The New Sponsors

Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
