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.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
