I think you're missing my point.

I'm not sure why I have to explain my post either. I agreed with you (fair enough). And I agree that we shouldn't forget those in the past that contributed along the way, including tough times. I just thought it was an opportune time to reflect on the contributions of others given this thread topic is about sponsorship deals/

Your concern is noted.

Fair enough ?

How do you know the club's administration is at fault here?

As a club you honour the contract and try to accommodate the sponsor... to a point.

I know de la Rue is a longtime supporter of the club, but surely there are 2 sides involved in this.

If they are making demands over the placement of their logo that are unreasonable, I'm not sure the club is at fault.

For a start, the shape and size of the logo is awkward for a football jumper with a yoke like ours.

Not a good start.

Judging by what has occurred over the last week it is hard to believe they aren't at fault.

As i said this is my opinion and obviously not yours; I respect your right to your opinion.

Given the antagonistic nature of this board and my defensive nature, I assumed you were just another in the line wanting to have a crack at me. My mistake. (I think)

It does worry me, but I'm also aware that at this stage it's very easy to say that a party is in dispute with the club's admin, therefore the admin must be at fault.

I doubt De La Rue would be making wild demands, as he seems to care about the club first and foremost.

I imagine he was merely trying to get what he feels is an equitable return on his investment. Whether his judgment of equitable is correct or not, is not known.

I just think, like I do on most topics involving the club, that we don't really have enough information to crucify either party.

Although, I am concerned that there seems to be trend emerging.

Still, $1.9mil per year for the front is a bloody good improvement.

That has to count for something.

Position of the logo....read it again.

Thats some sort of red herrig surely to possibly another reason. Quite a few clubs have emblems onb jumpers. Its hardly a deal breeaker. The HANKOOK logo is very very prominent and hardly to be diluted by teh MFC above it..

Agreed, a red herring

The hankook logo on the jumper is one of the most prominent and visible in the AFL

must be other issues???

The issue would be the positioning, as the logo sits too low and would be cut off when photos of players are cropped for the newspapers, or on tv.

It's not a major issue to you or I, but if I was De La Rue and looking for maximum exposure for my $, I wouldn't be happy about the logo being shifted further down for an emblem that wasn't a consideration when I signed on.

I think that's a significant point of contention, but I side with the club on this.

There would have to be another issue - but Laurie can be a stubborn p...k.

Those quotes suggest he has had a chat to a consultant and taken it to heart. The Hankook logo is this huge white thing - people see it...

Maybe he was priced out of the market - he was a reluctant sponsor to begin with - helping us out when no-one else would.

Quilton toilet paper (soft and sh1tty)?

Donald Trump (You're Fired!)?

I not sure he was a reluctant sponser when he put his money where his mouth was.

At present we don't need enemies we are doing a great job of tearing our selves apart.

While the reported figure appears great (and surprising), our inability to retain Kaspersky or Hankook beyond their first deals is concerning. This is especially so for Kaspersky as they are actively expanding sports sponsorship in Australia (see Manly Sea Eagles).

Agree - but stakeholder engagement is not a strong suit of the MFC.

Yep Cropping is a major issue with presentation in media.

Sure there maybe other issues but the logo position is paramount.

For example..F1 helmet space and racing suit space is worth a small fortune as is the car. It is all sold on position.

Is this it ?

BB59, I have removed it for the time being in accordance with the owner of this site and with respect to the club announcement.

I'm not even sure what this is you've posted or if it is indeed it.

Its not like the Hankook logo is banished to the socks or such...its as big as day and in your face.. The positioning argument inthis instance is hooey!!

A convenience of exit..and if so..fair enough.. Thanks for your support...and bye !!!

You are not thinking of the cropping of a newspaper shot BB. The lower the logo the further from the head...so it gets chopped in half or missed.

It is not Hooey i assure you when companies are paying.

mate... im fully aware of such things.. and the reality is the logo has dropped by about2- 3 cm only in position...its a non argument. TheMFC emblem sits high on the chest. Hardly influencing the Hankook. just look at comparitive images.

    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.
