Surely you've heard of APIA Old Dee.

Custom built to fleece pensioners.

I found APIA to be very competitive and were great when paying out a claim.......You actually get to speak with real people....Very rare these days........

    Just noticed Progressive Insurance seems to have disappeared from our website as a named sponsor.

    just checked the MFC web site Vagg

    Still listed as a sponsor

    Should we change the thread to "Dees shopping for another insurer"....?

    Really? I'm blowed if I can find any reference to them on the MFC site. In fact, at the bottom of their home page, where they list their sponsors, they show only Webjet, Opel, Hertz, New Balance & Peter Werth...

    Coles Insurance are buying customers at the moment, guaranteeing to beat any other quote

    get the best quote you can then ring them

    I did and scan/emailed them last year's policy which was then the cheapest i found (and incidentally this year's renewal was $120 dearer for less sum insured which i did not scan/email)

    they beat that price by $5, so I accepted

    expect i will go through whole charade again next year

    dc I am involved in the supplier to Coles industry among other things.

    They are the greatest bunch of pricks this side of the black stump.

    I would not buy from Coles if they were the last insurance company on Earth.

    Rather drive around uninsured than give them $1.

    And RobbieF don't touch them with a 100ft. barge pole.

    PS that is the only way to keep the price down.

    Keep changing company's.

    We don't handle domestic insurance and I use a recognised insurer for my cars. I don't care as much about the price as I do about the product.

    If my premium is around last years I just renew if it's gone up by a lot I ask them why and if they don't budge I'll maybe look around but I have more important priorities.

    i know where you are coming from od

    the supermarket duopoly is a blight both on customers and suppliers

    but it will only be improved by better competition and maybe regulation

    the first think government should do is break the petrol/supermarket nexus. surely it is against trade practices regulations, but nobody has the guts to tackle it

    boycotting won't work

    I got hounded for another 3 as well I had already bought 3 and I must say I'm a bit sick of them ringing me every year to buy more.

    I've got a few $50 scratches but that's all.

    Visy/Amcor

    Coles/Safeway

    Coke/Pepsi

    They are destroying the entire food chain slowly and deliberately.

    Grow your own veg if you can and avoid them like the plague.

    They are a menace to the food supply and society.

    Coles are not an insurer they are simply acting as agents for Lumley General Insurance (Part of Westfarmers) so they receive commission on sales.

    Have a look at your agreed value and you will see that it agreed value or market value whichever is the lesser.

    I understand that RobbieF

    Coles or West Farmers

    Just different pockets in the same jacket.

    I agree, they must have me on file as a pushover! i'd be better off buying $500 of merch from the demon shop

    I know they are just an agent

    the terms of policy matched what i already had emailed them and insured value is market value only

    How about that!? Following your link shows quite a large list of sponsors, including Progressive. But, just going straight to the website, I see no way of navigating to that page. As I said before, when I go to the home page, there's just the handful of sponsors mentioned, and Progressive aint one of them. Strange. Ah well...!!

    Forget moral and social issues (whatever they are) and get to the point. Can I get an insurer who will believe that my barbecued alpacas have really been struck by lightening?

    Go to the MFC website, roll over where it says "the club", click on sponsors.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
