seems kaspersky is staying involved with football - now the coaches' partner at collingwood.

Well, Eddie was true to his word and got one of our sponsors... so I suppose that clears the way for us to lure Cloke away ;-) Edited by hardtack

ah, yes, BUT who's the Dagger?

Billy2803...only $1m a season...strange we have heard nothing about what Webjet and Opel paid (a distinct contrast to the heavy promotion of the $2m a season sponsorship from Energy Watch)...WHY COULD THAT BE, I WONDER?????

DemonAndrew...I woud have thought you would have been too busy to be posting on here...get on the collingwood website.

Can you guess which corporate spin (aka a media release) is for which team?

A) Kaspersky Lab is delighted to secure this partnership with the ? Football Club and we look forward to becoming part of the great community and tradition of the ?.

B) We are looking forward to building our relationship with the ? team and its wider corporate networks.

“Being Melbourne based, the local Kaspersky team are all strong AFL supporters and are passionate about backing clubs that match our values.”

From a corporate point of view, coaches sponsorship at Collingwood potentially holds a greater commodity than joint major at Melbourne. Sad but true. Good move by Kaspersky.

bandwagon sponsors

Hardly... they went with us when we were down and they are going with the Pies when they are possibly on their way down.

What do you mean by "when we were down" ? Are we higher now at 18th than what we were ?

$1mil for FOJ? .You must be kidding .They are only paying Manly $300000 for the major sponsorship.They were not prepared to pay us $500000 to continue as a co sponsor so we not unnaturally let them walk .No financial loss there .

I really need to explain? Of course we are still down (just my poor use of tense)...the point I was making was that they are hardly jumping on bandwagons when they choose to sponsor teams that are either down or on their way down.

kallangurdemon...$500,000 a year, your source???? How can it be that there was a handshake agreement in China to continue on current terms....believed to be around the $800,000 + amount (source MFC), yet you state they only wanted to pay $500,000.

Unfortunately, we have allowaed a Global Company to walk to our opposition because we got greedy...one that holds the strategic link into China that we were all led to believe was so important.

Demon Andy I would prefer not to reveal my source without his/her consent but I can add that if we had been prepared to accept a $300000 deal Kaspersky would stll be on board as there no issues other than money .I dont believe we were greedy but rather commercially prudent .

Very strange decision by Kapersky.

Latest research shows that Collywood only has 136 supporters with access to a computer; this is the lowest % in the AFL and NFL combined.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
