If the oft-stated mantra that any publicity is good publicity is actually true, surely the most valuable brand we could put on our jumpers right now would be "Trump" wouldn't it? 

Perish the thought.

It's a shame that we have to have a back sponsor because the clean back look is all class.

We may well have a clean back wether we like it or not CB

That would be one heck of an ambush marketing campaign. But I don't think it's worth selling our dignity. 

I've got faith in PJ that he's out there working on a deal but it's a tough environment and the new Netball league and AFLW hasn't helped. 

At least he can be positive (for now anyway) that the team has something worth investing in.

We need a recognisable sponsor for the back of jumper. When we signed AHG I had never heard of them before. It's been a great move but I feel we need some form sponsorship that is recognisable on a grander scale! 

I feel that you may be misapprehending the fundamental rationale of the sponsorer/sponseree relationship.

Unfortunately by having AHG as FOJS, we have virtually eliminated the possibility of any other vehicle group.

Maybe they should look toward the motorcycle market...

AHG have a land Rover dealership as part of their group so it could work. It may well annoy the other dealers in their group though who aren't land Rover.

I'd like the club to embrace sustainability and partner with Tesla. This might conflict with the current sponsor. 

[Biffen 12,947]

I would like another premiership and for the club and the AFL to quit the discussion of money until they return some value to the founders of the game.

Namely MFC.

I agree dc a Red logo will work well on a white background!

Current sponsor may offer resistance, but watt of it !!

[pineapple dee 2,892]

I told them I would NOT fly China Southern under any circumstances so I guess that rules me out of winning the prize on offer. I suggested any brand which would appeal to young people.

I reckon if we got Target as a sponsor, it might have the added benefit of assisting T Mac with his kicking

Kicking it to players when they're looking in the opposite direction? Though that was Garland...

I saw a link the other day, can't remember if it was facebook or email, but it was for a sponsorship survey from the club. It asked the typical questions around which sponsors you have used in the last year, if you planning on using them in future, are you going to buy a car etc etc etc. 

This was all very boring but the last question raised some interest in me for a few reasons. It was 'who would you like to see as a sponsor of the club'. I am hoping they aren't asking because they are out of ideas and are asking so they can put a case together for a potential sponsor. Although if I was a potential sponsor and the club came and said the fans want it then I may well think they are already on board and therefore there is no reason for the sponsorship. 

Any way I am interested in the answers that would come from this forum to this question. 

My answer was Range Rover. We have traditionally received a ribbing from everyone because we all apparently drive Range Rovers so the brand link is there and we may as well own it, this would also get lots of comedic air time and therefore great publicity for both brands. Both Range Rover and our club are re-emerging good quality premium brands after years in the wilderness being unreliable crap so why not go on the ride together. AHG may have an issue but I think they have Jag/Range Rover dealerships in their network so it could actually be a win win for them.

They were recently looking for a new Partnership Manager, I'm surprised no one from here went for the role.

If we can't find a sponsor for the front of jumper or is it back of jumper? Whatever if we can't find one why not hand over the space to a charity just for one year?  I would put forward World Vision or if we go for environment entity perhaps Bush Heritage, that would be my pick.
