I agree that we need more presence in the city. A Melbourne-based sports team based right in front of tourists would be a gimmick, I am sure some people would get the urge to buy something official of the city as opposed to some cheap Asian merchandise from Swantson street.

But just to make a presence anyway. The population in the CBD is growing, and so is foot traffic. We are Melbourne. I really have never understood why we don't have a presence in the CBD.

Oh, and Canberra in the NRL just signed a $1.7 million sponsorship deal with a Chinese company. I look forward to Schwaby's return to the forums.

Seriously, if anyone uses the "gfc" argument again...

    With all due respect, C420, it's $850k p.a. for two years.

    If that's what's on offer - they can't afford us.

    The Raiders are on a different playing field to the MFC.

    Huawei just got into Canberra on the cheap. That's all.

    On a side note, as it looks like we won't have a second major sponsor heading into the season, does anyone know if the limited edition Reach guernseys will become a little less limited? Are there any plans to sell another batch?

    I'd really like to get my hands on at least one with Jim's number.

    I thought the same thing. I jumped onto the website to order one yesterday and looks like they've all gone.

    So you think sponsorship investment in a football team during these tough times where the investment doesnt provide a suitable is a non argument ?

    They're still available JacK Jack. I received mine Tuesday just gone.

    Go to the Demon shop on the MFC website to order.

    I've looked several times and can't seem to find them. They advertise that they are available, but are nowhere to be found.

    Is Bill Gates screwing with my head again?

    Again....that's what I found. I went onto the website to order one, but it seems as though after you click on the link - it takes you to the general shop page rather than to the order page like it did previously.

    Is that Acker beating the drums again? Looks like him.

    The papers will go bonkers with 'Acker the hacker'

    Wow, that is a very good look-a-like! I thought Acker was just a virus.

    I asked MFC on Twitter if they'd have some Reach guernsey at the store on Saturday and they said yes.

    It would appear that at least one club has managed to get a "large Chinese" firm over the line in sponsorship:

    I, of course, have no idea what, if any, implications there are for our quest.

    Refer to post 1077.

    CS really has his work cut out for him now. Imagine trying to attract a sponsor after such a performance.

    With more performances like that we'll be splashed all over the papers, tv etc. That's great coverage for a sponsor.

    Exactly.

    We have a habit of attracting a lot of media attention. Perfect for sponsors.

    Sponsors dont care about on field performance, thye care about their exposure.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
