Gday again demonlanders it has been a while since my last post but that was due to the fact I moved to Melbourne.

Now on my agenda is a question.

Has the Melbourne Football Club found a sponsor yet as surely that would help us in our times of financial crisis. From memory ( I may be wrong) but didn't we lost Primus as a sponsor at the end of last year.

Richmond announced a new one today http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl...9-19742,00.html

So it reminded me that I do not know if we have found one yet.

With the exciting times ahead with us gaining the number one national and pre season draft picks surely the people that are employed to get off their asses and find some sponsors can use that to our advantage.

Surely we cannot go into the season with no sponsor on our team polos or jumpers.

    thats why the mfc should have drafted ............ (I'm not going to start that debate again!)

    No sponsor, issues with AFL and MCC handouts = Trouble for 09. A major sponsor is needed by the end of Jan from where i sit or we are in trouble

    Haha I didnt mean to start that debate I just meant with the talent we now have surely it would not be that difficult to get a major sponsor. I mean this is the oldest club in football and one with a rich tradition that is playing Australia's national sport of AFL.

    I mean for god sakes Sandringham have more sponsors than we do.

    A question I suppose needs to be asked. Do we devalue our brand and take what we can get for 1 yr? instead of say $1m for outright make it 600k or 2 x 350k like richmond? I'm sure even in this climate the contacts the MFC and MCC have surely this type of short term arrangement could be made.

    Surely you could have posted in an existing sponsor thread rather than starting a brand new one which has no new information.

    Search for previous threads and that is where your answer will be.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
