    We are in discussion with the major sponsor it will happen by rd 1, to suggest this is a 'low-point' is an exaggeration of the highest order. We just signed our bigeest sponsorship deal in our history and one of the biggest in the league. Pull your head in.

    that's the exact kind of mediocrity that this football club has accepted for too long. we've done something good so we can now rest easy.

    fact is it's the eve of the season. we don't have a sponsor for the front.

    Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser. To say we don't have one is pure speculation... for all any of us know, negotiations may be well advanced and a signing could be iminent...as has been said numerous tmes, there are still 5 weeks until the season starts.

    What?????????

    "Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser. To say we don't have one is pure speculation"

    There is no sponser on the front of the jumper, that is fact, not speculation. Some of the crap that people write on this site is just plain stupid.

    If people continue to write crap, I will point it out. To say that not having a FOJ sponsor is just speculation is one of the strangest and stupid comments I have read on the internet, and I look at some seriously disturbing sites.

    Sorry Thomo, but I can't be held responsible for your inability to comprehend the nuances of the English language. Just because there is no sponsor name appearing on the FOJ it does not mean that a deal is all but signed, sealed and delivered. As posted above, according to CC, we all but have a Chinese sponsor sewn up.

    We have no sponsor on the front of the jumper, but you think we have one. You are either trolling, delusional or stupid.

    Sorry Thomo, but I would consider you to be the only troll in this neighbourhood. Are you seriously telling me that you cannot comprehend the fact that it is possible to have a sponsorship agreement virtually in place yet at the same time be unable to place it on the FOJ until the completion of formalities that make it official?

    And while we are on the subject of comprehension, perhaps you could tell me where I have said I think we have a sponsor? I did say "Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser" and I did say it is speculation to say we don't have one (which equally applies to saying we do have one, by the way) - and it will obviously remain speculation until the club makes an official statement.

    I am simply of the opinion that you are getting worked up over nothing and that with 5 weeks until the season kick-off, it is hardly worth the pain you seem to be putting yourself through.

    In actual fact Thommo we do have a sponsor for the FOJ.

    Reach, was quite plain to see despite the rain. Doesn't matter if they pay us the minimum amount, a sponsor is a sponsor.

    And does it really matter if we have a sponsor or not?

    If you look back at the jumpers from the premiership decade you will notice that the FOJ is bare as well.

    The general consensus is that a paying sponsor is on the way so relax and revisit this thread in a months time.

  • Quote

    People relax seriously - an FOJ sponsor right now would be lovely, however it is a reasonably small part of the equation. I can't recall what our turnover was last year someone may be able to do that but at a guess it would have been around 30 - 40 mill, if we want to play with the big boys around 70 odd for Collingwood. Yes every bit helps but we ain't going to go under while waiting for the right deal to transpire, it will happen when it happens. A deal that at the absolute most equates to less than 5% of our turnover can take as long as needed to get a deal done

    Why has this topic now been pinned?

  • Quote

    Two reasons I'd say.

    1. People keep posting sponsor questions unaware a lengthy discussion is in progress.

    2. Five and a half months without an answer deserves some visibility.

    Really? How exactly do you explain Geelong having had Ford the whole time they were rubbish and hadn't won a flag for 40+ years?

    Whichever way you like to paint it, Geelong had retained Ford because of Ford being located there.

    Nothing more.

    The Ford example did make me laugh. I can't understand why the town of Bundaberg gets such good sponsorship from a rum company.

  • Quote

    Just for reference sake - if we have a good relationship with "China" then the sponsorship may be a Chinese Airline but not "China Airlines". China Airlines is the national airline of Taiwan.

    • 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?

    • 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.
