On twitter there is a photo of Clark, Howe Grimes and Trengove in the new gear. They have the NT tourism on the shorts the stars and collars are gone, looks a bit different

Wow. I cannot believe they kept this quiet for so long, they got a jumper printed off...

Jackson and the Board have got the ship pretty tight, I know there was a mention last week on here but I believe that poster got it from a regional AHG head from memory.

    Nice to see smiles at a press conference. Looks pleasantly strange.

    I'm sure the media will find something to criticize about it

    Well done MFC. These guys are a big company.

    Cars Transport Logistics.

    Couple more of these sponsorships and we can stand up unaided in a few years.

    Go Demons.

    Slightly off topic but why do people care about the stars and the collar? Is it just a Schwab thing? I couldnt give a rats.

    However on topic, this is fantastic news and great not just financially but it gives players like Frawley the feeling that the club is moving forward and there is light at the end if the tunnel. A financially secure and stable club will definately impact on his desicion whether to re-sign or bail.

    I cant get the bloody AHG jingle out of my head (rip off of ABC by the Jackson 5). curse you 6PR

    Even since that clown Sattler has been a-holed from that station I just can't bring myself to tune in to 882. Every time I heard Karl Langdon come on I felt like taking a sledgie to the wireless.

    well done PJ and co

    Was only a matter of time before you landed us a big sponsor, and I have no doubt it was carefully researched and thought through as we are now a professional unit

    i hope we got some massive $$$$ too

    GO DEMONS

    PJ on the AFL website mentions the club should be in the black next season. Great effort, even with the AFL money we will drop about a million this year

    I dont get that either.

    The stars were Schwab's way of reminding the club that the frustration of the past dive decades was at odds with the 68 years of VFL-AFL competition that went before. Once we were a giant of the competition, but for most people we are a St Kilda-like study in failure and under achievement.

    Schwabby was telling us that as bad as we might have been recently, there was still reason to be proud. I too don't give a rats about the stars.

    I have to say though that with PJ at the helm I am feeling better about the present and the future.

    Hopefully there won't be a white box at the back.

    It could be a pink box for all I care. What is important is the amount of dollars we will receive and what we can do with them to get us back as a competitive and respected club on and off the field.

    Like I have said before, there won't be enough bronze in the world for the size statue PJ will deserve at the end of his tenure.

    Great effort and great momentum.

    I think that is it in terms of Major Sponsors.

    And define 'unaided' - in 2012 we were given approximately $12.6m...

    Collingwood was given $12.5m.

    This is from the AFL Annual Report.

    No club is 'unaided.'

    I love the no fuss approach, no bells and whistles just a press conference before training, no financial details it basically is our business not yours, straight to the point no hype.

    Warms the heart to see Mitch standing there alongside his teammates. Fire up big fella.

    Speaking of Jackson, he's contracted till Oct 14 right? Then he moves off into the sunset?

    Mentioned on BF that Bartlett is close mates with the head of AHG, so he may have played a key role in this happening.

    Not what you know, it's who you know.

    Loving it.

    I'm speechless. The last six months have been a whirlwind of positivity for the club.

    Thank you Peter, Glenn and Paul....

    What a ride!!!

    Well you should. The stars represent the premierships and I'd love to see the neck and shoulders covered in them before I log out of here.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
