Lets hope the year of the Goat is a good one for the Demons. Come to think of it,they both have horns.

Need to do more work with the other largest growing community, the Indians. Real opportunity here that has already caught the attention of other clubs including Eddie's mob. Mentioned this to the club a few years ago, but did not seem interested. Was not part of the marketing strategy?

That says it all.

Try again a new mob in control now.

I believe 'Ni hao' is what you are looking for HH. Say that to a Chinese person and claim you are speaking Mandarin and they may skin you alive.

Excellent to hear that report, Song. I was a little concerned when I got there at the end of the day as there was only one person left at our stall and it was just one table covered in tickets to win free passes to our first home game (all written in English). Thank goodness it was what I thought it was: just merely a case of winding down at the end of a busy day.

The club deserves to be commended by the sounds of things! It's exactly what I have wanted them to do for ages (i.e. reach out to new supporter demographics).

Maybe we should play an exhibition game there..what could possibly go wrong?

Brent+Moloney+AFL+Shanghai+Showdown+Lion

Oh wait....

Well, at least we won that one...

I have nothing wrong with this but unfortunately unless the club can start providing entertainment on the field it's a futile exercise.

Everything is working well for the club now EXCEPT the on-field bit.

My boss is Chinese and he's adopted Geelong as his team. He's been in the country for 7 years and in that time has just jumped on a bandwagon. I don't blame him.

I went out with an Indian colleague of his and their family for dinner and the little son (about 5) was playing on his dad's smartphone, and got all excited when he saw the Hawks had won. The father didn't care but with the boy obviously going to school here and just going along with the crowd it's no surprise who he supports.

Winning games is now the final piece of the puzzle. I know it's easier said than done but the club needs to take that final step or it will forever languish in the supporter stakes. Chinese push is amazing but we have to give these students a reason to be interested.

It's up to the players now.

truer words were never spoken

apart from some periods under Northey and Daniher we have been losers for 50 years and that is overwhelmingly the main reason why we are down the bottom end of the membership/attendance ladder

I would not be disappointed if we became the Dragons, already have the tatt for that!

I really hope we win Round 1 now with all these free tickets given out!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
