    Heard  from car Industry source that they have not committed and  hearing they may pull out.

    AHG renewed in 2016 for one year only for Front of Jumper only.  To be reviewed in Oct 2017.  I guess the review is happening or has happened.

    If AHG walk away entirely it will be very disappointing.  Our club does not have a good track record of keeping sponsors more than 2-4 years. 

    And, we aren't a destination club for sponsors.

    Not surprised to be honest if true.

    They down graded last year from being the chief sponsor to one of the top two and lost the back of jumper spot.

    I suspect that as we have improved our ability to charge more Has also risen.

    They probably got in at a cheap price originally and now the club wants more.

    We don't have a lot to offer sponsors and I doubt many members buy our sponsors' products and services, without extra incentives. 

    They don't see their logo's run around on FTA TV or in Finals.  We have potential but that is probably wearing thin with sponsors.

    We played the first few months this year without a BOJ sponsor.  It took a long time to get iSelect as BOJ when AHG pulled out. 

    Jackson has a hard sell on his hands.

    For those above reasons locking in every year

    Round 1 & Queens Birthday vs Pies

    Anzac Eve vs Richmond

    Is massive for the club in terms of $$$ and player attraction/retention

    Sorry LH but completely disagree. 

    We had over 800,000 attend our games as well as playing Anzac day eve ( massive) and  QB . We're on the threshold of some sustained success with some of the most exciting players going around. if THATS a hard sell....I'll eat my hat. 

  • Quote

    Agreed we have exciting players and ANZAC Eve and QB are big for our sponsors.  For the same reason I hope Eddie gets the dees vs pies 'blockbuster' opening round game next year.  This will increase sponsor exposure.

    But I feel our sponsors are a bit obscure for the average footy follower so they probably don't get many sales to footy fans.

    It will be interesting to see how long it takes to replace AHG on FOJ and if we keep Southern China Airlines (they signed a mega sponsorship with the Crows this year).  Time will tell.

    It would have helped the cause if we had made finals.

    I bought a car from them when it would have been easier to visit my local dealer LH. I will shortly be in the market again if they are a sponsor I will buy from them. If not I won't. Just a survey of one I guess.

    Has anyone considered that maybe Melbourne is opting for another sponsor? Higher viewersip members and attendance. More sponsor money.

    Playing in September keeps Sponsors happy. 

    It's the only month the TV stations make a profit

    Good summary.

    Cant imagine how anyone can sell sponsorship in today's  tough business conditions whether it be the MFC or any other club. Unfortunately, the MFC is probably a harder sell due to its track record. 

    A national sport (even that's arguable) in a small market, which is still very much state based. I suspect only a small MFC supporter base would have a clue about AHG let alone any other footy fans. 

    Peter Jackson has a big challenge.

    Posted after the filth loss that we are losing AHG. They are pulling out of alll national team sponsorships and putting money into local dealerships who sponsor local teams. The club has 4 options they are working on.

    I suggested some time go that we look to national livestock or meat industry sponsorship.

    An image of players tucking into red and blue meat around a barby would be outrageous

    Happy to provide greater detail if someone from the club is interested

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
