    it ain't 1964, 64. that just doesn't cut it anymore.

    Cut what? The links between supporter and member alliances with the team and the rights of the club to ignore these for the sake of some short-term, corporate influence? Do we really want our team to be an advertising agency for greedy business interests? Nothing more silly than seeing a footballer hired to advertise on behalf of a 'sponsor'. I'd support 64, above, in this case.

    If we want our team to survive in the modern era then yes...

    There are many things I would like to be, times to go back to but unfortunately time waits for no one 'Deemania'.

    I suspect there is no one waiting in the wings.

    Yes... but isn't that the issue. Saints along with us, North and Dogs are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to sponsor attraction.

    never said it was the issue, dj.......i just thought it was funny they would highlight it like that......ymmv

    I wouldn't want to be announcing a new sponsor any time in the next fortnight. The Australian Open will be consuming virtually all the media interest. Any leftovers will be absorbed by the Big Bash League.

    Handy ldc when there probably isn't one to announce.

    Also have you heard Djokovic's comments today?

    He announced today at a meeting of players that they should make a breakaway group because they are not getting paid enough.

    A loser today in the first round gets $60k.

    When greed is being thrown at the general public it is probably not good to be announcing sponsors tipping in money to professional sports people.

    Being a professional loser can be very lucrative in todays world ? 

    MFC players have been overpaid for a very long time

    For example, Bernard Tomic. Although he possibly hasn't yet worked out how much of a loser he actually is.

    Tomic got $30,000 for yesterdays loss

    Sponsorship is a two way street - generally you look for positive communities, young vibrant and forward thinking with the propensity to spend, spend, spend. 

    I'm not sure that is our claim to fame as a community - dare I use the word negative !!!

    I understand equalisation through the salary cap and i understand that you have to offer competitive contracts to keep a player. What irked me was that you had to pay 90% of the salary cap when it was obvious that our during our dark times the difference in talent between our players and the "Hawthorns" was not a 10% differential. Our players were well and truly overpaid because we had to.

    Nutbean I believe that the figure was reduced to 95% some years ago.

    I am confident but I would bet your leftie on it.

    That as you say makes it even worse

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
