The AFL today ln Tianjin

""THE LEAGUE'S push into China has been strengthened by Tuesday's launch of a purpose built AFL oval in the northern city of Tianjin.

The $1.5 million project, which is a collaboration between the City of Melbourne, the AFL and the Melbourne Football Club, has produced the first oval of its kind in the Chinese city.""

Okay...who knew about this ?? lol Whats our involvement ? Are we playing another exhibition game ?

I kind of like the potential of al lthis. Weve discussed ad infinitum al lthis in previoou sthreads in previous years but this is after all real.

Can anyone provide some deeper information ?

>:~))

cheers

    For 1.5M sounds like it will have all the AFL bells and whistles

    I'd be worried if I was Dorklands

    BB the way I read it looked to me that there would not be game before the start of 2012 season.

    However it is mainly guess work on my part.

    Hope Scully and GWS are forced to play there .

    Might teach him some values seeing people who make 1 miilionth of his wage pay to come watch him struggle to hit a target-ha .

    I notice Cam mentioned something about a local team called the Tianjin Demons. If we go to play a demo game again, I'll head over for sure... Shanghai last year was a great experience.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
