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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
