You have got to be joking cameron has done a great job in my view since being at the club again. ENERGY WATCH IS A GOOD START.

THOMO are you Carro wilson from the age?

 

C'mon Schwabby pull off a huge deal that puts us right up there in AFL standings. Don't lose it now...


I just can't believe that someone, knowingly, wrote nonsense on Twitter.

It has to be true.

I saw this tweet this morning:

. @melbournefc to announce China Southwest Airlines as jumper sponsor today according to MMM.

from @givemethecure

https://twitter.com/#!/givemethecure

6 hours ago.

Not saying it's true just letting people know what I saw.

It all started from Eddie on MMM this morning. He said we were about to announce a Chinese airline as our joint major sponsor. I can't find any link to a podcast sorry.

Not joking, you cannot base your faith in his ability to land a big sponsor on history.

He struggled to land a major sponsor last time, and got lucky at the last minute thanks to a couple of fans, and could not hold onto the sponsors longer than the initial contract.

EnergyWatch also sponsor the Victory and the Rebels, seems like they targeted Melbourne clubs, so it would be interesting to know how much was Schwabs work and how much was Energy Watch approaching the club.

Now the club is about to start the year without a sponsor on the front. Schwab has a very poor record with major sponsors at this club. Hopefully he lands one soon, but history does not provide any proof that we should have faith in Schwab. He has many strengths, this is not one of them.

Heads should be rolling at the club over this.

Whose heads? Other than Schwab? Poulakakis? Should it extend to our, oh-so-connected board who have really put the 'dis' in 'disconnect' in the past year?

It's not just Schwab failing and flailing.

from the sounds of things the deal is almost done if not already and this potential sponsor has been mentioned in this thread for sometime, so i am quite confident that we will have a foj sponsor well before round one. The richest couple of deals in the clubs history will certianly make up for the lost revenue in jumper sales to this point.

maybe heads are not rolling because cam has a major sponsor. That we will see very soon? And also cam had alot to do with energy watch if you listen to the interview. The owner said he did not follow melbourne but the melbourne football club business model made him want to be apart of our club so i would say that has alot to do with cam he is the ceo. going on current form he is flying check mate.

I'm not sure who's head, I didn't say Schwab's, it might be his or someone elses', but whoever has responsibilty for this has so far failed.

Actually the EW bloke said our 'oh-so-connected' board was the driving reason he wanted to sponsor the club.

It's an interesting argument to have and there is fodder for both sides.

On one hand we already have more sponsor money than we did last season, on the other hand we are nearly into March and we have a naked left breast...

check mate means you attack the MFC CEO with no idea whats going on. You say he had nothing to do with energy watch when clearly you had no idea. 6million for the BOJ is not bad is it? And i would think if we had nothing on the go for the FOJ carro wilson would be all over it. Cam would be working as hard as he can to get the best for our club.

 

There is talk about a chinese airline deal all over the net today....it won't be long now i feel.

Relax a little Thomo...sometimes the good deals take longer.

  • 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
