DEMONS TO SPORT HANKOOK LOGO IN $2.1M SPONSORSHIP DEAL

MELBOURNE has lured a tyre company to keep it off the skids.

The Demons will today announce a co-sponsorship deal with Hankook, believed to be worth about $700,000 a season for three years.

It ends months of uncertainty and eases the pain of being pipped by the Western Bulldogs for heavyweight sponsor Mission Foods.

Melbourne is believed to be in talks with up to four other companies about coming on board as a joint partner.

If Melbourne can command a similar price from another sponsor, it will surpass the total value of the Primus sponsorship deal that ended last year.

Hankook is expected to feature on the front of the Demons guernsey in Round 1.

Depending on the strength of the secondary deal, both sponsors could rotate on front and back of the guernsey on a weekly basis.

Hankook, a Korean firm with a strong foothold in Australia, emerged as a late contender for a role with the Demons.

The tyre giant was last night putting the finishing touches on a three-year deal.

Yze_Magic always a deliverer of good news.

Good to see Schwabby not buckling at the first couple of subpar offers and instead waiting for this deal

Ohhhhh Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!

The confirmation we have been waiting for. Although we are not by any means out of the woods yet, this sponsership really gets the monkey off the back, I couldn't be happier with the way Jimmy has been running things since he took over.

Things are looking good off field. Gives the kids a bit of time to develop into a good team which will then get us out of the woods.

Great news!

We still need another co-sponsor to jump on board and match Hankook. $700K is good but we need to double it to match other club sponsors. Mission Foods are giving the Dogs $1.5 per year.

I am sure will have another on board shortly.

Should we watch the membership numbers rise sharply towards the start of the season?

Will be an interesting next few weeks.

Also,

On another note, how much did everyone want to be 'The One' to announce this on these forums?

Kudos to Yze Magic who beat us all to it! ;)

Well done to all the team!!!

I am getting sick of McNamee jumping in with his bitter pills and saying i could have done better. Get over it.

Damn, I just bought new tyres as well

I don't understand why they didn't wait to announce both co-sponsors.

Surely that's what you would expect where you're going to run with a co-sponsorship situation?

Good to hear.

Although the club had raised the notion of turning its back on the new Olympic Park stadium in favour of moving the club's entire operation back into the MCG, that push was knocked back by the AFL.

A condition of the $2 million 2009 funding agreement for the club shared by the AFL and the MCC was that Melbourne moved its football operation from the Junction Oval into facilities at the soon-to-be-completed stadium at Jolimont.

Hrm.

Great news! Well done to the new admin team.

Sylvia photo misleading as we don't play with that top in NAB or challenge games. Or do we?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
