........ And another sub-major sponsor on the way. The combined total will be greater than the revenue gained from the Primus deal. Also, I think you will find a another former player from the 90's was heavily involved in brokering the deal.

Can't wait to hear what the ardent critics of Jimmy and Schwabby have to say now.

Hrm.

Yes this is a concern, I wasn't aware of this. (2m contingent on us staying in Olympic park deal)

I am fuzzy on the details but wasn't this deal going to be far too expensive for us which is why we were keen to get out of it?

I am excited about the new stadium (it's looking great from the train) but a little concerned about the cost.

Happy, happy days!

I believe Lawrie De La Rue (a long tome Demons supporter) was heavily behind this sponsorship.

Might be worth congratulating and pledging support:

Yes, Mr De La Rue was integral in securing this deal (Caro's article says so).

I heard on SEN that there's going to be a press conference sometime today where the Hankook (and possibly the other co-sponsor) deals will be formally announced by the club.

My understanding was that we'd still partly house our operations at MRS (or 'The Missus' as I've heard it called recently) at Olympic Park, but less-so than originally intended.

This would mean a reduced cost in rent, to around $200K-$300K... I think. I thought I read that in an article a few months back.

... or I may have heard it elsewhere. I have a contact involved in the management of that facility, but even she's unsure at this stage. Obviously negotiations are ongoing.

Yeah u would think they would not hold out much longer announcing the second sponsor as they would be keen to start making jerseys with the new sponsor logos on them. I know i am waiting till thats sorted to buy a new jersey

Very good news at last and is timely to see all the efforts have achived a positive outcome!! Will be great if both sponsors are announced and on board this week! Will give us an opportunity to support the sponsors! and the whole club can then concerntrate on footy in the 2 weeks before Round 1.

Bit late for the family day on Sunday but will need to let supporters know about merchandise with sponsors logos - maybe in 3 or 4 weeks time. That way we can thank sponsors for coming on board!

The league has been advancing the Demons money to deal with cash-flow issues and is understood to be helping the club secure its second major sponsor, which is understood not to be linked with gambling agencies

I think given the direction the club is trying to take, this is quite good news

"Well done Schwabby and Jimmy who have worked tyrelessly to get this deal over the line. The Demon supporters will be pumped"

Courtesy of a SMS to SEN this morning. I wish I was that witty at 6:30am!!

SEN also mentioned the combined sponsorship deal of Hankook and ???? will be worth $1.5mil a year which indicates the next sponsorship is worth $2.4mil over 3 years (bigger than Hankook). Announcing Hankook early will give them some spotlight before the bigger and more prominent sponsor is announced?

I think the press conference has been and gone, because there's a report on the MFC website: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsart...15/default.aspx

It clearly states that there will be another sponsor, but that sponsor has not been named yet.

Maybe the other major sponsor will be announced on the footy show tonight?

At least this gives me a good reason (for a change) to actually watch the Footy Show tonight. :)

While I am very, very happy that the Demons now have this new (co-) major sponsor in Hankook tyres I won't be totally satisfied until we have our 2nd major sponsor signed up before Round 1.

I wonder who the 2nd major sponsor could possibly be.....??? :blink:

Great stuff.

I think Hankook will be the only ones confirmed for a week at least as you may aswell give both sponsors time on stage to themselves.

The Primus deal was $1m a year, so this is really promising stuff. Here is hoping that we can turn a couple of the companies that miss out on the major sponsor slot to be second tier sponsors.

Also, in Caro's article she referred to the MCC taking us back (or us going back) and I was wondering whether that means we could share some space in their merchandise store which is much less hidden away at the G.

It's a small thing, I know, but just something I thought about when reading the article.

Just received a club email announcing the Hankook deal. In it there was a link to Red Mercury, which is a service offered by Vodaphone. Is this something new, or just a part of the ongoing Vodaphone gig?

I have never seen that promotion before. Good to see one of our other corporate partners doing deals for the members. I best give them a call to see what it'll take to switch from my Primus phone and internet connection.

Fantastic to see Hankook come on board too, i'll endeavour to support them like I have supported our other major sponsor's over the years.

Not sure about that.

Not sure either about the membership tally on the right, whether its new or not.

Either way, I've never noticed it, but I love it.

Hi Demon fans,

I'm with LD Wholesale Tyres, the Hankook distributors in Vic/Tas and new major sponsor for the MFC! Thought it might be a good idea to join the number 1 Demon forum in case any of you have any questions regarding Hankook or LD Wholesale - where to get them, which tyres to choose etc.

We are very excited about the opportunity to be officially involved with the Demons and look forward to a long and prosperous association.

Hope to se some of you at family day on Sunday and at the G throughout the year!

Go Dees!

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
