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    I have a feeling he has withdrawn sponsorship before in a funk in the 80s or 90s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

    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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
