Internet helps sell AFL in China

Chinese AFL site

Well I thought id throw this up. I realise not all particularly care but as we ( MFC ) have been on this Chinese adventure for some time Its interesting to see where its going.

Nice to see our Colours and sponsor well represented. I dont speak or read either dialect so hav eno real idea whats going on with this site other than it appears theres a big emphasis on the 'social networking" side of things with all the popular portals there. Other sections doa bit of "Footy for Dummies" in an attempt to explain the play of the game and some of the associated skills.

I might message the club and see if even a one page mini-site couldnt be cobbled ( in Chinese on the MFC website) to explain the history of the MFC etc. ( It could be there..lol..but I couldnt find anything.

Many think this exercise is just a waste of time and money...but I say just as they sought to expand their markets so should we...and theres a few of them !! :)

Sensational idea ... if your using Google Crome (other browsers for that matter) you can get a Translate plugin and read the articles ... some of them are quite interesting.

Go Dees!!!!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
