New Major Sponsor: Automotive Holdings Group (AHG)



Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

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.

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.

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

youd think a bit more if front and back

but hey..

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....

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.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
