The New Sponsors

Recommended Posts

Bank of Queensland Logo's will not appear on our Jumper....it won't happen.

They may be a small sponssor if we have a Board Connection, but they won't be a major sponsor....Melbourne is not their territory.

There are about 4 branches in the whole city...(i know this cause i had to locate one about 3 years ago...took me bloody ages to find!!!) yes it was before GPS.

Its not going to happen, but just wanna point out there are about 25 branches in Victoria, with close to 10 being in the city or what is considered "inner city".

Expansion is a wonderful thing.

BoQ I don't think can be our major sponsor as it would upset too many Queenslanders if they were sponsoring Melbourne rather than Lions or GC. I could see them being a minor sponsor. Bad luck I think that one of our Directors is the boss of an interstate named and based bank. I know they have branches here but most are in Queensland. Stuart may even resign from our Board if he is now based in Queensland. Don't think I am misreading this, but maybe I am.

I'm almost certain Stuart has been based in Sydney for most of his time as a director anyway. It is not uncommon for directors to be based elsewhere as they generally meet infrequently.

I would have thought the perception of a conflict of interest makes BoQ a certainty not to be a sponsor (Not that I ever thought they would be). When you are responsible for someone else's money, you don't go about sponsoring your own club.

Unless you are in the recycled paper game...

It's a tough business.

There ain't no virgins in recycled paper...

Unless I've misunderstood what rpfc was saying, I think my comment still stands. The recycled paper business was owned and operated by one person. His money to recycle as he saw fit.

Is VISY public?

If it is I stand by my comment.

If it is not, I will...not.

I'm pretty sure you can as long as the connection is known to the other board members

Yes - privately owned, by the Pratt family. Started up by Richard Pratt's late father.

It could be a total co-incidence but in the past couple of days I've acquired a new follower to my twitter account and that person is Chinese and writes in some form of Chinese language.

Caro blots her copybook by repeating the fiction that Tom Scully left the club's China tour in October 2010 because some Melbourne players allegedly "turned the tour into an alcohol-fuelled series of late nights".

We now know the real reasons why Scully left the tour and according to my source, who was on the tour (and stayed on it and thoroughly enjoyed the experience), the alcohol issues emanated primarily from members of the other club involved in the tour of which one Brendan Fevola was then a member.

At least Scully should be happy having now joined a monastery in Bleaktown, NSW.

I wonder why we simply don't set the record straight.

Because we don't have to, China had nothing to do with him leaving and we have moved on. Let the media focus remain on him, which he couldn't handle last year, and we go about improving what we have.

China is an interesting one, no doubt it would be a great place to strike up all sorts of business deals, it is one of the few countries with money in the bank and is the backbone of the Australian ecomony.

The Age is hinting that we might have found a Chinese sponsor.

Chinese whispers may land Demons sponsor

Schwab spent five days in China in talks with companies looking for exposure in the Australian market and said: ''I'm hopeful a number of relationships will come out of it.''

Doesn't say much though:

That comment says to me that they are still looking for a second sponsor and that we are not cl;ose to getting one from there. Perhaps the China Southern Airlines deal fell through.

Or maybe weve already got one. Possibly a company might want to time any announcements to coincide with any marketing launch of its own..

Who knows..lol

Maybe CS is working on his reply to abusive supporters when he says "x" company has come on board for $1.3m per year for the next 3 years...

Kaspersky will stay on as a sponsor, just not as joint major sponsor. Which still leaves the front of our jumper up for grabs. Why not just go back to BoM and see if they're still interested? Given what we have gone through recently, it would generate a lot of good press for us if we were able to announce our new coach, sponsor and possible mini-draft player al within a couple of weeks. It would give us some real momentum going into the pre-season and the season proper.

Please confirm if Kaspersky will be staying on as sponsor?

You never know WJ what this Chinese person is on about - he may even want to add to your notification of Viagra being our shorts sponsor.The person may want to seek sponsorship for the back of the shorts? One will never know - or be surprised.

I checked the profile and from the picture it's a she.

... and she can sponsor the back of my shorts any day of the week :lol:

I could get into trouble for this but ...

述教。也是今天想到的新词儿,虽然以前实际做过,但那时没想到这个词儿。这学期的课讲得有比以前好的地方,体系更完整、逻辑框架也更清晰了一些,也有比以 前不足的地方,遇到问题时影响了讲课效果,有很多想法也没有很好实施,所以给自己这学期的教学打80。半年后再讲课,应该会更好?:)

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
