No, but you might get 50% off a trip to Switzerland instead!

It is great they got them deal done before the start of the season, the issue just is the lost merchandise revenue by having the deal done so late.

 

I can understand frustration on this point, but surely it's much more important that both parties are comfortable on signing off on what is a large money deal?

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 negotiations. Yet some here think the club should update members every 2 seconds about why they haven't filled a sponsor position. These people frankly have no idea how difficult it is. There aren't 100 sponsors waiting in the wings to throw $2-3m a year at the club. 

Well done to the admin of our club. Quality sponsor.

I'm surprised they jumped on board.. after our round 23 debacle last year, I'd thought we'd never get a major sponsor again.

They just purchased OneCare insurance from ANZ Wealth.

Will be interesting times, I think the deal makes them Australia's largest insurer now, overtaking TAL.

They take ownership of it later in the year

Waah, no sponsor, waah, no sponsor. Nek minut - sponsor? Waah, why not a better one? Get a life. PJ would [censored] himself laughing at some of the [censored] written on here by the MFCSS brigade.

Not to mention telling every supporter everything about everything, at the MFC, whether it's sensitive information or not. 

I wait for the complaint that supporters should be told the team each week, even before it is selected.

Apparently a Geelong supporter questioned Chris Scott about having no "plan B" at the Geelong AGM :laugh:

I mean, there's holding the club accountable and then there is just unbridled stupidity

does this mean we get a huge swiss insurance company AND a japanese luxury car brand

Well, you're going to want to have good insurance for the car, aren't you?

Zurich is big on life insurance, I wonder what their actuaries will make of MFCSS?

Congrats to PJ and the club on this. Zurich is a great get, a well respected global company and a sponsor who should appeal to our membership base. Hopefully this is the beginning of a long term partnership akin to Sydney/QBE.

Speaking of Mr. Jackson he leaves at the end of the year and there was going to be understudy in place this year to take over from him in much the same way they handled the coaching transition. No replacement announced yet that I have heard is there any news out there?
Time marches on.

Not sure this is a sexy enough announcement (the understudy) to bother making public. The replacement is though.

Just supports the argument that R23 would only be a very minor consideration in the minds of sponsors, however hard it was to bear as a supporter.

I would have thought the missed opportunity to give the sponsors more exposure by playing extra games in September would absolutely be a major consideration. Any other scenario doesn't really make sense from a business perspective.

Hopefully PJ extends his tenure at the MFC by a few more years.

Fairly confident that wont happen Mr. Leg.

He announced his leaving plan last year so just wondering who the replacement might be.

So it is not possible to ask the question Wise one?

Seems to me it is just a question about who the replacement for PJ the man who saved us from extinction might be.

I am truely sorry that you see this as negative.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
