Perhaps they could become our new apparell manufacturer. It would be a bold move, but not unprecedented

edit. Few years back St Kilda had Piping Hot manufacturing their jumpers. Not the greatest stuff, but Quiksilver are miles ahead of Piping Hot.

Just a thought.

Couldn't be worse, what we have now is a disgrace. At the bear minimum they should be able to do the jumpers red and blue.

    I will get excited when actual news is heard.

    I don't mean to sound negative but I would like to hear something.

    the board may not have even thought about it and this thread has given them the best idea ever.

    You seriously think that the board and management will wait and rely on a fan to come to the rescue.....................

    Was just having a joke thomo. I don't believe a fan will come to the rescue. What wouldn't be a joke is if the club did not already have something nearly signed

    Year of the Dragon Tomorrow

    Surely Year of sponsorship must follow.

    Chinas' Sharemarket starting to climb.

    It must me all those orders for Melbourne Apparrel being lodged.

    I just hope we get it done soon. The state of European economies gets worse each day. It will effect all business to some degree.

  • Quote

    You may be correct but I'd be surprised If It was announced while the tennis was still on. Footy clubs put a lot of thought into when announcements are made so they get maximum exposure.

  • Quote

    If Chinese can't be done until after new year cleaning out the old year then bringing in the new.

    my prediction for today was wrong.

    Oh well.

    Maybe for the family day, just how long can they leave this up in the air?

  • Quote

    Is all this China stuff a waste of time. Maybe the guys didn't get a deal done over there???/ This is outrageous!

    maybe Schwaby is getting all nostalgic again regarding the Jumper; bring back the collar, dark blue & blood red, and no sponsor!

    Maybe they are jusy waiting for the tennis to finish Deelirious. But then when that finishes, we have a small window until the Terra Australis Great Southern Land Mountain Bike Epic being held between Feb 5 - Feb 11 which will draw the attention of AFL followers all around Australia. As soon as that's finished we have a couple of days until Valentine's Day, so perhaps we could have a campaign where Neeld and Craig are out for a candle-lit dinner and are being waited on by staff of <<insert new sponsor>>. If we miss that massive marketing opportunity, we will be right in the middle of the Sustainable Living Festival at Federation Square, so we will have to wait for that to conclude, which is actually the 26th Feb, the day after our 1st NAB Cup round.

    It appears to me that for the next 6-8 weeks, there is no "right time" to announce this new sponsor, so all pre-purchased jumpers will not be sent until such announcement.

    Am I being sarcastic? Abso-bloody-lutely. People still think that the announcement of the new Melbourne sponsor is going to be the biggest news in the AFL and should have is own week of celebration. FFS people, there is 22k-odd members who will be interested, and however many other people that barrack for Melbourne. Outside that, noone gives a toss. If we have one signed up, put it on our website. Regardless of what other events are on, we will get just as much coverage in the media.

    FWIW, if any other team announces a sponsor, as a diehard opposition supporter, I will often not use that company out of spite. I've never owned a Ford car, never flown Emirates, have gone off eating Mars Bars and flying to Tasmania.

    Perhaps it's as simple as not being able to get someone to pay what we are asking.

    Yes i think the announcement window is the least of our worries. I was certainly hoping all would be stitched up by now. The situation in Europe is a concern. And maybe companies are baulking because of our previous efforts over the last few years? Who knows. As the season is yet to start i still have not hit the panic button, but it is getting closer.

    The Aussie $$$ is growing in value by the hour which may also be a sticking point.

    Haha love it.

    I refuse to use Spicer's Paper or Nubrick (not that I ever knew what they were), will only eat Hungry Jack's when I'm heavily intoxicated, will never buy a Camry, will not use QBE for insurance, can't travel to Malaysia now, am not a fan of TAC, refuse to use Mission tacos, wouldn't touch a Collingwood sponsor (Macca's, Nike or Puma, Lexus, Qantas etc etc) and I don't know if I'll buy a Toyota while Vlad is the big boss.

    I rang the Demon Shop regarding the arrival of the new Jumpers.

    I was told that they were expecting an announcement of the other Joint Sponsor within 2 weeks.

    Once that has been announced the sponsors LOGO for the front of the jumper must be approved by the AFL before the jumpers become available.

    They anticipate that to be 2 weeks after AFL approval.

    Adding up 2 +2 and I get 4 weeks from Monday when I rang.

    We may get them about the time of our first Intra Club practice game

    I have to agree with everyones anger and anxieties. Its getting late and why the club have not come out to say a sponsor is immenant is worrying.

    On a side note, how much do Toyota give to the AFL? Why do they sack 350 ppl yet give money elsewhere? Its wrong IMO!

    Funny you say that Chippy as I rang the MFC admin for an unrelated matter and thought while I have them on the phone I would ask about the sponsor. The reponse was far from positive, in that she said we are still looking and are hoping to have something prior to the season begining.

    Admittedly it was an admin officer & probably wouldnt know the in & outs of the sponsorship dealings, god knows Ive got no idea whats going on at my workplace but still if true its a bit of a worry.

    Will wait and see.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
