Well done in sticking up for pirinciples.

[PartyTimeJohnny 533]

Holllllyy Sh!T

[Geddy Lee 582]

Never in doubt.

What a start to a season.

[Disco Demons 92]

hahaa...what a week!...you gotta laugh...

[Jack Jack 415]

Aaawww mannnn. Our sponsorship thread is already 10 trillion pages long waiting for the second sponsor to come on board. What's it going to be like now?

[pitmaster 3,064]

Correct decision and the statement is appropriately strongly worded.

This guy is a creep and yes, I too wondered about EW as a sponsor - rapid rise and wide boy at the helm.

It's now up to us as a members to find ways to lift club revenue - hit that merchandise stall for a start, and attend paying functions. $2 mill divided by membership numbers works out to less than $70 a head.

[Arsene Wenger 72]

Had to happen.

[Rogue 585]

I'm glad we terminated.

[The Reverend 1,718]

It's called integrity. A lesson for Demetriou and the AFL. Now it's up to supporters to do the right thing by the club. MFC needs our support more than ever.

[Striker475 696]

I'm hoping the club actually produce some sort of cover for the jumpers already sold for when a new BOJ sponsor is announced. I don't want to give that racist [censored] any more publicity.

[Deemort 28]

hahaa...what a week!...you gotta laugh...

Haha yeah hysterically, shortly after crying!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,493]

On a practical implementation point, I wonder whether we'll be playing in jumpers without the former sponsor's name this weekend. I would have thought it would be hard to do, particularly with tomorrow being a public holiday.

I think they'll cover it with tape or material or something. I'm guessing it's not going to be a fantastic look but better thn giving him news.

Worse is all the signing boards, training equipments, the footys with the symbols. It's just carnage.

[Demon Dream 5]

Interesting as to what happens for tomorrow's game.

I'd be happy as a supporter to have the hankook/Kaspersky jumpers out there as they we loyal parters, dont want to see any energywatch

[Sir Why You Little 34,657]

Has SEO gone as well?

I hope something will be done about the jumper i just bought last week. It cannot be worn.

Supporters have to look after the club

Stick Fat.

[warren dean 193]

4 members in our household - we'll donate $100 bucks each to the club for being a place of principle and integrity. Well done MFC!

[Viney Vidi Vici 114]

I read this and all I could say was 'wow'.

And i'm sticking by that sentiment. How is this week real?

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 380]

Whats next?!?! Someone on the Melbourne Board turns out to be a Chinese double agent??!!

Apparently Melbourne is playing a football game this weekend

Let's hope the unreality continues and we beat the Eagles

[whatwhat say what 19,231]

it is an absolute disaster.

at least the club made the correct decision.

but we are going to be feeling the ramifications of this for YEARS to come.

while we will survive the current media rights deal - which requires 18 teams in the competition - our future as part of the afl will be sorely questioned thereafter.

As much as I hate it, given the current sponsorship situation, I fear I'm just gonna have to use some gaff over the logo on my purchase. Can't expect the club to spend more money at this time.

(especially given it was a specially-printed green version.....)

[Steamin Demon 370]

Great stance by the club. They must be comended for these swift a decisive actions. I never had a start to the year like this. We need to come out the other side ASAP

[Deemort 28]

Still waiting on me free footy from the pricks wonder if that will ever come. Dogs it's been 7 months already.

[Dr. Mubutu 694]

Also, whoever runs @AllenJakovich on twitter is on fire.

Bring back #tooheys as the new major sponser!
