I don’t imagine Carlisle has forgotten the time Murphy punched him in the guts when he wasn’t looking.
He’ll be fit enough to ■■■■ us over in the Dreamtime match.
AFL CHIEF executive Gillon McLachlan has declared the China experiment a success and says the first priority will be to increase the crowd capacity of Jiangwan Stadium.
Tickets for the game between Port Adelaide and Gold Coast sold out within two hours, with the final attendance figure at the Shanghai venue reaching 10,118.
There was widespread criticism on social media however, with vision of the television broadcast showing some sections of the stadium completely empty.
However, McLachlan was quick to point out that those sections were off-limits to spectators.
The League boss said a review of the game would take place immediately.
“We think we’ve invested for the long-term here - we’ll continue to work with the local authority and the layers of government in this country,” McLachlan said after the game.
"But today’s been a big success, I’m sure they would have enjoyed today.
"There are challenges here - all the tickets were sold and then you have down that end, left of screen, some corporate marquees.
"'So a lot of people would have been in there, eating and drinking. You saw where the public seats were, every seat was full.
“The priority now is probably to increase capacity.”
Yep, ignore what you saw. Sold out. Success.

‘This AFL funded junket has been a massive success’
That is the biggest load of ■■■■■ excuse Gil has just come up with.
Seriously no one, not even the most inbred mental Pygmy of a port Adelaide supporter would believe that.

How did D Mundy find so much space with only 20 odd seconds left in the game?
They’re both sht irrelevant clubs. Who cares what they say/do to each other.
Legitimate lol at the bold bits

How good was Richmond getting in front despite Houli’s pathetic effort at attacking the ball. Even when they suck, they can get in front, and lose. They really do take sucking to another level.

For the record, Jiangwan Sports Stadium has seating capacity for 25,000. Gil is effectively telling us 60% of the seats were off limits to spectators.
Legit curious to know how spectators knew which seats were ok and which weren’t when you see the holes in the sections that did have spectators.

It was a Port home game so they were just trying to replicate what it’s like when they play at home.
Half empty stadium with those there who have no idea about football and barely speak English.

[quote=“Speedy_Gonzales, post:228, topic:10444, full:true”]Wayne Carey was on radio recently saying he never got too personal with regards to sledging, more pointed out the players lack of ability with regards to their game in a none too subtle way.
