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::(

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
