Interesting article in the Herald sun today about the Dockers.

As a MFC supporter the thing that stood out to me was the statement that LG Sponsorship of Fremantle is the most valuable football sponsorship in Australia, across all codes.

How valuable was assesed would be interesting to know. I wonder where our deal with Primus ranks.

    Our deal with Primus would be more than our previous deal with LG but less than Freo's deal with LG.

    IIRC, our LG deal also had a large contra element, something that didn't help pay our ATO debts.

    I don't know if this is true but its the Internet so who cares.

    The story I heard is that the players PAYG tax was not paid for a considerable amount of time(30% of a $1million cap + interest is a fair whack even for 1 season). The tax bill was discovered while cleaning out the desk of a departed CEO in the early 2000's. This was a significant contribution to the debt the current administration inherited and a fair indictment of the competence of the previous administration.

    As for the LG deal, a significant amount was contra goods, the value was counted in the sponsorship as retail value. So if we had 5 T.V's from LG to raffle @$2000 each that contributed $10k of the sponsorship. All well and good if you can realise the full contra value, something the new board must have decided we were not going to acheive.

    When it came to the Primus deal, I think LG were at a similar total sponsorship value or maybe even more but it was knocked back because with the Primus package we had 100% certainty as to what revenue it would generate. Plus I think the CEO is a good dees man!

    I have nothing to do with the club so this could all possibly be rubbish but hope it helps. :D

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
