It ought to be Metro...about as consitent with their trains as we are with our footy !!

Got a sneaky feeling it just may be an electricity company. Watch this space

I'm concerned that Lawrie De La Rue may be lost to the club as they appear to be talking through Lawyers and they have ceased direct communications.

There are always reasons why companies cease sponsorship; it may be lack of funds, change of direction or simply the company ceases to operate, so i'm fully aware that you need to revisit this all I'm concerned with is the animosity that has arisen out of this sponsorship.

I think this is a fair call.

I have a feeling he has withdrawn sponsorship before in a funk in the 80s or 90s

Certainly the reasons advanced sound more convenient rather than serious grounds to terminate a sponsorship. There is no doubt that the White with Black Font Hankook Logo stands out on our jumper more than most in the League.

But I guess it is all Cameron Schwab's fault!

Is it preposterous to suggest that a brand which has just been re-established and uses the name 'Melbourne' in its title might see synergistic value worth pursuing?

So, Bank of Melbourne, come on down!

And if I'm wrong, it doesn't stop MFC still pursuing Bank of Melbourne for sponsorship. There's always room for more.

They should try and get that demon energy drink on board. Nice fit

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.

Why do you make statements about things you don't know about? Do you work at the club and know what Schwab gets up to?

Nice one, mate. Can't you read?

I said I have seen him. And on more than one occasion.

Not a bad call. I read that they are targeting 30 something year old women from the eastern suburbs, perfect fit. Would there be a conflict seeing as the parent company in Westpac sponsor the filth?

What did you sit behind him at the footy?

Were you standing in the corner at a function watching him?

Does he even know you are?

You based your last character assassination of him on a hunch.

If you could provide some detail on how you know these things I'd be more inclined to take them on board.

I understand the New sponsor is Bank Of Melbourne and apparently Schwaby is responsible for negiotating with them the $ value is huge if correct he should be congratulated for this we need all the positive News at the Moment apparently Tom Scully was to be part of the Deal

Now this maybe the start of Better things along with Vineys performance last Saturday lets hope so

At least our blokes would get to the ball

A friend of mine is a social media coordinator, worked alongside Westpac Group in the relaunch of Bank Of Melbourne. Wouldn't be straight up, but wouldn't deny that the bank will be major sponsor of the club next year.

Stay tuned.
