It's official, yesterday Stynes was officially endorsed, along with his new board, as chairman of the Demons.

He had to hold back tears at the press conference and made it clear that under his watch the club would not relocate or fold. It also sounds like he will target the younger immigrant communities of Melbourne as future supporters, much as North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs have. A bit sad these clubs had to become "desperate" before that happened, but good that it has anyway.

No word yet as to how they will view the China policy. But the focus appears to be on growth, not cost-cutting, so hopefully it will be embraced.
