Well, Coopers does make some sense to me. It's evident they're making a big push into Melbourne, nabbing the Australian Open from Heineken, and they're prominent in the SANFL, with naming rights for The Parade in Norwood. Seems a decent fit. Can we sign a non-CUB deal?

We will have something done this year, we will just miss out on full value for year one.

How did it come to this?

I'm staggered that we've missed out  on a chunk of sponsorship revenue despite having one of the supposedly best AFL club CEO's of all time. 

Even when we bush league standard in 2013 we had sponsors on the front and back of our jumpers.

Is it possible with the Coopers controversy recently that we've held off announcing them as a sponsor until the heat dies down?

That was my original (half-joking) speculation a page back. But it could also be a matter of ironing out the contract legalities with the AFL for a non-CUB deal - or, more simply, CUB seems to be going through a marketing restructure at the moment and it might just be them just feeling their way through. All guesses.

Keep in mind we may have been only getting bush league dollars then. I have no idea why we don't yet have a BOJ sponsor, but refusing to sell the space at a discounted (bush league) price might be a reason.

Incorrect. One of the companies we are progressing talks with has already been mentioned in this thread. We will have something done this year, we will just miss out on full value for year one.

Selling at a bottom of the barrel price by devaluing the product every which way but loose. 

PJ and Co. could have done the nice "PR" thing and put Reach on their for 6 weeks but that would have just brought the price down.

Not sure that that is the case. Good deeds tend to get rewarded.

You could argue that having Reach on the back would have created exposure and awareness re the sponsorship opportunities that the jumper provides. PJ at the AGM impied (can't remember exact words) that we were going to sign someone up soon.

The lack of communication from the club on this matter makes this doubley (pretty sure this isn't a real word) annoying!

Predicting a bad outcome on Monday Azz?

Apart from that, i meant the BOJ sponsor. They knew they were doing this for Anzac day so are waiting until after it to announce new sponsor. Or PJ is a tardburger who has no idea what he is doing and should really start to read what we say on Demonland and act accordingly.

I have no inkling as to what is going on

but i find it both strange and quite frankly sad that we the Oldest Sporting Club on earth cannot get a Sponsor on our jumper with the amount of exposure that Sponsor would get. 

Makes no sense.

Would you also find it sad if we signed up some unknown dog food company just to have a sponsor for the sake of it?

No not at all. I find it sad that as a member of the number 1 sport in the country we cannot sell sponsorship. Companies should be bidding for space considering the exposure AFL gets year round now

I find it sad that the last decade has scared sponsors off.  I do not blame them.

It will change though and us not having a BOJ for a year will not bury us.

Not disagreeing mate. It just makes it harder to climb back up. 

The AFL isn't going to give us too much of a draw if we cannot attract Sponsors. 

That said i would prefer nothing to an "Energy Watch" alternative.

Yeah that's what I was saying with the dog food comment. I would rather nothing that some dinky company getting cheap advertising at the expense of the oldest spoting club in the world.

We are already at the bottom, up is the only way to go from here.

There are a lot of dogs out there as well as loving dog owners. A dog food manufacturers money is as good as any.

Yep exactly the same colour.

As long as they are ethical and not gambling I don't care who they are.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
