Measured response from you Tapscott Tough. You seem to have good insight into where we are going. I admire your positive take on this and hopefully your long term vision will eventuate. The thought of Wind turbine technology is exciting and one to be keenly pursued for the long term, by our ever alert sponsor chasers. Go get em Schwabby and co...................even for next year !

With forsight and vision similar to this we could gazump other sporting organizations for this potential sponsorship moolah.

Hopefully the club will also think outside the square to attack with frenzy, any possible corpoarate dollars that we can get our collective hands on.

Hope Tappy will give you and I many years of tough footy. ( He He He! Guess who!)

    All this talk about "No Sponsorship".

    This is a "Marketers Dream"

    Imagine the impact it's going to have when the Sponsor is finally announced.

    What is the saying?

    No such thing as Bad Publicity

    We could win the flag this year and some people would still be complaining we played round 1 NAB Cup without a sponsor

    FMD - to call this "....a low point" for the club

    You have to be kidding

    Come round - no sponsor - sure, have a crack - but the season hasn't even begun

    To be honest I'm more interested in seeing how our PLAYERS actually PLAY and let others worry about sponsorship

    Fact - with Energy Watch - we are $300k p/a ahead of last year from out FOJ and BOJ sponsors

    Clearly the club is waiting for the right deal and not jumping at shadows like some of you

    I'm sure Schwab could've signed 10 sponsors by now if he was as nervy as some people - clearly he has something bigger in mind

    While we are $300k ahead of last year, according to some, that will mean bugger all as the 2 sponsors last year got bargain prices...

    Probably cause the deals were rushed - which no doubt some complained about

    V12 - Might be best to read the pending announcement in the paper when it is published. If you rely on D'land forum to hear about the sponsorship details, and it isn't above $1.9m a season, there will be some angry people on here.

    I can't believe most people on here are happy with the current situation.This is a massive issue, but some here seem to think it is a good thing.

    Are those of you that think it is not a problem that the Club do not have a FOJ sponsor also the ones that were happy with Bailey last year, and new Tom Scully was staying?

    I think you have made your point Thomo....I suggest you ring our CEO Cameron Schwab and have a chat with him....eyeball to eyeball...otherwise give it a rest....

    For the last time...Dealing with Asians takes time...they do not rush with the "Ferang" sorry that is Thai but the same culture difference.

    If this deal comes off it could set us up for a decade or more...

    I'm not happy with it at all Thomo. It was my concern way back when, in regards to our asking price, or at least the asking price of some posters, and what what we are potentially losing by having too higher price tag. I'm not saying we should look all desperado and accept $500k a year, but I had major concerns that if we think that $1.9m+ a season is what it's worth and we SHOULD NOT sell for anything less, we could get to this stage where we don't have anyone.

    As a number of people have said, there are still 5 weeks to go, but I'm getting edgy. Have we knocked back a $1m a season deal because we wont more? I don't know, but it's not far away where that sort of deal would be more than sufficient.

    While we don't have millions of supporters, the fact that you can't buy a kid a footy jumper is very disappointing. We might not be losing out on heaps of revenue from those sort of sales, it is still a bit frustrating. But, I have said since day 1, in Cam I trust.

    I know you are upset over the fact that you can't get in early for your 2012 footy jumper, but don't you think you are going a little over the top?...particularly considering you have absolutely no idea as to where the club is at in terms of securing a sponsor...a lot can happen in 5 weeks.

    take a deep breath thomo I am wrapped we have Reach on the jumper it shows respect to a legend and a bloody good charity and if schwab says we are in discussions I believe him. We are not the Labor party so we should believe what the administration says

    I can't believe that some on this thread are excited about having a charity on the jumper instead of a sponsor, some are sure that we have a sponsor already, while others are wondering what sort of discount that they can get from a nonexistent sponsor. I know there is glass half full, but some are just delusional.

    Melbourne is heading into the season without a FOJ sponsor. Nothing to be happy about in this thread.

    FFS Thomo.

    Instead of wasting your time venting your pent up frustration on this site.

    Do something that really matters.

    Put your money where your big mouth is.

    If you can do any better than what the people at MFC are trying to do, then I will back you all the way.

    But as far as I'm concerned you are just pissing into the wind.

    Steped into a elevator this morning. Had just bought my son his first pair of footy boots. He was wearing his Melbourne jumper.

    Inside the elevator this complete stranger said to me,

    "Melbourne eh, I herd China Airways are going to be your new sponsor this year."

    Door opened and he left.

    Take that of what you will but that really happened. Cant say if its true or not.

    Sorry if this has been spoken of before.

    What is Energy Watch sponsorship wise??? I thought that they took over from the Hankook/Kaspersky sponsorship. My mail is that Energy Watch are paying us a lot more than Hankook/Kaspersky did per season.

    If we can land China Airlines it will show a certain Eddie moron that we can play with the big boys.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
