if people coming from interstate to watch their team play melbourne doesnt bring money to club and city/state then fair play there is no money in it!

There's scope for a partnership promoting Melbourne and AFL as a reason to come to Melbourne, for international tourists.

A little backpacker program, some junkety stuff using corporate boxes for entertainment.

Not a big program at all, but it's something that could happen. One of the little ways being 'Melbourne' can be put to work in our favour.

It makes no commercial sense.

It does make commercial sense, one just has to think slightly outside the square.

Whether it is a victorian Govt situation or the Melbourne city Council, we the MFC share the name of our city and thus in years to come should take full advantage of that. B)

Cheer up RR The best way for our club to gain on Profile TV, attendances and success is to go out their and promote awareness.

I would love to see an MFC presence at the Airport as i walked off a plane. "Welcome to Melbourne" next to a shot of Liam Jurrah taking a one hander.

At the moment we don't represent our city even in an emotional way, but i believe we should-as Norm Smith said "I am Melbourne"

So whats in it for the City of Melbourne?

Some of the one sided sponsorship suggestions on this site that actually little or no benefit to the actual sponsor but all to the benefit of the Club are naive.
