Bombers Dump VFL sponsorship

ESSENDON asked its VFL affiliate to remove cover the name and logo of embattled company EnergyWatch from the club's jumpers before its VFL game on Saturday.

Essendon CEO Ian Robson told SEN on Saturday the Bombers would not allow its players to play in jumpers with the company's name displayed on them.

"EnergyWatch has no relationship at all with the Essendon Football Club," Robson said.

Robson explained as part of Essendon and Bendigo going their separate ways at the end of 2012, Bendigo had begun to source their own sponsors, of which EnergyWatch was one.

Each club will field a stand-alone VFL club in 2013.

"(Melbourne CEO) Cameron Schwab put it right for everybody in football when you say there is no price on integrity and what you stand for, whether you are a club that has been in a competition for as short a time as GWS let alone for a club such as ourselves with over 130 years of history.

"A very easy decision to make. The right decision."

Yet this gathers little or no media attention !

But the situation came to light on Wednesday! I'm very surprised that it will take until early next week for Bendigo to formally dump EW and that it hasn't already occurred. Don't they have phones in the country? That's a pretty sloppy effort. It also sounded like Essendon instigated the covering of the EW logos on their gear.

I agree but that has nothing to do with the MFC. Today i/v will be in tomorrows media & i am sure that our CEO will get the kudos deserved. I am amazed that EW could sponsor all these different clubs. Where was all the revenue coming from?? Crown Casino...?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
