Great news.

But I'm a bit confused about who AHG is targeting. Does anyone buy a car by looking for a dealer who happens to be a member of their group? Don't most people look at a few models and go to the nearest appropriate dealers and see who gives the best deal? Also, customers will see the finance business through the dealers. Would they go to a dealer because they specifically want AHG finance?

So what exactly is AHG mass-marketing? Are they planning to push the centralised service-booking service perhaps?

I'm sure they know or they wouldn't be throwing money our way. Any marketing-gurus like to explain?

This deal is significantly more than Webjet and Opel. With the NT deal, we are above mid table in sponsorship revenue. A remarkable achievement coming off 2 (7?) years of disaster.

At the B&F Bartlett has announced that this sponsorship has been extended  Assume details will be announced later. Great news and another step on off-field stability!

Jesse Hogan convinced to sign a 5-year contract, but only on the provision that PJ and PR did likewise? One can dream can't they!?!?

geezus , this is a whole different place now isnt it !! :)

Its looking like a footy club that has a list that looks like a footy team. Its got people at the helm who seem ( at last ) more interested in the furthering of the club ( than any t her agendas ) . Its getting people interested in hopping aboard the bus both commercially and from a following's perspective.

We've got Coach and staff who talk the club up and head the nuff nuff's of the nong-estate off at the pass before they can get a biased question out.

I am at the right place.......this is Melbourne....it is isnt it ?? :wub:

If all this off filed overhauling doesnt filter through to game-spirit, then nothing ever will.

2nd tier sponsors can pay $1 mill a year if all goes well.

The value of the club has gone up today.

I would say it has been maintained. We are giving back and front sponsorship for $2m.

That is a million for each side.

How is a 2nd tier sponsor going to be paying as much as the Major Sponsor?

It is alleged to be $2m a year over 3 years but why would you start believing the press now ?

Rarely have been accurate with much written about our club over the recent past, just because it's a positive article I'm still inclined to take the figures being bandied about with a grain of salt. Confident in those in power to have negotiated as good a deal as possible for the club and more than comfortable that this deal is for 3 years which gives us some time and breathing space to crack on with the business of becoming a top club again.

True, but companies like that aren't trying to sell something to the public. They are trying to get onside with the public, ie. 'please don't object to our next mine digging a big hole in your backyard'.

Well said bb

It is difficult to believe we won't make a better fist of 2014 than we have over the last two years.

I think we still have a long way to go with our playing list

However this November you get a strong feeling that we are at least being run by a group of people that know what they are doing.

I feel substantially more confident than I have for some time.

I don't think they have. Opel and Webjet were paying in the vicinity of $1m each. It has been mainatained.

You say that the 2nd tier sponsors are going to reach a number that is effectively what AHG is paying us - it won't happen.

We will hopefully find some more periphery sponsors but we are still a fair way behind the bigger clubs.

I get the feeling PJ is starting to relax a little and in a good way. I wouldn't have been surprised if he actually came into the club with a full head of hair!
Great work PJ. I know you won't rest on your laurels and will keep fighting to make us a great club (the sad thing is you will probably be gone is 12 months) but so far the work you have done is top notch. Not only have you torn down the rotten old structure of the club you have replaced it with a foundation of pure bedrock. Now, we just need to build a house on it that will hold up during inclement weather.

My read on this is that Jackson wanted to get a similar amount to what Opel and Webjet were putting in and he didn't want to deal with a company that might be fighting for existence in the short term, he didn't want to wait and try and get a second one, he just wanted to move on and take the solid, if more humble, money from AHG.

There hasn't been an explosion of Major Sponsor money but there has been a lift in the solidity and credibility of the partner.

At this time of the year, for many years, I have been optimistic and excited about the season ahead, only to have these hopes dashed early in the season.

My hopes this year are equally optimistic, but are laced this time with more than a trace of realism, given the huge off field advances made in the past few months.

I was initially wary of Peter Jackson, given his history at Essendon, though based not on his results, rather his passion for that club. I am now convinced that his appointment was a stroke of genius. Would Paul Roos and AHG be on board without him?

My wife is having trouble understanding why my usual glum expression has been replaced with a huge smile. Long may it last!

Well , slightly...off topic...but is a sponsor

Have to go to Sin city today for a funeral tomorrow and need a car.. Just hired a Hertz ( no not a Hurze....bad humour ? )

Their rate was indeed a good discount . Sometimes these things arent so good lol but their rate compared more than favourable. So cheers Hertz :)

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
