I have just noticed that the mfc megastore now has for sale some of the 2009 Reebok range without sponsor logos. The training tops have been on there for a while but now media polo's and a few others are on there. I would have thought if we were close to landing a sponsor we would have held this back so we could sell these with sponsor logos.

They cant hold back on it forever they need to get clothing revenue going or they will go backwards again its makes business sence to at least have somthing out there to keep the dollars ticking over. As people will start buying now in preperation for the footy season.

Also Deebest Richmond did none of the sort the Afl gave them luxbet because they turned down sports bet. Richmond did not pick up the phone the afl did. Just thought you should know.

    Well if the AFL helped the Tigers get LuxBet then WHY cannot the AFL help the Demons get BetFair or some other Major Sponsor?

    Nevertheless, I hope that the Demons are getting close to now signing up a brand new Major Sponsor. I was a bit worried that they never had a Major Sponsor for the NAB Cup but giving away our sponsor "space" to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal was a fantastic idea. However, once the real AFL Season starts we will definitely need to have our Major Sponsor on board with us.

    If anybody has any suggestions of who could be possible Major Sponsors for the Melbourne Football Club I think we should Email our ideas to the Club.

    What about Melbourne's Crown Casino? I notice that the Sydney Swans now have Star City as their sponsor on their shorts?

    Or how about the ANZ Bank? Or even Telstra? I know that somebody half-jokingly mentioned them? Maybe even Virgin seeing as Richard Branson is currently setting up a Gym Franchise in Australia? There are heaps of companies out there that I'm sure would be keen to sponsor ANY Club in the AFL.

    Latest rumour is that MFC will shortly announce not one but two major sponsors. Neither will be kicking in the top dollars but the combined total will exceed the sum of most single major sponsors.

    I also heard that rumour. Although I doubt it will be much consolation for many on here who have waited this long, I at least am now confident that we will shortly have two co-sponsors that will add up to approximately $1.5M/year.

    Thank goodness.

    Lux bet (Tab) is the offical Afl beting facility that is why sports bet got rejected that is why no one else now can get another betting agent as a sponser. Sports bet has although been told that there is a possibility of joing in next year... Maybe something the dees should keep an eye on.

    Has anyone ever heard of the friends of melbourne part of the MFC there would have to be a way to use the influence in this to draw a major sponser.

    Question was there not a partnership between snickers or was that more of a gimmic for the footy show??? I think the Richard Branson Gyms would be great if we could get sponsered by them.

    They're called Virgin Active

    I'm not going to have a go at the club because I don't expect an update until things are signed, sealed and delivered, but I'm running out of fingernails to chew. I need to know soon that all that tin rattling wasn't in vain.

    I heard Greg Deham also this morning. He spoke about a deal that was pretty good almost being finalised and also a fallback deal that although not as lucrative as the other one, would still be OK. He said it is very unlikely we will begin the real season without a major sponsor, but it won't be as good as the $8 million over 4 years that we thought we had done with Mission Foods.

    He finished the discussion predicting the announcement within 2 weeks as said by loges.

    Well that all sounds good. But we've been hearing rumours and speculation for weeks now, so it's hard to get excited about this.

    Perhaps they should auction it off on eBay..... Guarenteed to generate some interest and it has got to be worth more than a burnt piece of toast that resembles Elvis....

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
