New Sponsor/ Corporate Partner?

Featured Replies

Posted

Hey guys,

You may remember at the AGM that PJ mentioned that there was to be a new sponsor/ corporate partner that was to come on board sometime this month.

Do we know when this is likely to happen (unless I've missed something) and who the new company may be?

I'm always excited by these types announcements as more corporate support is always good news!

Without that post, everything else didn't really make sense so it's best left out unless we can start again with what the author believes can appropriately be said.

So should be getting something soon?

Also is it a decent sized sponsor?

He doesn't know.
 

The good thing is that we are not leaking.

Except at boozy dinners for prospective foundation members!

Don't think it involved actual leaking of news, did it?

No not really.

The conclusion to this matter might come March 14 at the commencement dinner.

The only stronger announcement they could make would be that chip had re-signed and that's unlikely prior to the season proper.

I always miss the stuff the gets removed :)

Why should we start worrying now about what here makes sense and what doesn't? Hasn't been a problem before. :-)))))

Seems a very strange night to hold the commencement dinner. Didn't they look at the fixture - it clashes with the first match of the season.

You know what? In this case you're correct.

I was just passing on the basic info that was detailed in the since-deleted post.

You must feel proud of yourself.

Why, its only Pies v Dockers at Etihad? Who cares? For those few that do care, there is taping available and a whole night of replays on Fox Footy.

Man, I was getting so confused with what was going on on this thread...

I'm guessing that the new sponsor isn't looking at apparel sponsorship because I'm sure MFC don't want to be changing jumpers/shorts the night before our first match.

A couple of years ago the Bluey Truscott night coincided with an AFL Preliminary Final also involving Collingwood.

Fortunately, in this day of AFL iPhone apps it's possible to attend the commencement dinner, keep up with the evenings AFL activities and watch the game AND be rude and unsociable to the others at your table - all at the same time!

Quite so if your only interest in footy is MFC but mine goes a lot further and I find the first game of an AFL season very enjoyable. It's when the real stuff starts and marks the spot in time we've been waiting for all preseason. Watching a replay is of little value when you in all likelihood the result will be known.

To organize this function on this night when so many other nights would have been available seems odd to me and rather poor planning.

Stay home & watch the game then.

If that's your solution I hope you're not in a management or decision making environment.

I suppose they thought a friday night with most having the day off the next day would maximise attendance.

I think you are in a very, very small minority.

I don't think many MFC fans would feel the same as you, if they could either attend the season opener function and hear the Coach and meet the players, or stay home and watch the pies. If money was not a factor I think the result would be 99.9% in favour of attending the function.

Also they probably wanted it to be just before the season opener and so that limits it to only a couple of options and other weekend options would also involve another club's TV game.

I agree but why does it have to be either/or? It could so easily be "both". If 5 people make the decision not to go because it clashes with the opening night that $1,000 lost.

After all, I could stay at home, save $200, watch the opening game of the season and then go to the website and most likely see all the presentations by the coaches/players anyway.

I'm going but I don't understand the scheduling.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
