[Bon]

What's this blue door place he mentions? I've been away for a few years and can't be arsed using the google.

Number 5?

[Grimario]

Number 5?

Lawrie taking his wife there? Well in, Lawrie.

[Grimario]

I used the internet because Bon was no help. The old Juicy Beans, eh?

Reckon I need to find a new coffee place near work.

[lquiquer]

Great work guys, really enjoyed that one..

[furns]

Och aye laddie

So no good on the Mid Strength piss and no definitive commitment to the Jet Shaped Hats

The only things I got out of that was the club is taking over the EJ in the future. Which must be said has to be better than having the clowns at Northern running it

The other thing was this board of 5 made up of Ledman and his Football advisor, Gypo CEO a hunter based businessman and someone from Northern

Having someone from Northern involved scares the shit out of me more than the Gypo CEO
They cant run their own organisation well FFS

As for the rest of it just the usual hot air one would expect

[furns]

Can't do anything about the catering - that's a stadium deal not involving the Jets.
As definitive an answer on the Jets shaped hats as you are going to get - if enough people want them, he will get them made. Start your grassroots movement Member

[la bazzle]

Couldn't listen - did he apologise?

Did you not hear of his love for Griff and his intent to have him on the Jets payroll?

Lawrie is definitely big on engaging with fans and the community as a whole, that came across very strongly in the interview. I think we will get more transparency under him then all of his predecessors, probably going as far back as John Tsastimas who I thought was the best CEO we've had. Likes of Eland and Middleby seemed to be afraid to open up and just be up front, McKinna doesn't seem to be afraid to answer questions, like he said at the beginning of the interview "It's all part of the job of being CEO".
Most disappointing thing from the interview is that it seems we are destined to be playing the majority of our home games in the afternoon timeslot forever and a day now. The club can only request the timeslots but FFA and Fox will have the final say in kick off time scheduling. This sucks but the reality is that Fox pump huge $$$ into the game and so pick and choose the fixture scheduling.

What's the time difference with China? Can we insist we need Chinese friendly kick off times for our extended viewing audience? 5pm kick offs here are too early to start sinking tsingtaos Beijing time etc, we must be sensitive to their market too, etc...

[borat]

Was interesting to hear what both McKinna and Miller had to say about the Chinese Development player. I thought McKinna stated the obvious which is that squaddies in China are worth a fortune and we are going to struggle to get any player to come here who is any good. Miller seems pretty peeved about the whole situation in how guarded his responses are. I wouldn't mind if the chinese player was signed as a marquee just so that there is actually some salary cap left for the striker.

Thats actually a damn good point. Although could backfire badly as I could see the FFA giving us 3am kickoff times to accommodate Chinese sponsors and TV.

[Couscous]

I enjoyed this podcast.

Beijing is the same time zone as Perth

[Jeterpool]

Furns put something out on twitter, but I thought I'd share it here.

If there is anyone who is interested in joining to podcast send a PM to Furns, me or Bodes. With the changing format of the pod this year, there's an opportunity for new voices.

If you have any questions, about technology needed etc, happy to answer them as well.

[MFKS]

Beijing is the same time zone as Perth

So it is twenty years behind too??

[GazFish35]

So it is twenty years behind too??

Probably more.

[Grimario]

So it is twenty years behind too??

If Perth is 20 years behind, please welcome Newcastle to the 80's.

[lquiquer]

Probably more.

I don't know how they do it?
"The time in China follows a single standard time offset of UTC+08:00, which is eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, despite China spanning five geographical time zones." !!!!
