I would have thought this week would have been ideal timing. We are playing Collingwood on Saturday night with TV coverage only 4 or 5 games are covered this week, followed by Hawthorn. If a sponser wanted to get exposure this would be the week to kick it off.

Aaah Conflusios say!

Hoo da fluk ar Corringwood and a Horforn.

Ah supot da Dwagons.

    I was on an Emirates 777 last night, they must have the narrowest asile's of any aircraft I have been on.

    And I should know I spend hours chasing my Grand daughter up and down.

    It essentially comes down to the carrier.

    Boeing regards the typical cabin layout as 9 abreast seating (3-3-3 formation or 2-5-2 formation) in economy class for the 777 family but many carriers like to cram 'em in with 10 (3-4-3 formation) - including Emirates.

    This is where I seem to disagree with most who are posting on here. I do not think it is impatient to expect to have a FOJ sponsor on board for the start of competitive games.

    I think every other club in the league has one, we do not, and it is poor management by the club to be heading into March without it. I do not know a professional team in any code in the land that has had to start a year playing competitive televised games without a sponsor on the prime position of the uniform.

    It could be we are trying to pull of a major chinese sponsor and its worth waiting to get a foot in a market like that. This will have fans like you scratching your head at what to hate today

    Correct and I think the seats are narrower as well.

    Cam Schwab said it would be settled before the commencement of the season.

    I guess that means up to 3 more weeks of sweating beads for those on tender hooks.

    The Demon Shop told me that Cam is waiting for this thread to hit one thousand posts before any announcement will be made.

Do you think I had the aggots to ask when an announcement would be made? No. Hutchy I am not. He looked relaxed though and pleased to see him at it after 7pm

    I got a call today asking me if I would like to participate in one of those next Monday evening but politely declined, would be good if you would share a bit about it when you finish I might reconsider if it's worthwhile.

    Must have been that highly unprofessional exhibition game that we played in China that helped seal the deal .

    Thank god we didn't waste money trying to keep little ignorant bogans from the obesity belt of the outer east at our club .

    Great news again -love it . Just hope we can get a few free flights to Perth out of them as well .Could save us big bucks .

    As it is with avatars, my mind went directly to James Van Der Beek being at the club.

    And it made me sad.

    it was great, got to talk about how much i loved the Demons for two hours and got a $100 coles myer voucher for my troubles!

    was nice to meet you demonoid - and to sit around the MFC boardroom table and imagine that I was calling the shots B)

    It was a bit of fun. Mainly just talking about why we were members and what it means. Talking about footy for two hours which comes easy for me. Would have done it for free but a Coles Myer gift card didn't suck. 7 other crazy dees fans to banter with. If you have the time it's not the worst thing you could do. A good experience to sit in the club board room and just imagine some of the discussions that would have taken place in there.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
