The New Sponsors

Now that we've got a few words on the matter from Cameron Schwab, can this utterly pointless 24 page thread cease to exist?

I know we are all Harvard Business graduates with extensive expertise in sports sponsorship, but our input is still unnecessary.

Is he telling the truth though? Or is he just towing the company line?

But yes 24 pages of SFA!

No, he's lying about not having finalised a sponsor, because that makes so much sense.

And even if he is lying, his lies are more interesting than reading 24 pages of people going "OMG we are never going to get a sponsor, the club will go under, this is a complete mismanagement, it's crisis time. I blame Jack Watts".

You forgot to mention the contributing factors of Moloney, Jones & Morton

Read the Fin Review. It's tough out there. I would rather wait for a big solid sponsor myself, and as Cam stated there is a plan B in place until that happens.

I did read the "Fin" review WYL. I didnt say he wasnt telling the truth and I agree with waiting. I couldnt care how long it takes really.

Cool. Many people on here just want a sponsor. I want a really good one, & and for that prepared to wait.

I'm a little confused about something.

In today's football lift-out in The Age, there is an ad for Energy Watch under the Melbourne summary. It says "joint major sponsor".

So I assume the club is going for a similar sponsorship deal as it had for the last few years, only that now Energy Watch is worth about as much as one major sponsor at other clubs?

Is this why the club is struggling to find a sponsor for the front? It's priced the back quite high, and so therefore has to charge more for the front (otherwise Energy Watch would be pretty [censored] about paying more for less exposure).

The Energy Watch deal might be the biggest in history, but has it essentially compromised the club's ability to get a front sponsor? At least initially?

wyl I was on the patient side for the last three months waiting for the big announcement.

Now reading between the lines I doubt there was ever a real chance of a second major sponsor.

I think it was largely wishful thinking, I doubt there was a real chance more likely a large hope.

Bingo. Just like we heard Scully's situation was progressing nicely. We too naive. The irony of a club who so desperately needs money to survive, not having the ability to sew up a second sponsor and having the decision accepted by members, which according to WYL is saving us from death is absolutely lost on me.

It was suggested by members we take on a new and in my opinion excellent phrase that we need to take on which is "no more excuses". Us being told talks broke down with the Chinese company so we're back to square 1 with a week before the start of the season is making excuses.

And that is exactly what i would expect you to say OD

To you the glass is half empty...me, half full...

i said before christmas i do not care if we have no FOJ all year as long as we get the right one in time.

Others won't...i don't care...i am more interested in seeing players put their hand up this year....off field has done a truckload..time for the players to draw the people..

Win a few and the sponsorship will get even better.

Revenue of said club...2008..... around $24-25 mill

Projected 2012...around $40 mill

A new Sponsor would be superb....but we can afford to search for real Gold, rather than a quick fix IMO

Does the projected $40 mill include a membership of 37000 and the missing sponsor?

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
