Surely we could get someone. It's r4. I mean how long have we known we have needed one? Don't we have people working in sponsorship. Come on PJ, you have delivered us a lot of good but sponsorship brings in revenue. It does look a tad strange with a bare back. Also radio commentators pic up on it and comment how it's unbelievable we cannot find a sponsor. 

Someone out there just sign us up.

It has to be a massive hit to what would have been budgeted for if we don't get a BOJ sponsor. No way the club planned not to have one. I'm not really sure, but I had the impression BOJ sponsorship was worth $500K.

 

It's worth $1m.

The Club are still talking to 2 suitors. One is a beverage company.

Oh my. It was probably Coopers and we nearly ended up with another Energy Watch on our hands right before the start of the season. Would make sense to hold off the announcement for a few weeks.

I noticed yesterday that the coaches box doesnt have a sponsor on the front of it either. Surely someone out there wants to take  a gamble on us. Hey if you sponsor us we will certainly give you an interesting ride. It would just be nice for somoene to sponsor us. anyway surely it's the role of the President along with others to try and do this. Is Glen Bartlett actually doing anything?

This would be a good fit, nickname-wise anyway. If we didn't already have AHG, and if they were going to export these into Australia, which they're not.

I'm not into cars but this thing is insane. I would be on the phone asking for a branded donation for local Dodge-Dees cross-promotional purposes. Would look great with a blue yoke as well. They could parlay the exposure into the Dodge Journey (and its corny narrative) - which, ahem, fits well with our supporter demographic. AHG represent Dodge, so maybe they wouldn't mind, or could get behind it?

That was hardly the same situation. They held a completely rational and balanced discussion about gay marriage that was blown out by hyperventilating activists. Comparing that with outright racist comments by the Energy Watch guy is just silly.

Obviously potential sponsors don't think we are the real deal yet. Saturdays game won't change that perception.

Correct

Victoria Bitter has recently pulled the pin on sponsoring the Australian Cricket team. Coincidence?

Having said that, if we have a beer company be prepared for plenty of whinging about it not being a good look for a family-friendly sport. I'm not a beer drinker, but I'm perfectly happy to have a beer sponsor.

Interesting topic sponsorship.

Its not always about the team being 'winners'

Sponsorship can often be more about Brand awareness.

If only about riding a winner then a lot of shows and mags would be bereft of any (ads)

Im sure there is any number of potential sponsors. I also suggest that the club is waiting to clinch a 'best offer' 

Bit like keeping your powder dry.

It's about timing.

Nothing to worry about here imho

I doubt that we are going to get back the dollars we have lost for the year to date, so it is a concern. Any deal that comes later in the season will be pro rated for the remaining period. Our middling form and ladder position is going to hurt us further still.

I think it is fairly safe to say at this point poita that there is no one waiting in the wings.

We are now discussing 2018.

You're making a political comparison. I was making a marketing comparison. And in this sense, Coopers would have actually been far far worse than Energy Watch. Energy Watch was a failure of due diligence and we immediately cut our ties. To announce Coopers after their bad press - whether you accept it as reasonable or not - would have been to have aligned ourselves with their perceived values.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
