Second Major Sponsor is...

Featured Replies

It's not us! And all I'll say is it's a company that doesn't have a big profile in Oz as yet but you can all use their products.

A communications provider? Skype?

A new VIRGIN business about to hit our streets?

A Nigerian Fraud Scam?

 
I'll go Hisense

Agreed.

My prediction a few weeks ago of a dual sponsorship with HiSense/JB HiFi might come half true !!! ;)

I knew it.

A new brand of toilet paper manufactured in the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan by members of a collective farm related to and introduced to Cameron Schwab by Borat, our magnificent #27 ticket holder.

Brilliant Chelly!!! The company saw a synergy with us finishing on the bottom.

 
Correct, announcement tomorrow morning in time for the big Season Launch function.

Hisense sounds logical.

Tease us some more Hankook - is it a good deal?

I don't think it'll be Hisense, sponsoring Hisense arena would be enough exposure for them.

And yes, do you have anymore infro regarding finances?


Its obviousley an overseas company. Can you tell us the origin of this company hankook1? Please!

Don't know $ value but it will be significant.

No more teasers, you lot are like kids shaking the pressies on Christmas eve!

It has been a while since we have had any decent pressies. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Trojan frangas?

I can think of 2 reasons why almighty Hankook would know.

Maybe they are upping the ante, but more realistically, if i were a company sharing duel major sponsorship of a team, i would want to know who the other sponsor is. I eagerly await the next 24 hours.

I will then be able to go to the demon shop and get the home guernsey as well as the white away strip.

Ps. I too will be heading for a Hankook outlet when i get my new car in a couple of months!!!

I droped into the MFC shop today and asked when the new jumpers were coming out and was told not for another 2 months!

My info was that it was less than the Hankook one. About $1.25m together. We will soon know.


Hmm... there's been the bet-ezy addition to the platinum sponsors on our corporate page, and I can't say for sure but I didn't think powerade were there before, at least not at gold partner level.

Believe it or not I actually check fairly often!

Hankook1 has demonstrated another great reason why they signed on first- they get to tease us with the second, and every time they do, our response is 'Oh Hankook, your tyres are so wonderful and service so good, all at a reasonable price, please tell us more!'.

:)

Anyway, I'm interested in the two lines of rumour going on - one along the lines of a community based partner, the other (pretty reliable, since it's Hankook;) ) suggesting an international company with a low profile but established market in Australia.

Interesting, very interesting. A bit of thrill, frankly. At this rate, we will be the only club to record a profit on 2009!

and by the way, powerade is coke.

Why would hankook tease us, hes followed the club for 50 yrs, thats what jimmy said at casey on saturday, there tyres and service is world class, so i suggest you bite your fat lazy tounge, and show some respect.

Hardly needed that kind of response.

Get a clue.

why would they tease us every time enforcer, there making big coin,he signed up because hes a demon,hes happy because he knows whats about to follow.

the only ENFORCER i remember is MICK DITTMAN, if its you champ i take everything back.


What about Costco a big American retailer soon to open in Docklands???

Gut feeling!!!

Hey... that's not a bad suggestion. While i highly doubt it is them, that would be a VERY smart sponsorship.

You could be on the money with that one! If it is. ALDI might follow suit and sponsor a club down the track.

 

We could be getting this stuff sorted out just in time. A lot of AFL clubs are going to be in a fair bit of financial trouble 12 months from now.

I just hope as well as these sponsorships we can sort out our MCG deal-Then we can move forward.

We must stop the AFL drip feed ASAP.

It won't be Costco, because among other things, they also sell tyres, and are aligned with that french brand with the big fat rubber dude as their logo. (couldn't bring myself to write another tyre brand here with the support from Hankook).

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
