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

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: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
