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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
