KUDOS TO THE MFC AT CHINESE NEW YEAR!



Recommended Posts

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).

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

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
