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.

    • 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.
