Only one flaw in the above wyl even the struggling ones buy new planes e.g American

Interesting to see if they are buying "American" planes. I have been zooting around China since 1986 and it always amused when sitting on the old 737's people in the seat next to me would say they felt safe because they were on Boeing rather than fly on Russian or locally produced planes. The Boeing 737's for China are made in a factory outside Shanghai in a JV with Boeing.

So true. The "Cheaper" Sony gear is made in korea and China. The "Top End" gear was made in Japan.

Bit quiet Thomo. Can't you hear those jet engines firing up?

?????????????????

We still don't have a sponsor. The airline deal is a rumour that started on this site.

Hopefully the club picks up a sponsor and it is a big one, but at this stage Melbourne are playing a competitive game on the weekend without the FOJ sponsor. I cannot remember a club in my life time that has been in this situation.

If I remember correctly, Richmond last year didn't sign Jeep as their FOJ sponsor until just before the season started. Port also are chasing a major sponsor.

Bank of Melbourne still looks a chance as I haven' t heard that they have taken on another major sponsor. I heard we have lost Volvo as well,therefore a car sponsor could be a chance. But I feel we should be trying to get a sponsor such as China Air.Or a large Chinese company or a government agency

This appears to be where the Chinese airline deal stems from. Newspaper and TV journalists and callers to talkback often get there info from internet sites, so it would not surprise me if it was the case in this instance.

If indeed there is a deal with a Chinese airline, JCB needs to let me know what the lotto numbers are.

I'm happy to be on Team Thomo here. Fantastic Port also don't have a FOJ sponsor that's puts us in elite company. I'm sure their CEO is saying the same thing-

"Currently we have numerous companies knocking down our door to be the major sponsor of Port Adelaide Football Club. We're very close to a deal it's just hard because there's so many interested parties".

There is a reason Port and us are last and it is because we have the stigma of being the least professional and least desirable and the longer we wait for this years deal the more we're keeping up this stigma for future years and deals.

We're doing an amazing amount of right things on and off the field, but the 2012 Team picture displayed all year without a sponsor on the breast will be an avid reminder of how far we still have to go to be where we as supporters think we are.

Port Adelaide are an ugly club to call company, agreed. It's frustrating, that is the fact we haven't got a FOJ yet. But it seems it's going to go either one of two ways.

a.) We've been in negotiations with a major company, currently finalising the last details of what is going to be a prosperous and long-term relationship. Happy Days.

or

b.) We simply can't find a date for the dance. We're desperate and looking for a sponsor akin to Hankook. (No disrespect to Hankook intended) A sponsor though, that is going to cough up an adequate amount of $$.

I think it is the waiting that is causing unrest. Bit of an understatement I know, but whoever we gets on board is seriously going to reflect on where we are heading as a club.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
