New Major Sponsor: Automotive Holdings Group (AHG)

[DemonOX 8,712]

So to recap we have the following sponsors :

Hertz

NT

AHG

New Age Caravans &

New Balance

Not bad for a club who has been lets say struggling for the last 7 years.

Well done to PJ and co.

Now lets see some results on the field.

I'm willing to bet that GWS quietly gets a suitcase load more than we do to finance their extravagances and that if they haven't done so already Brisbane and St. Kilda will also put their hands out for more given their dire financial situations. Not to mention assistance regularly paid out to the Doggies and the Roos (the team not the coach).

I look forward to some transparency from the AFL on this issue. It would make a nice change.

Don't the Doggies and North get more to balance out their awful stadium deal at Etihad?

If they do, that's fair enough, IMO.

....and PJ expects us to be back in black next year. Not bad, I'll take it.

All this talk about. A little about. A 1.45mil hand out why are we getting so much heat from the media, is al a conspiracy, yet I hear nothing about the 9 million that port are getting over. Three years, màkes our grant of 1.45. Million look small, has koch told his frie nds in the media not to talk about it?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're typing from a phone

I think the AFL having transparency about money handed out to clubs is a good idea - they should also become completely transparent about the benefit/cost to each club in regards to their FIXtures and stadium deals to provide a truer picture. All up I'd say the "compensation" handed out is nowhere near enough.

To be fair Ox, 3 of the 5 you have listed above were on board before PJ took over. Credit (and criticism!) where it's due for all parties.

[DemonFrog 1,347]

i was going to ask you if you can ride them....then i thought better not

We are not from NZ,

Mind you they do prefer sheep.

[Sir Why You Little 36,676]

Very impressive media conference.

Things have changed.

I take your point (and new that when I posted) billy but I don't know if they would have stuck around if the old management was in place.

Things are a lot more professional with the new guys in place which is a breath of fresh air tbh.

Let's not forget that our two major sponsors from 2013 haven't "stuck around" under the new management. Sure, Opel weren't finanically in a situation to go again, but I've not heard why Webjet opted out (can't imagine it's financial issues). It's also interesting that Webjet are in fact a publicly listed company - something PJ was very quick to promote about AHG.

I don't disagree about the breath of fresh air, and I'm as excited as anyone about the new regime, but I am also not getting caught up in all the bells and whistles.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,654]

PJ said we got $1.45m from the AFL. Less than many others are still getting.

Have we paid the $500,000 (non) tanking fine? Or is that separately accounted for? It's possible the $1.45m is actually only $950,000 in real terms if we still had to pay the fine out of those proceeds.

Jackson mentioned the ASX200 - a group which Webjet is certainly not a member of.

That's one whistle or bell that impressed me...

Billy my information is that "webjet" is not setting the world on fire.

Only here say but as I am told they could not afford the cost.

I was under the impression that Webjet were part of the 200 - my apologies. That said, I've invested in many companies, some that are part of the 200, some that aren't, some that were then they got downgraded. Some companies not in the 200 have outperformed those in it. Bottom line is that while it's a good list to be on, it can change rapidly (especially in today's market). As long as due diligence is done, I'm happy to accept any money that is offered to us. Being part of the ASX200 gives us a level of security/inurance, as opposed to the kn0b that was Ben Polis.

I wouldn't be recommending a buy for Webjet at the moment, but I'm far from crying "sell"! For me, WEB is an absolute hold. Tough market they are competing in and holding their own.

True

If talking won matches we would be champions by now!

[Sir Why You Little 36,676]

Presntation is always important.

Creates more interest.

Having an ASX 200 Sponsor puts us in a whole different network.

Now it is up to the players hold up their end of the bargain.

Bartlett & PJ have been busy.

As a matter of interest, which other clubs have an ASX 200 company as a sponsor. I think Fremantle has (or had in 2013) Woodside. Does Sydney still have QBE?

We were never ever going to pay the fine.

It was all for show cause the afl had to be seen to be doing something after the witch hunt sorry I mean investigation!

agree with that

have a family member who does subcontract work with them

they are a web based company in a very competitive and changing space

BHP Billiton are a minor sponsor the Eagles. Match ball in 2012 and maybe coaches box this season... Can't quite remember.

not sure of other clubs status but for the MFC having an ASX 200 company on our letter head should help create more business Edited November 19, 2013 by why you little
