    Hmm. Well spotted caddypgt. Makes you wonder doesn't it (?), or maybe he's on annual leave with his family.

    Interesting to say the least!

    Huawei

    I think the HQ is in Shenzhen.

    Big international supplier of Telephony equipment 90% of Wireless modems sold in Australia are Huawei.

    Just starting to push there own branded mobile phones in aus.

    Would be a good fit.

    Even if he was on annual leave, I guarantee that it would be a working holiday.

    I'm sure the new sponsor will be announced soon.

    I asked at the Demon shop when the new jumpers will be In and the guy said they're just waiting to finalise sponsors, we should have them In by Xmas.

    That was two weeks ago.

    Or is it the case the sponsor is known...the jumpers ordered but Sponsor has a specific date in mind ..for whatever reason....just speculating. !!

  • Quote

    One of his previous tweets says there's a committed effort to getting the right hue for the red in the jumper. There will be a dark (blood) red. Where do the jumpers come from ? China.

    Looking at the 3 new draftees shirts that they were wearing in the photos,when interviewed, their shirts show the name Energywatch on the front of their shirts.Just maybe, this sponsor maybe our only major sponsor.Just hope, this ain't correct.We really need another key sponsor.

    Anyway much of this is purely our speculative guessowrk . Whilst watching a late night show I saw an ad for some Chinese mob called Chanhong.

    Never heard of them before. They as it seems are the second largest manufacturer of Tellies in China, much of it exported. We havent seen this brand probably as much wil lhave been badged I imagine. But they are now spruiking in their own right. This reminded me of when LG came onto the Aussie scene. Paractically no one had heard of them before. I had slightly as I was buyiing Hifi ( I retailed) and they were an OEM mob for other brands before they also burst upon the scene.

    LG is a household name now. We helped. Kapsersky is a household name now, we helped.

    On the polo's, any major sponsor is displayed on the front, regardless of their position on the playing jumper.

    Or just making hay while the sun shines.. Might as well give them some exposure until the real one is announced. They are after all coughing up big bikkies . No harm at all :)

    keep in mind both sponsors are likely to be on front of shirt.. The jumper works differently

    Yes exactly like that, i think they definitely need to make a move sponsorship wise if they want to become a player in the Australian market.

    And if they are the second largest manufacturer in China then they will have the $$$$ to splash in our Market easily.

    You can be first on the scene, maybe it was in the back of my mind from that post.

    If CS is in China right now on a "working" holiday that is superb news for the MFC. Remember we are also the name of a very vibrant city that is part of a stable economy compared to the rest of Earth. This is where we need to use our name to it's very biggest advantage. I shall follow this news closely. By 2012 our jumper could be worth a lot of $$$

    I don't know. But making and Badging are 2 very different things now. Sony is Japanese yes but only a small amount of it's produce is actually made in Japan now. A Chinese manufacturing contract would be a HUGE get for the club.

    WYL - has there been any mention of this company anywhere other than on this forum?

    I hope you're right about the big $$$, but I don't think you will be. I still think the FoJ sponsorship will attract less than what Energy Watch paid for the back. While I appreciate that it shouldn't be the case (due to more exposure through media outlets for FoJ position), I just think EW paid overs.

    The other thing that we have to remember is that while we are Melbourne, we are also the Melbourne Football Club. We have had a year from hell on-field, and we haven't tasted the ulimate prize since 1964. We have won 2 wooden spoons in the last 4 years. There are far more cons than pros when it comes to a company/organisation wanting to invest in to the AFL sponsorship market, but, if there are more EW-style companies that are happy to pay a premium price, I'll happily accept their money.

    That doesn't not mean I under-value the FoJ sponsorship, I just think EW over-valued the BoJ which has lifted the expectations of many on here.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
