Guys, back on topic please
I love perception as a continuing narrative.
Better fitness will greatly help Jongy to execute his skills too. Early days he always looked to be kicking the ball just at the point he was running out of breath.
Apart from the onfield value that Jongy offers its great to know that he can help us tap into a huge latent supporter base amongst Melbourne's asian community. There is a cashed up Asian middle class potential membership and patrons and donors and Board members. .
With more time on their hands and a different attitude to work/leisure balance than their parents and grandparents had. the early adult Asian demographic could be prime candidates to try and engage and get to join up.
A guy with a story like Lin Jong would be a great asset to a push into that area. If the AFL want to expand into the west of Melbourne and try and hold Soccer at bay then we have to get the a Asian community onside. Jongy being a success story by playing good footy and beating opponents and playing in a couple of flags for us, a couple more flags, would help a lot.
Woofers are just becoming more and more bent in the head :) And on another thread someone is suggesting supporters sing Italian Opera before the match...
We also have a player called Hamlet and our captain is a Marxist-Leninist exponent of historical materialism!
