I would have thought this week would have been ideal timing. We are playing Collingwood on Saturday night with TV coverage only 4 or 5 games are covered this week, followed by Hawthorn. If a sponser wanted to get exposure this would be the week to kick it off.

Aaah Conflusios say!

Hoo da fluk ar Corringwood and a Horforn.

Ah supot da Dwagons.

I was on an Emirates 777 last night, they must have the narrowest asile's of any aircraft I have been on.

And I should know I spend hours chasing my Grand daughter up and down.

It essentially comes down to the carrier.

Boeing regards the typical cabin layout as 9 abreast seating (3-3-3 formation or 2-5-2 formation) in economy class for the 777 family but many carriers like to cram 'em in with 10 (3-4-3 formation) - including Emirates.

This is where I seem to disagree with most who are posting on here. I do not think it is impatient to expect to have a FOJ sponsor on board for the start of competitive games.

I think every other club in the league has one, we do not, and it is poor management by the club to be heading into March without it. I do not know a professional team in any code in the land that has had to start a year playing competitive televised games without a sponsor on the prime position of the uniform.

It could be we are trying to pull of a major chinese sponsor and its worth waiting to get a foot in a market like that. This will have fans like you scratching your head at what to hate today

I think it's good kharma to have Jimmas foundation on the front .Forget professionalism off the field .We have excelled in that dept .

If we win games

They Will Come .

Correct and I think the seats are narrower as well.

Cam Schwab said it would be settled before the commencement of the season.

I guess that means up to 3 more weeks of sweating beads for those on tender hooks.

The Demon Shop told me that Cam is waiting for this thread to hit one thousand posts before any announcement will be made.

March 1 2012 could be a very signifigant day in the Quest for the 13th Flag & Beyond.

I have just arrived at the mfc offices for a market research session and while sitting in an empty waiting area who should be walking out but one cam schwab. Do you think I had the aggots to ask when an announcement would be made? No. Hutchy I am not. He looked relaxed though and pleased to see him at it after 7pm

I got a call today asking me if I would like to participate in one of those next Monday evening but politely declined, would be good if you would share a bit about it when you finish I might reconsider if it's worthwhile.

Must have been that highly unprofessional exhibition game that we played in China that helped seal the deal .

Thank god we didn't waste money trying to keep little ignorant bogans from the obesity belt of the outer east at our club .

Great news again -love it . Just hope we can get a few free flights to Perth out of them as well .Could save us big bucks .

As it is with avatars, my mind went directly to James Van Der Beek being at the club.

And it made me sad.

it was great, got to talk about how much i loved the Demons for two hours and got a $100 coles myer voucher for my troubles!

was nice to meet you demonoid - and to sit around the MFC boardroom table and imagine that I was calling the shots B)

It was a bit of fun. Mainly just talking about why we were members and what it means. Talking about footy for two hours which comes easy for me. Would have done it for free but a Coles Myer gift card didn't suck. 7 other crazy dees fans to banter with. If you have the time it's not the worst thing you could do. A good experience to sit in the club board room and just imagine some of the discussions that would have taken place in there.

Cheapest flight from Auckland!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
