The massive amount of exposure our sponsors are getting post Round 23 is so important. 

Keep winning and it will amplify even more....

    Yes. But am talking September Exposure. 

    Making Finals is what it is all about

    3 or 4 or more Friday night games spread across the whole year can't hurt either.

    That will happen, no doubt about it. 90,000 crowds are noticed. 

    What i am alerting people to is how much more a Sponshorship deal can be with September exposure

    I imagine they write extra bonuses into our contract if we make finals then a GF.  Could bring extra income into the club.  Last year the tigers made a huge profit on the GF win, same with bulldogs previous year.

    Not sponsorship related but given there was 90,000+ last week and probably the same this week does anyone know how the gate is divided and how much extra cash this actually represents?

    you'd think finals alone would see a boost of at least 10k in members.

    As I understand it finals revenue goes in the main to the AFL. The participating clubs are paid to reflect their additional expenses (four more games) but it is nothing spectacular. For example the prize money for the Bulldogs in 2016 was $1M. Not much when you consider clubs asked for more to play one game in China.

    There has been talk of making the prize money for finals substantial but it's all tied up in the equalization discussions.

    An article in the herald sun which I could not access speaks of the AFL making $19M from last years GF.

    For years the prize money for the NAB cup was equal if not higher than that awarded to the premiership team.

     

    "Prize money is awarded to the victorious club.

    However the amount is probably not reflective of the magnitude of participating in the event. It is often assumed simply that the winner of the premiership typically experiences an increase in revenue through increases in membership and merchandise sales.

    The current cash prize for the winning club is A$1 million. Before 2006, a cash prize to the winning club of A$200,000 was awarded (In contrast, the winner of the NAB Cup, the far less important pre-season competition which was held from 1998 to 2013, was awarded a similar amount, A$210,000). Following the Sydney Swans premiership in 2005, many clubs publicly questioned the prize money,[11] which had not increased significantly for many years and barely covered the cost of participation in the finals series."

    PS: Apparently the NRL is even worse when it comes to prize money

    Infinity and Zurich must be licking their lips, having joined relatively late. But Northern Territory, New Balance and Hertz - who have been with us for a while - must be feeling good right about now. Paying off big time after sticking with us. Their stuff is appearing everywhere, and our club is becoming very savvy at ensuring sponsors names/logos are in most photos or media articles. 

    What's important is us, the supporters, remembering to use our sponsors. I have remembered 2 or 3 times after making a purchase and been really annoyed with myself.

    I try and use Hertz when I travel, and I get my share of New Balance apparel (but not shoes - rusted onto Asics), but using China Southern - still working upto that.

    I wonder if Carltons sponsors have asked for less Friday nigjt exposure to help minimise damage to their brand?

    1 Anzac Eve

    Well said, must keep New Balance happy they make quality gear and sponsor the two biggest clubs in the world, MFC and LFC.

    Thats it? If we dont get at least 5 Friday night games, at least 3 as the home team, a bevvy of sat night games then its a complete joke, we've been involved in the best games of the year and play and eye catching brand of football.

    What more does this football club have to do to get more exposure.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
