New sponsorship for the Dees?

[demoniac 1,243]

I have mates that support the tiggers too Old Dee but that doesn't proclude them from being scum.

I see no point in forging a deal with our opposition .

We should invest in AAMI (never pay) insurance park and build a decent bar there bar ( with a nice view).

We need to think like a corporate animal as much as i am not .

I am surprised we do not have more assets as a club such as property ,pubs ,land.etc.

If we profit we should be purchasing solid assets as opposed to entering dud deals.

you are surprised that we don't have more assets?

Have you ever taken a look at our accounts? They have not made for pretty reading up until recent years!

we need to make our own patch OD. Not wait for somebody elses keys. We already reneged on the Lexus Centre precinct. Not a good move at all.

We reneged on the Lexus Centre precint? More of a case of us not having the money I would have thought.

mate we should have found the money, this was Previous boards biggest mistakes. They did not engage the supporters.

We collectively could have all raised money to be in the Lexus Precinct, but instead the decision was made that it was too hard.

And we are paying big time for it now. Those extra years at the junction...my god!

What money?? We had nothing but debt???

Oh and you think previous boards prior to Stynes had the moxie to rally the supporters? I think not.

yes that was the exact problem.

But did anybody bother to ask?

Not a word as i remember.

i am sure the MFC could have found the money if the right people had been spoken to.

They weren't.

Take a look at Hawthorn after '96.

It can be done. A risk yes. But good things are worth it.

We are where we are because we did not learn after '96.

It took till 186 until the Footy Department was sorted.

i reckon sponsorship is our biggest issue atm....if the club is asking foundation heroes for help and anyone else

a million or 2 is a big hole to go back into

Unfortunately the tanking investigation has effectively killed off any sponsorship negotiations for the last 7 months. Why commit money to an organisation with crippling penalties hanging over its head and associating yourself with an organisation that is "pathetic and disgusting".?

We can only hope that we can quickly build a positive image with strong on-field performances when this thing is done ... so that potential sponsors start talking to us . The AFL - and the media- have hurt us badly.

i have no problem with the club asking its own supporters for sponsorship possibilities.

Right now is the time supporters have got to be at the forefront.

neither do I .. Why would you not ? its not as though they are relying upon this only, its just another avenue to town ( as it were )

The tanking situation is killing us atm......I reckon for once the footy department looks to have the right set up n people but the tanking situation is killing us of being able to go forward and get sponsors.

Hopefully can end soon but always hard when legal teams are involved

Might be a tough year on the financials front
