Demonland is proud to announce that we are now sponsoring Jayden Hunt and Josh Wagner. We look forward to many years following these two young players. Thank you to all of you have have contributed to this website through Subscriptions, Donations and Merchandise as I've always promised that any excess funds will go back into the club.

Nice work!

Great work Demonland!  Makes me proud to be a Demonlander!.

I've made a slight adjustment to the banner.

Great work! Nice addition to the banner also.

LOVE IT!

I might have to get a Demonland t-shirt and get the boys to sign it.

What an awesome initiative. Well done DL. Perhaps they could do a monthly Q&A on here. Though i guess the club might get a bit nervous about that. Perhaps there concerns would be allayed if we get Saty to moderate it so only positive, affirming question and comments are posted

Great stuff Andy. A wise investment decision 

And just when both were playing so well!

Seriously though, good work crew.

Hehehehehe.

My family also sponsors Maxy Gawn so .....

Well done to the admin and contributors. Strange that the boys would be instructed to stay well clear of their sponsor.

Well done all concerned

This statement is not true.

Apologies. I thought the players were told to stay off the forums. My mistake.

They very well may be told to stay away from reading forums. I took umbrage to the implication that those boys in particular were told to steer clear of their sponsors. 

Nice choice. For some reason these two belong as a pair in my head. Our new age attacking defenders. Love it.

Also our banner was severely lacking in defenders so this evens it up nicely. 

nice one, andy

I seriously hope the players don't read this forum, nothing good would come of it. If you really feel the need to say something to a player, do it in person, not from behind a keyboard.

Great work Andy! Can you explain how the sponsorship thing works? Do all players usually get sponsors? Do some miss out?

What do the players get out of it? Does it effect the salary cap?

Did the sponsorships come exclusivly through demonland members donations/membership fees? Or did you have to put in some cash yourself?

There are 3 levels of Sponsorship. Gold, Silver and Bronze. They vary in price and rewards for the sponsors. Most players have Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors and some only have one or two levels. Hunt and Wagner both had the Silver level available so I took it. When I went to the Season Launch dinner I sat on the sponsors table with Maxy as my family are Silver Sponsors for him. Wagner was placed on our table and at the time he did not have a sponsor.

I don't believe the players get any financial benefits from the sponsorship. I might be mistaken but I believe it is just another fundraising activity for the club.

The donations and Demonland Memberships are a way for the users of Demonland to help contribute to the costs incurred in running the site. I recently had to double our server capacity and hence the monthly expenses wnet up and I hope users have noticed that the site hasn't crashed on match day for the past few weeks. I have always said that if there is anything left over in the kitty I would donate it back to the club. Part of that helped to pay for the sponsorship of these players. The rest was out of my own pocket but I'm happy to share that with the Demonland community so that we can support these guys through their careers at the Demons.

 

Fantastic Demonland, hats off to you. Love these two boys, their attack on the footy, says something about the invincibility and fearlessness of youth and is symbolic of these new Demons. These kids are the future. 

Marvellous Effort that. 

These 2 guys just might epitomize what the new team is all about. 

They are both raw but have no fear to attack the game. 

I heard Robert Shaw talking about Jayden Hunt the other day when he coached him at BGS

We got him under the radar nicely...

Well done Andy.

Contact with sponsors yes, but do you think we could keep them out of reach of just a few of the more debauched or incoherent D'landers?  These guys are probably still young and impressionable you know.
