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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
