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.

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)!

didn't we get burnt before by one of these internet-based service brokering pop-ups?

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???

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
