I read it was all about getting Chinese people who holiday here, which is substantial, to take in a game. I also read it was about getting exposure of the game as a vehicle for companies in China to use to promote their product, which I believe has been successful for port thus far? Remember, this was a club initiative not the afls. And there has been some ratings in China I believe ... hey wookie can we add these into the total

No point trying to sugar coat an embarrassment for AFL. How many Chinese companies would seriously want to sponsor a game which has such low interest and is relatively unknown in China.

[Fred]

Oh my. It's about show casing a product they can use to grow their name in Australia.

Yeah showcasing a product that nobody could care less about in Chinese culture or it's nation.

[Fred]

No. No. No. lol

It is the Chinese company to would advertise/sponsor an AFL club so they could promote their product in Australia. Does that make sense?

[AFLcrap1]

Hold on Fred
Your mentally challenged fumble friend on here says the game was to get Chinese living in Aust interested .
The stupidity of that statement will take a lot of beating .
For example
If I went & lived in the USA & had no interest in Gridiron would I suddenly have an interest if a game was played in Aust.
Even when if I had the slightest interest I could see a game in the US where I am living .

& you fumblers wonder why you get laughed at .

[Fred]

My understanding was that it was also to get visiting Chinese to place going to a game of Australian football on their intimate.

Not sure about Chinese here getting interested as haven't heard that. But if I am a person from China living in Australia and never really took an interest in the local game but saw it played in my home country it may get me interested .

i live in qld but from say south Australia where rl is virtually non existent. If having moved to qld I hear a lot about rl but it doesn't take my interest. However, if I see a game promoted in my home town in Adelaide I would take more of an interest as I have some link to this ... "buy in" if you like.

Lol
You fumblers really live in a different reality .

How the fuck would it interest you if a sport was played in your old country or city .
It's mind boggling the stupidity of that thinking ..

honestly, why do you even care?

[Fred]

So if you moved to the other side of the world and they played a sport called farnarkling and you'd seen it on the news but never took the time to give it nothing more than a cursory interest but then you see that they are playing a game on say Brisbane or Toowoomba or Warwick or Gold Coast etc... wouldn't that spark you interest just a little?

This is what respected FB journalist Patrick Smith said about modern day fumbling.

A couple of the best comments:

" so deficient were the skills the game looked like a rejected script from a Charlie Chaplin film. "

"Adelaide are on top of the ladder. Of 12 games played they have lost three. That should not be seen as a badge of brilliance but only that it is recognition of the Crows being the best of a collection of incompetence."

Sounds about right to me. A fumbling mess indeed.
