Great news for the Club generally and the women's team in particular.  Their logo will be on front and back of jumper.

Peter Jackson:  "It’s a great endorsement of the Melbourne Football Club and our pioneering efforts in helping to establish women’s football at the elite level.  It also shows great foresight by iSelect, who in their own field are a pioneering company, to see the value and future potential of the National Women’s League."

Great for the club to be the first (I think) to have a sponsor for the Women's Team.  While previous administrations talked about our history as pioneers of the game PJ is creating a whole new pioneering history.  He never fails to amaze and deliver.  Thank God, we have him.

Hopefully that helps them out with getting health insurance...

Quite frankly I don't subscribe to taking any sponsor that comes along. iSelect were recently featured in the paper in relation to questionable business practices and their television ads are so irritating that I chucked my tv out in the hard rubbish. Prefer to see our Women's Team attract sponsorship from AAMI, RACV or some other insurer without a dodgy reputation (though judging from feedback to my pre-edited post, the concept of reputable insurer appears to be an oxymoron)!

Slightly different kettle of fish with this one. Funnily enough ISelect ended up buying Energy Watch once they got back on track.

Buy one your biggest competitor reasons. The guys who bought the EW business from the friut loop ended up doing a very good job turning it around, iS wants to be the biggest broker in the country, they bought EW to help them reach that goal.

Good luck to them. Smart buying when the company exists online

Not meaning to contradict you but they aren't an insurer. They compare all the companies to get you the best deal (or at least that's their claim). 

Anyway, all insurers are as bad as each other!

Welcome aboard for the ladies team iSelect!

Pates advertising is a wonderful thing.

They don't compare all companies at all, they have a "panel" of partners. They do claim to the offer the best deal of the partners on the panel though.

Damn! Used them, for my first-time-ever use of one of these websites, for my electricity just 3 weeks ago. Missed an even better deal???
