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.

Just rang the shop and they have a new order coming in today with all sizes. All good!

Legend.

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.

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.

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

And about 6 articles in the papers ect would suggest that is high imo

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
