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.

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
