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.

    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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
