The issue would be the positioning

Can't see any difference between Melbourne's Hankook logo and any other jumper e.g. Emirates at Collingwood, Vodaphone at Power, Ford at Geelong or Camry at the Crows. If anything the Hankook logo stands out more.

Mercedez Benz, if true would have some flow on effect, ie. we wouldn't be able to retain Volvo as a lower level sponsor.

And aren't they on our shorts?

That deal would have to finish this season in that case.

I doubt it's correct.

Maurie I was just going to suggest the same comparison to what must be the most marketable jumper in teh league....Collingwood's ( sigh) .. Emirates is positioned like Hankook...just below the clubs emblem..

Its a furphy for sure.

Is it?

Or is it the actual point of contention, and DLR just a stubborn bastard who got some bad advice..?

We don't know.

Hancook is a Big Logo. To move it higher would compromise our Jumper design.... The Emblem sits over the heart. That is what i am guessing anyway.

Only the dealmakers would know..

Actually, I'm not so sure the jumper wouldn't look better if both the AFL and sponsor logos were moved higher on the jumper. That way, those logos wouldn't detract so much from the "V" shape. Then, the club emblem could be placed at the bottom of the "V".

Thoughts?

Really? Seemed like just late last year that they were announced as shorts sponsor.

How time flies.

The good news, however, is that a supposed sponsor willing to give $1.9m/year on either the front or the back, with the other side still up for sponsorship, which already has a few companies keen (going by the article).

Get some signatures quickly before the queue jumpers get active. The scum beat us to Mars and b'dogs stole Mission from our grasp.

Already did have a look. You're right BB.

And I don't find it strange - MFC have had an inordinate amount of media coverage this season.

It's been ridiculous. We've had more than Collingwood.

For any emerging brand wanting to get their name out in the marketplace, we'd be the prime candidate.

It might be due to Scully & Bailey's sacking/inner turmoil, but the sheer volume of press we've had should get us a good deal.

I didn't realise it'd be $1.9mil/year good, though.

Pure guesswork here.. but am thinking the new sponsor might actually be secured.. but with all the rumpus this week they might have defered announcing to next.

well, one hope s!!

Hopefully the news is good and a new major sponsor which is not a betting business has been landed.

The concern is however that loyal and long term sponsors have been unhappy.

MFC has a long history of over promising and underdelivering for sponsors, sometimes not anyones fault but in some cases have burnt off the incumbant. Previously LG and BMW left unhappily.

MFC is not only sporting club to experience this but is disappointing it can not find a major sponsor or 2 who last long term on the basis of sustained mutual benefit to both parties.

Timing of change of major sponsors right now not ideal either!

MFC could hardly be accused of under delivering !! Kaspersky are on record stating they can attribute their emergence as a brand here directly to their MFC sponsorship. No one outside of IT knoew of them here til they appeared on our jumper.

It is poor that we are losing a long standing sponsor. And there is more to it than meets the eye as usual. Sponsors are treated very poorly.

Schwab spends all his time sniffing linament instead of schmoozing sponsors and their clients. I have seen him on match days doing everything but making sponsors and their clients have a special day. LIke ot or not, its one of his main jobs. But he is more interested in running the footy dept.

im thinking that often emerging brands pick such beings as football jumpers to sponsor. M-Benz isnt such a beast. However one of the new Chinese car brands might just be such a beast.

Youve also got emerging retailers such as the new Bunnings Competitor , Masters.

So, you mean to tell me that if it is a betting agency that you would prefer us not to take the $1.9m? Even if it meant being able to throw a considerable amount at Scully and Malthouse? Sorry, regardless of social/personal impacts on gambling, we all have to accept that it is a part of life, and if they are willing to slip us a cool $1.9m, I'm happy to shake their hands when handing over the cheque. It will be nice to know that I will be donating to the Club in more ways than one!

B59, we will never get the Benz with the speed of our current rising from the bottom.

Yeah. I am guessing that Hankook has been supporting the club in one capacity or another for a decade or more. Not the major jumper sponsor but certainly as a minor sponsor and benefactor of the club.

It's not right that the club P$$$es all over these critical supporters. Hankook aren't the only sponsor I know of who have been totally disillusioned with the club's treatment of them.

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
