Is it time to segue into this thread - Jeff Chapman - wealthy past player?

I was thinking along the same lines..... lets hope he isn't a demonlander or maybe hope he is?

Anyone know him personally? - could give him a little nudge

    Can we blame CS for this?

    sponsorships have been hard to get since the sydney olympics.. it seems to have gotten more difficult every year since.

    you can't blame Cam for that. we were lucky to have gotten the money we did from the energy sponsorship,,, better than naught, I would have thought.

    We can possibly blame Schwab for not locking down one major sponsor for a long term deal. Hopefully WebJet stay around which gives us some stability.

    If you want to buy some votes Mr Stockdale then show us a sponsor.

    what like nubrik? lexus, not easy to do at a club with such a perennially thin & quiet conservative supporter base.

    if stockdale wants to entice any votes, he better 'spell out' what his plans are. what he sees our failings are, & how he' wants to go about fixing them.

    otherwise exit stage left like snagglepuss snagglepuss_by_bennythebeast-d4nomxk.png

    "Exit Stage Left...." a magnificent actor Snugglepuss was...

    hahaha, i'm gonna go looking for some more... simple light hearted fun & laugh like a child,,, nothin' better. good for the heart, & the spirit.

    he's better than sniggerpuss, or his sister sourpuss.

    It is amazing that Opel came to Aus in the first place.

    It is the European division of GM.

    GMH sold a few of their brands for years as holdens.

    I have a few friends in the Auto industry and every one said this will not work.

    Australia is one of the toughest car markets in the work and they came with one modern model (Astra )

    and a couple of others that were average cars.

    All sold at higher prices to the competitors.

    Perhaps we could suck back up to Volvo?

    When we buy jumpers from the demon shop can the sponsors logo's be put on with velcro? Every year I buy a new jumper because mine is out of date.

    What's next?

    possibly

    Geez it would be nice to have a sponsor for more than 1 or 2 bloody seasons.

    For the love of god some consistency in this area would be nice.

    Actually some consistency in ALL areas of the MFC would be nice.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
