You're right, it's a bit cheesy, but still good to see Wattsy on the ad.

I'd have liked to see him on something similar to the new Bundaberg Rum 5 ad.....that would have been priceless!

Well done to the club...........a brilliant result!

And it's only for the back of the Jumper we still have the front to go yet.

i think we should thank Cameron Schwab for this, right guys.

There seems to be alot of back patting and hand shakes, going on over this deal.......This type of deal is what MFC should expect! Nothing less... :wacko:

And apparently the main person behind energy watch who agreed to this deal is a bulldogs supporter.

Bulldogs won't be happy about that, what is bulldogs main sponsor some sort of restuarant or something?

It's nice to get one back on them after mission-gate a few years back...

EnergyWatch had plans to sponsor an AFL Club to help establish our brand as a house hold name in 2010. I had been assessing the performances on and off the field of potential clubs. I believed the Melbourne Football Club presented the best opportunity for success in both areas. I was very impressed with the management and growth potential that the club offered.

Good to see how the MFC is perceived from a business sense!

Why didnt the MFC do a major press conference on the footy show or at the club??

It's great to have something positive to talk about in these generally less than positive times. Well done MFC .... keep the positives coming!

You'd think, given EnergyWatch can fork out 6mil for a footy club, that they could afford a slightly-less-cheesy advert for their company! That was cringeworthy stuff.

Happy happy happy with the sponsorship though.

That's advertising for you.

It doesn't need to be a work of art - it needs to leave an imprint in your mind.

Sometimes cheesy or tacky work the best.

Why does everyone remember Franco Cozzo, or Ken Bruce?

Great for increasing brand awareness of Jack Watts and MFC too.

I'm really happy with the result. Saturate the market.

I imagine a formal club presser before the current contract expires is probably poor form.

Not that it's really needed now.

As a total coincidence, I had a visit from Michael from Metro Solar yesterday arvo about signing up for Solar, after that I spoke with Energy Watch last night about changing electricity providers!!! Then I find out this morning that EW are our new sponsors! Luckily they are calling me back on Sunday so now I have to remember to ask for my free footy!!

There have been lots of positives debt demolition, new brand, new premises, new sponsors etc etc.Off field people have worked hard. The disappointment has simply been the underperforming football dept and a certain GWS issue that has been dogging us all year. Perhaps when they do next years plan they will have less peripheral stuff to worry about and can rip into the football dept and rebuild it and make it totally accountable from week one.

In view of the above could totally understand any CEO frustration at this years football dept.

Despite the on-field crisis overshadowing their reputation, I firmly believe that the MelbourneFC's business sector includes some of the cleverest individuals making up one of, if not the best administrative and marketing operations in the AFL.

Well done to everyone at the club who has made this happen. It is brilliant to see that, just maybe, the gap on FD spending for us might be narrowing instead of widening!

Let us enjoy it.

We just doubled the previous arrangement with Kaspersky.

Your emoticon would more befit your position if you think that doubling sponsorship deals is 'nothing less' than what we should expect...

I 100% agree with the positives Dockett, but the bottom line is that we are a football club, and on-field results are what it's all about, and ultimately what really determines success or failure. Like you, I'm very hopeful that our Football Dept. will now become the primary focus, and with Garry Lyon currently overseeing things, I have plenty of confidence that it will.

I can also totally understand any frustration on Shwabbies part. Many of us supporters share similar frustrations.

Someone had to say it but hopefully they will provide some much needed energy to an otherwise flatlining year!

That is a great get for our club, and an awesome boost to go into next year, well done!

Go Dees!

I believe they get a commission from the energy provider that a consumer changes to.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
