Not sure about that. I met a guy at training one day who introduced himself as RGRS. Seemed OK! Could have been lying?

You did meet me.

 

I wasn’t DrWho, but called him out by name for the damage he did to ‘ology.

Not named as @jnrmac but named by. RGRS was the person who first mentioned his real name on this forum as a call to arms to abandon 'Ology before the Doctor got his mitts onto it.

Love what PJ and team are doing to grow the club, now come on boys time to deliver on field.

As to the good Dr, I do love how he ignores the negative comments about him and responds to other comments, just a little odd. Doesn’t he have a brother who was in cahoots on the ‘ology hostile takeover?

We nearly got to sign Tampax but the market was already saturated.

Yep. That would be them.

The owner was struggling health wise and those two got in his ear about taking the site off his hands.

Within 10 minutes of taking over, he was on his soapbox talking about how only 'positive' discussion would be allowed and that critical posters would be banned.

You would be known in the pro wrestling industry as a 'heel heat magnet'.

First move was to ban me ?

lol what a badge of honor to wear.

The Muppet was a complete 'Tard who, as another poster already pointed out, was only going to allow "positive" comments to be posted on Demonology. This was while our team was busy proving itself to be the worst team in AFL/VFL history besides the latter year Fitzroy Lions.

The forum would have only contained posts from himself and his brother.

Get rid of him i say.

I remember the day well.

As an aside, does the old midnight server version of 'Ology still have any active posters? Or is Doctor Who like that last Japanese soldier who refused to believe the war was over?

I think it was almost like a run on the banks with everyone moving to the new site at the first possible chance.

Tar and feather him... hang him... burn him!!!

I actually think it’s an amazing example of the care you need to take online. They’ll never get away from it especially on here, and so be it, the seeds you sow, but the digital footprint is an interesting one.

So let me get all this straight. The poster in question (who was butting heads with SWYL earlier) 

- is actually a Richmond supporter/employee

- an online saboteur who launched a ‘Hundred Flowers’ style campaign after a subversive coup d’état of a former Dees fan page

- goes on another site claiming to be a supporter of a third club

- has had multiple aliases after multiple bans from said sites 

 

This all sounds like the work of someone with way too much time on their hands.

Or the Russians.

You thought Zurich made Japanese cars? Or do they just offer cheap insurance on Japanese luxury vehicles?

Two fantastic sponsors for the 2018 year, well done PJ well done MFC - fantastic day for our club. Looking forward to the business luncheons - I'm in again for sure this year. Would be sensational to maybe this year hear a touch more from the sponsors with a guest speaker from one of the companies. But I'm their either way ... 

Go Dees

I take it the problem we have is too many sponsors wanting to get onboard.

Hate to rain on the parade but of course while we have another sponsor we have no idea of what they are paying by comparison to the sponsors of others clubs.

Having seen some sponsorship contracts many years ago they are driven by exposure bonuses etc. On the good side there is probably a bonus for finals appearances!!

I haven’t read the amount and no idea either what they’re paying by comparison to other clubs, only that it is seven figures. If I remember correctly iSelect’s contract is up at the end of the season, I wonder if INFINITI will take over as a Co-Principal sponsor.

3 x $1m sponsors is the same income as 1 x $3m sponsor.

Here's an Age article from 2015 talking of different AFL sponsorship deals.

While figures may have changed there is no reason to think the relativities have changed.

"Hawthorn last season booked $15 million of marketing income, which includes sponsorship deals. With the addition of Audi and the hopeful retention of BUPA, a 20-year sponsor of the club, that figure could top $16 million next year. Collingwood generates more than $19 million a year in marketing revenue. At Essendon the figure $17.7 million.

In contrast, the Bulldogs booked just $7.5 million of "business development" income, which includes sponsorship. The Saints did even worse, earning just $5.5 million from sponsorship and events."
