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.

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! ;)

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?

Maybe a training photo?

or possibly Melbourne v Sydney in the NAB Challenge at Visy Park a couple of weeks ago.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
