Timing wise, if a deal has been struck, I'd announce it just before the season starts. Might bring in a few extra members and build further momentum. In PJ we trust.

Hmmm....
I'm a little worried about the lack of BOJ sponsor. PJ hasn't put a foot wrong really since arriving but I think he will need to get cracking on this one.
That being said, it should happen before round 1. I just would like it to happen sooner.

Exactly. There is no way he isn't on top of it. Going into the season without a BOJ sponsor would be future career suicide for a CO of Jackson's standards. They just don't make these sorts of mistakes. I feel pretty confident we are just waiting to time the announcement for maximum effect. Or maybe they're just held up a bit due to actually doing some research on the company this time before accepting bundles of tainted cash.

Have you ever heard of someone becoming a member of a football club because of its sponsors?

TAC has some cash to spare, although Clarry got done for speeding recently.

Drink driving I thought. Let's be honest any TAC/footy club partnership is fraught with danger. They've already had to cut ties with Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong due to player indescretions.

In my view at this point there are two options.

We have one and are waiting for the best time to release it or there is none at this point.

This may be PJ's first failure

It is difficult to find the right time if you don't have one to announce bb.

I would have thought the club was a good      place for a sponsorship right now. 

I find the whole thing very strange...

Maybe companies are still to forgive CS for the way he dealt with sponsorships, no doubt Company CEO's would have talked amongst themselves back then. 

For an emerging AFL Club who is part of a $2 Bill broadcast deal to not have a BOJ Sponsor at the beginning of a season is just wrong...

May well be a storm in a tea cup SWYL. we will know one way or the other in 17 days time.

PJ and co have earnt the right for us to give them the benefit of the doubt. However supporters are naturally wary due to the failures of previous administrations. It's not a big deal at the moment as I have faith that the club are working on this to ensure it gets done by round 1, it's just a little odd at the moment is all especially with our increased exposure and expected upturn in performance.

How can you know..if not announced ? That's my point. Roll them out when you get more of an impact. The club is now very good at keeping mum until it wants to release its news.

Correct bb Patience is a virtue. I look forward to the big announcement.

Young men will never learn not to drink-drive ... but the TAC should know that. They are the slow learners.

Can we not just put AHG on our back until we find a new sponsor?

We look like amateur hour without a back sponsor. I feel like I'm watching the Dees circa 1993.

Whatis the point in that?

telling potential companies that we don't need more sponsorship?

Clown School.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
