maybe we should get some players shipped in from china to help us out (made in china, so to speak). either way, there have been rumours flowing around on 3AW with neil mitchel today that the title has changed from demons to just the dees because the word demon is offensive or something in china. any truth to this? And, in all seriousness, why does the club even care about china? does anyone have info on why we are wasting time and money in china?

    Well the club obvviously believes that it can reap some financial rewards in the future. EPL clubs have benefited from involvement with China - Everton etc. Perhaps the club willl international list a player from China and hope to parlay that into a sponsorhip or other financial benefit.

    I've actually seen quite a few young Chinese people in Demon scarves walking to the G', and even some cars owned by Chinese people with MFC stickers on them...which you'd hardly ever see.

    Perhaps the experiment could be gaining momentum. Although they probably would want a more appealing side to go for.

    Actually I did notice quite a lot (realively) of Chinese on Sat.. well where I was.. lol.. Some even with a bit of red and blue on...but that might have been coincidental.

    Felt sorry for the blighters...imagine coming to this year's opening games as your first foray to the G !! :unsure::(

    At first I thought this idea was just fantasy. But I am warming to the idea. At the very least there is a large asian community in Melbourne that are completely untapped.

    We can run educational tours...explain to them that its just like golf...team with lowest score wins!

    Far fetched perhaps but Mugabe would get away with it in Zimbabwe

    I don't think people really understand the whole China idea.

    Its not about trying to gain the attention of the Chinese living in China. Its about the huge amounts of Chinese students living in Melbourne who could jump on board the club.

    As was said above, there is a massive untapped Asian market in Australia, and if we get get them supporting the red and blue then the MFC will benefit hugely.

    And we can still call them the Demons - even if its not the 'official' name of the club.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
