I just had a set of new Hankook tyres fitted to my wifes 4WD.

Just before the MFC announced Hankook as a sponsor, I was in the middle of shopping around for the right tyre v price. (If anyone has done this it is not a great deal of fun).

Upon hearing about Hankook backing the Dee's, I simply logged onto their website, put in my postcode and called ther nearest supplier (the closest was a couple of km's from home in Carnegie). To my great delight, not only did the guy instantly recommend a tyre, but it was nearly HALF THE PRICE of the equivalent Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli or Continental tyres.

The guys who fitted the tyres were also sincerely pleased that I chose Hankook because of MFC association.

I've been happily using the Hankook tyre outlet in Carnegie for many years

Message to any prospective sponsors.

Please factor into your offer the fantastic benefits of getting custom and glowing endorsements from psoters on this site.

The goodwill value of that alone is worth, say an extra ..., well let's say an extra $500k? ;)

But get in quick because at that price the second sponsorship should be snapped up within 24 hours.

I actually brought a set of Hankook's for my Subaru prior to the sponsorship around christmas time. I purchased these through a Independant tyre retailer in Gippsland.

I can safely say that they are a very good tyre, and was rapped when I found out about the sponsorship as I know that the company provide a quality product.

I went from a set of Pirrelli's to the Hankook, and for almost half the price of the Pirrelli I can safely say that it is of very similar quality.

For me it was a partnership that was 'meant to be'...

The Hankook website is a good start but it only has our biggest dealers and doesn't cover all areas. There are hundreds of other Hankook dealers around, so if you are looking for one in your area feel free to email me and I'll put you on to one.

Remember, L.D. Wholesale Tyres are the actual sponsor of the club, not Hankook itself (we are the distributors of Hankook for Vic/Tas)

Which raises an interesting possibility since the MFC plays in a national competition and it therefore follows that there must be Hankook distributors in every other state who potentially could benefit to an extent from this sponsorship, not to mention the parent company in Korea.

So why couldn't the club put together an additional sponsorship package to cater for the interstate Hankook distributors?

Could be worth a few hundred grand to top up our total sponsorship package for the Hankook brand nationally to say, a round $1m?

Probably worth more in normal times but we are going through a GFC. :)

Just discovered a Hankook dealer here on the Gold Coast at Nerang.

Sure probably more but never noticed it before and all of a sudden there it was staring me in the face.

I wont need new tyres for some time as i have a new car but will be recommending them to family and friends.

The exact point that WJ was making. The dealer in Nerang will get the benefit of Melbourne's sponsorship with the Victorian/Tasmanian dealer but the club should consider making proposals to the WA, SA, NSW, Qld and territory dealers as well as Hankook itself regarding some sort of additional sponsorship deal to embrace them as well.

in the current climate, and given that we already have hankook on our jumpers or website or whatever, i cant imagine other companies forking out money for exposure that they are getting regardless.

hankook1,

can you recommend the best way for us to support L.D. wholesale tyres, rather than the hankook brand only?

FWIW, it's a good suggestion and hopefully, will be followed up.

I'm glad you're not on the board with that negative attitude.

its not a negative attitude, its a realistic attitude.

while it WOULD have been a good idea, if it was followed up prior to the signing, no company in there right mind would decided to fork out extra money for a sponsorship that already exists, that they are getting advertising from, just because they benefit.

its like asking nike to pay you to wear their shoes after you purchased a new pair.

As we only distribute Hankook products, the best way to support LD's is to buy Hankook tyres deanox. Hankook sales in NSW, QLD, WA won't help us directly, but the stronger the brand gets nationally the better we will be.

Our relationship with Hankook is very strong and very positive, this sponsorship is just something we did off our own bat.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
