I think what you say makes perfect sense. However, some brands will be a tad more aggressive and try to get in front of the wave, not just ride the wave. Then you can build a long-term relationship that can ride the highs and the lows - but I concede easier said than done. But if you remain positive, stay focused and consistent with your message - big brands are always looking for the right opportunity to grow in a partnership.

How many bigger companies are there sponsoring AFL clubs than Zurich? That's a big deal. 

And Infiniti might give us an in with Nissan. Either way, looks good.

Well said we have a very bright future in a very tough environment. Today is another positive day for our club and our new sponsor.

Didn’t he post on Big Footy as Dr Who as a GWS supporter? Always posting anti-Melbourne stuff? 

Not sure on BF, i only read it occasionally, but nothing would suprise me with the good Dr. He is going in hard today, must have spiked the dosage...

That’s the one ding

I should have clicked earlier with his repeated mentions of "Negativity" etc etc

How on Earth is the twit allowed to have an account on here?  At least we dont have to worry about the current site owners selling out. ( Not blaming the owner of Demonology as i understand his health wasnt so great at the time).

Dr Who wasnt even a MFC supporter if my memory is correct.

Well there was a poster on Big Footy called Dr Who use to go for Melbourne then changed to GWS and spent most his time putting down Melbourne. It was sad.

He certainly isn’t now, but all his ideas and statements are brilliant, according to himself...

Sounds like a similiar person. He is a Tiger right now. No idea why he has set up a camp here posing as Demon. 

He was right into Carlscums elite training about 5 seasons ago, that went well....

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

 

 

As far as corporate pep talks went, it was in a class with this.

Come to think of it, had CS gone in and done that in the eve of 148 instead of Neeldy's unblinking serial killer shtick, we may have reduced the margin by at least 4 goals.

This new Infiniti deal is an interesting one. 

Mere speculation only, however I wonder if iSelect's BOJ deal was minimal, but as we wanted to repay the faith, we kept them as BOJ. This then meant we needed to sign another major sponsor to fill the gap in expected BOJ sponsorship.

The only problem with this theory is I'm not sure what Infiniti get out of the deal exposure-wise. Surely, they'd want jumper coverage...?

iselect is a principal sponsor (along with zurich)

infiniti is a major sponsor (along with 8 others)

it would all be decided by $$$$$s

Gotcha. Pays to actually read things properly, eh? ;)

It's a big photoshoot to roll out for a major sponsor. But I like it. Boosts the brand value in the eyes of many. A chance to get more eyes on all our sponsors and a good news story.

"The deal includes INFINITI branding on select team apparel, media walls and inside the team rooms during game broadcasts, hospitality at Melbourne home matches, player ambassadors and game day activation opportunities."

Thanks RD. Yeah, I saw this, but doesn't seem like much if it was a principal sponsorship deal. Turns out I didn't realise there were principal AND major sponsors.

True, I had to actually look up  the difference between principal and major sponsors  on the club website.

I assume Infiniti  would also get to request a certain level of player to be their ambassador. 

Hence Lever, Trac and Hogan in today's photos. They may not be the ambassadors but  are probably indicative of the value of the sponsorship.

I like the idea, good for the club, good for the sponsor - and gives the players a sense of how important they are to us10/10 to everyone.

I believe he was named by Rod Grinter Riot Squad in the fallout from 'Ology folding.

I won't repeat his real name  here as it might be like Beetlejuice in that if you say it enough times, he appears in your direct vicinity.

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

Well done on those at the club who did the hard yards laying the groundwork for the clubs current position. This time last year we didn't have a BOJ sponsor and we've just signed another lucrative sponsor to go with Zurich in the last few months.

Congrats to PJ, Bartlett et al for the work they've done

I think CBF was saying that RGRS named the poster, as in gave his real name, as opposed to was named RGRS

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
