tassie confused me :lol:

Shanghai proved to be a tough market to break into for Gold Coast, who are understood to have made less than $200,000 from this year’s match at a cost of giving up a true home-ground advantage.
Wait...

What....?

Would want to be around the $2M mark wouldn't it?

They might as well just send two VFL teams to China, as there will be little interest, just a bit of curiousity by the locals, and chance to get wined and dined by the officials.
