Credit where credit is due> If the CEO has to take responsibility for not securing a sponsor, he gets to take to take the credit and kudos when one is secured.

Brilliant stuff webjet. Reflects very strongly on the company the fact that they have jumped on board and thrown their support behind us in a real time of need. Hopefully the deal works well for both parties! Let's get around them dee fans.

Finally some good news. As for their logo, big is not too big given our recent predicament. I hope it distracts the Richmond players.

$10,000 doesn't really get you very far. A ticket to Europe via Asia with a connecting flight into another European country will set you back $3000. More if you want special cripple seats. Can't believe how much they rip you off if you can't sit cramped up against some fat guy for 44 hours. Total discrimination against people with bad knees!

By the way, we just got a sponsor on an 8 day turnaround. Are people really complaining? Really?! Talk about first world problems!

Another Melbourne supporter (the advertising person who WebJet use) brings home the goods, well done WebJet.

Amazing what some supporters can do with a positive attitude - fantastic news. Wonder if he took the attitude all he has to do is buy a membership - obviously not.

Back of Jumper sponsor just needs to be sorted out now.

How about Go Switch - an EW competitor?

Would love to see that.

Flights into LA and out of New York, accom for 4 days in LA, Contiki New Years in New York and flights to get there, travel insurance and Disney World tickets for two people. Happy with my bang for my buck actually.

Wonder if Webjet would give me a discount for being a MFC member...

iSelect have stupid amounts of cash too.

I've been inside their offices, and they installed a slide for the staff to get from the 2nd floor down to ground.

They honestly seem to be looking for ideas to spend money on.

When quoting to them, you know to add on a healthy margin.

Get in there CS!

I spent two months in Europe on $6000, and that was when the dollar was crap over there. You just need to shop around a bit. Admittedly, a couple of the planes were a little cramped, but I got by.

As for the sponsor, I think this is a hell of an effort by the club. Do we have a figure yet for how much? I somehow doubt it's the 2mil we were supposed to get from EW. Still hope it's a nice chunky figure.

Surely they'd at least be willing to match the shade of red to our jumper. I know it's not the exact colour, but it's still red. Having said that, priority 1 is a back of jumper sponsor. Priority 2 is making sure the logos work well with our existing colour scheme.

You and I clearly do not have the same shopping habits.

Milan, Paris, Barcelona. I could spend $6000 a day if I had the money. Must stay well clear of all Prada related goods.

But yes, flights are definitely the biggest expense. Add a connection into the Middle East and watch the price climb. Damn hell holes!

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
