You are just to easily satisfied...

There letting the club off lightly and there's  howling at the moon, we all pot the club when needed, and give the club  credit when deserved,  how is getting a new sponsor a disapointment, let's say well down on this one MFC, look to the future, and wait for something that  goes wrong to pot, no one can be angry at the club all the time, i think this thread is over and should be closed, the question was is there a sponsorship problem? Answer is no there is not, the club was just working through the details

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere on here or if it warrants a seperate thread, but MFC is due to unveil a new major sponsor most likely in mid-January. Haven't heard any precise detai

The wrist slashing on here about sponsorship is astounding. The club under Peter Jackson has done an amazing job. Sponsorship is hard. It's slow dance with uncertain outcomes and difficult negoti

Whatever. Both facets have to work together, but bottom line is wins. 

It amazes me how much slack supporters have given the MFC over the years. 

Each to their own

So how do supporters stop giving so much slack?  Are you suggesting we should have boycotted buying memberships in the last 10 years?  Would that achieve better on-field performance?      A few posts on this forum giving the club an easy ride has bugger-all effect on what actually happens.

Maybe he's suggesting a mass micro waving of memberships, ala Tigers supporters.

Small Companies mate, Zurich aside

The MFC should have the A graders, it just shows how bad things got. 

Players not giving their all in the last 2 rounds of the previous 2 seasons has only made PJ’s job that much harder. 

As the name of the city, to the home of the game we have not modernised well

We'll agree to disagree on the size of those companies.  At the end of the day, if they are willing to pay the $ figure required, I'll take them over a company like Apple, if Apple want to give us SFA.

Let's not forget, sponsorship is one income generator.  Here's something for you to chuckle/cringe at.  Some friends of mine are currently visiting from NZ, and are staying right in the CBD.  They always ask me how the MFC are going, even though they wouldn't know two things about the club.  I receive a message two days ago telling me that he purchased an AFL club shirt - a BLACK AND WHITE one!  Purchased from the CBD, by a non-AFL supporter (he just follows all sports and likes sports merchandise).

I continually bang on about it, but we are missing out on serious income by not having a merchandise store of some sort in the CBD.

We start advertising our brand in the Arrivals lounge of the International Airport, then we have a merchandise presence in the CBD.  It's revenue waiting to happen, and it has got me stuffed why we don't do it.

Doesn't make sense. Are you saying Collingwood has a store in the CBD? I don't think so....

Couldn't agree more.

Or at least have the current store at the MCG open on the weekend.

Or at least have the current store at the MCG located in an easily accessible location.        If possible outside the Gallery of Sport/MCG tours entrance - lots and lots of tourists coming and going with lots and lots of money to spend!

I think the club could sell the back of the shorts to a sponsor for a large sum?

1) We can't unless the AFL say clubs can.

2) No we shouldn't anyway.

3) Excessive sponsor logos cheapen the club's brand dramatically

I assume they've run the numbers and realised that the cost of operating a shop in the CBD would outweigh the financial benefit it may provide. I assume we are living rent-free (or close to) in the MCG Demon Shop so trading that off for a significant increase in rent for a small CBD shop that may sell the odd jumper or scarf to tourists wouldn't be feasible.

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Whiteboard Zone.GraciousPerkyCockatoo-max-1mb.gif

Being a kiwi & just returning from a couple of weeks holidays there .....he would have purchased black & white because it’s NZ national colours.....def not because it’s  Collingwood

"We have locked away some very important deals over the last few years (in particular EnergyWatch) that now underpin our sponsorship revenue,"

It does make sense, given I didn't say Collingwood have a store in the CBD.  They, like a few other clubs, have merchandise available in many places.  The greater presence of their merch will naturally lead to more sales.  Also leads to greater exposure of the individual club.

Potentially rent free, but how much does this reduce our sales by?  If we had to pay (more) rent for a more accessible store in the CBD, you would like to think that this would increase our sales.  We may not make any more from it, but the exposure of our brand would increase, which has the chance to increase potential sponsor exposure.

Wasn't that at all.  He liked the shirt, it was accessible, so he bought it.

Also, a magpie looks a bloody lot different to a kiwi.

If i was looking for Sponsorship exposure i certainly wouldn’t be investing in the MFC this year. 

Our fixture is a nightmare for exposure

Thanks AFL

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
