Well just to change the focus for 5 mins id like to thank Progressive. I recently had cause to insure a vehicle and after looking around their quote was as keen as any , so they got the nod. In return the club got a C-note and much to my surprise I got a brand new jumper ( funny colour red, but hey price is right..lol )

In other news I recently jaunted up to Byron for a wedding and had to hire a car. So diligently I thought id take up the offer from Hertz to grab a discount. Why not I thought. Business paying for it so what the hell. Well lo and behold I could not get a car off of them out of Coolangatta. I found that remarkable. I even tried the online booking without the members code. Still no joy

I got Thrifty in my thinking as a result !! Needless to say there was a hell of a lot of Hertz vehicles sitting there at the GC Airport when I arrived and upon checking , yep there were some for rent. EPIC FAIL Hertz !!

I did give feedback to the club. I do try to use sponsors products where suits. i do really :)

any other stories ??

    would have happily driven the yellow company's cars but...alas :( Their price would have been quite good too.

    Agreed.

    Tried to book with Hertz when I went up to Port douglas. Nothing available in the cairns airport. I tried booking a month in advance. Nothing.

    Website didnt even recognise the code.

    Twas an epic fail.

    Well I am sure the club will seek another sponsor asap, thanks for the feedback.

    A sponser i have 'supported' is Tyrells Wines through their Emblem & Team of the century Shiraz series!

    I just had to hire a car whilst in WA last week. When doing the booking a couple of weeks beforehand, Hertz were not able to compete with other car rentals.

    I used the link from the website, and then looked for prices without using the link and I must say they didn't seem to differ much.

    You should have called Schwab directly, I'm sure he would have made it his top priority.

    youve obviously missed the whole theme. Well done. You must be feeling pretty clever with yourself .

    You and Bluey should form a click.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
