SPONSORSHIP (Junk Foods vs Healthy Foods)

Posted January 17, 200916 yr

Seeing that most Junk Food companies are heavily represented in the AFL, (Maccers, KFC, Subway, Hungry Jacks, and now Mission), the MFC should perhaps go for a healthier food option as a sponsor.

I'm sure that if they approached the Minister of the Department of Agriculture, they should surely be able to make a compelling case that would attract serious $'s to promote FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES.

The state Government does sweet FA to promote FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES, and believe it or not this industry usually booms in times of recession.

It would have a positive affect on the general population who already are aware of the benefits of FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES.

Being in the industry I would welcome it (promotion) with open arms, and what better way to promote it than through a SPONSORSHIP.

I'd call that a plum sponsorship that would help pay quite a few celeries!

Don't the Demons still have a minor sponsorship deal with 'Just Fruit'?

They supply boxes of fruit to offices and things like that - I was udner the impression that they were going to be a handy part of the kids programs in Casey, I know the school groups which toured the stands were given fruit for a snack, I asume something like that will carry on.

The fruit supplied in that instance was done so buy a number of wholesalers (including my company) who support the Demons. As for Just Fruit, unfortunately they are no longer in business.

Back to the sponsorship situation, wholesalers and retailors are not big enough to be able to help the MFC in the dollar terms that are require ($Millions). Apart from the major chains (Coles and Safeway) most busineses are small to medium in size. The Government on the other hand has plenty and promoting HEALTH would definatley get an EAR.

Definately worth a try!

i like the idea of having a sports drink as a smaller type sponsor, and therfore the players can get the perks. something like musachi protein drinks or something like that.

For a major sponsor we should be talking to jetstar or qantas or something like that and that we can save on road trips etc

Those KFC ads promoting their food using scenes from real games.

I like the Bill Hicks policy on this

Do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call, every word you say is suspect, you're a corporate [censored] and eh, end of story.

AFLW REPORT: Richmond

A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

CASEY: Frankston

The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
