Intralot is actually Greek..and going down the gurgler here

    Hmm. Compared with others mentioned and the mostly valid reasons why they wouldn't get on board, I think Intralot would have a lot to gain. If the head office is cashed up (?) *anything* that gets them good exposure would be brilliant after the negatives upon negatives since launch. Shrug.

    To be honest I don't see what Coles or Safeway/Woolworths would get out of sponsoring an AFL team.

    Brand recognition? Yeah, because they're such an unknown.

    Loyalty? I can't see there'd be much noticeable difference.

    Where's the imperative for them to throw money away?

    I've done a bit of work with Globe through my uni course, and there is no way that they could afford to become a major sponsor of an AFL club. They are not large enough, nor will it be a wise financial investment for them.

    Yeah, and even if Globe did have cash to splash around, I don't see how an AFL team fits with their brand image.

    I have heard rumours, none of them particularly credible, that Betfair was in the mix.

    The only way that Bet fair could sponser us is if they were aligned with Luxbet. Sportsbet was told no because of this as luxbet has invested interests in the AFL.

    The Afl will open its doors next year to the possibility of another betting agent as a sponser.

    Ive been thinking IntraLot for a little while now.

    Brand new scratchie company from Germany, looking for someone to align to.

    They're from Greece, and they're in no position to be sponsoring an AFL club. Profits are severely lower than what was planned and budgeted for. They only operate in Victoria (so they don't need national exposure), and there's no guarantee they'll still be here in 24 months.

    Exactly.

    Melbourne could do a sponsorship deal with Pacific Brands. Would certainly get Melbourne some front page news exposure which would be a good thing for the club. Plus Melbourne already has some links with China.

    Apart from the fact they are laying off 100's of workers to save $$$ and then go and take a major sponsor ship? I think they could well get a lot of publicity for the wrong reasons doing this. Therefore this would not be in the picture

    Heard on the rumour file this morning that we're going to announce our sponsor(s) on The Footy Show on Thursday.

    Wouldn't be surprised. Garry would love to be the one heading up the announcement and would obviously have Jimmy and the other on as well.

  • Quote

    A good way to get the sponsor on board, by saying that we will announce it on the footy show, let's just hope it's not announced in the last 2 mins at 11:30 when we have ll gone to bed :)

  • Quote

    I can't wait until we get a sponsor, and not just because it'll help give us some measure of financial security.

    Some of these suggestions are ridiculous.

    Yeah, hopefully they'll make announcement soon, I keep reading this thread for info but all I see are suggetions about companies to 'target'.

    Good idea Jarka, we should try and lure "Target"

    New Target Logo

    Unfortunately Target already sponsors Geelong (and when I was doing some work at their head office in September, they played the Geelong theme song on the PA system quite regularly :rolleyes: ).

    I did however have a chat with their marketing manager and suggested that they should look at sponsoring Melbourne too, as to not alienate their Melbourne consumers... needless to say he was less than impressed with my idea.

    Another fantastic idea down the drain.......

    Well perhaps, and sadly its not the time of the economic cycle to be snaring our spiritually aligned car sponsor, the trident emblazoned Maserati.

    Back to reality (maybe), looking forward to the footy show, hope some good news comes to light.

    Yes The Maserati would be just perfect. The latest Model is sublime, a return to the true glory days...italian style

    I think he may be joking...

    rumours floating around demonology and the radio that Gary Lyon has pulled some strings and that MFC will be announcing their major sponsor in front of the football world on the opening footy show thursday night.

    If true it is a clever way of giving our new sponsor exposure and getting some positive press for MFC!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
