It was reported on Channel 9 news that after the Booze Boot affair that it was likely to loose a sponsorship.

This is the club with a 6 and a half million debt. I believe the sponsor could be Mars .

    This seems to be correct- Mars seemed likely to sign a million dollar contract which nows seems very unlikely. Maybe the Dees can take this up.

    Melbourne already have two major sponsors.

    So do Carlton don't they? I don't think Mars was going to be a Major Sponsor.

    Rumour has it, it was going to be a million or so.

    I think the Mars deal would have replaced their current Malaysian tourism deal as joint major sponsor. Last i'd heard was that the deal wasn't going to be re-newed for next season.

    Yes, I just read a report that Mars was a possible replacement for the Malaysian government. I'd often wondered what that squiggle on their jumper was (obviously not enough to research it -- well, I don't really care about who their sponsor is). Ordinary marketing/advertising when the sponsor's name isn't legible.

    So what, business is business. remember what the Dogs did to us with the Mexican food company, they undercut us. This is our chance to get involved and offer a sponsorship that cost them less and may not necessarily be a major sponsor but a slightly lesser one of sorts, still worth a lot of money to us. We have great list of young players that is going places and that may be attractive to them. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    PS. I bet other clubs are circling.

    Agree- and who would want to waste there time.Carlton have denied Channel 9's commentary. Stated here-http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/blues-deny-boozecruise-lost-it-a-sponsor-20100110-m0pk.html.

    Do not know who to believe , they both are great bending the truth,and I suppose who cares.

    Great points Redleg - was thinking about the Bulldogs doing the above when I wrote this thread. Go and get Mars -Cam

    Can see the ads now, Jack Watts/Liam Jurrah spills a mark, takes a bite of a Mars bar and rises over the pack to take Mark of the Year. Miller doesn't make the distance from 40 metres out, nibbles on Mars bar and slots a 60 metre goal and Davey can't outrun Jamar but after his Mars bar baulks 5 players to kick a great goal. Then young Johnny who can't get a kick in his under 9's has a bite of his Mars bar and goes beserk for a best on ground and is chaired off by his team mates all nibbling on their Mars bars.

    Later that week Cam Schwab posts a pic of himself on his twitter/facebook page with a big grin, Mars bar in hand.

    My point is that if what reported is true, Mars would be after a major sponsorship and all that Melbourne would be able to offer would be a secondary one (not on the jumper or shorts).

    I would be surprised if Mars bothered with a secondary sponsorship.

    That would be correct. The Malaysian Government doesn't want a bar of them anymore.

    I think from memory Essendon tried to do exactly that to us and the doggies with the mission deal.

    Spot on. A major sponsorship of (say) $1,000,000 would deliver a lot more exposure to Mars than several secondary ones adding up to the same amount. Mars will have a budget for a major sponsorship and will want to spend it on a major sponsorship. It's as simple as that IMO.

    I could never work out the logical connection between a conservative muslim country and Carlton.

    Maybe a Borneo Booze cruise anyone?

    Maybe not as simple as that IMO. These are tough times and they may wish to reduce outlay but get maximum bang for the buck.

    Believe so, however we have two- HANKOOK & KASPERSKY (whom I noticed advertising on a oval which S.Africa & England played last week.)

    Volvo have become our shorts sponsor this year increasing their sponsorship. However to gain a major sponsor like Mars would be a great coup. Go Cam get them.

    Maybe they could create a Demon Bar.

    What would Hancook & Kaspersky make of it with the current arrangement in place if Mars was pursued by CS ?

    Isn't the club obliged to honour the current arrangement of terms with the current sponsors ?

    Alternatively, Casey Fields could be re-named MARS Oval... :huh: No, No scrap that.

    MCG - Mars Cricket Ground.... :blink: No, delete that one...

    I'm sure other clubs will be circling.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
