Yes - fantastic news. The off-field have kept their part of the bargain, now for the footy boys to bring home the bacon!

 

Well done to the club off-field this year, for all the doom and gloom that happened early (and I was extremely worried) it has appeared we have actually managed things very well.

The club has been managed extremely well off field which is what makes the thought of a board challenge laughable. If the team was winning no-one would be questioning the board, Bartlett or Pert. 


We definitely know how to run our media department these days.

I mentioned in the Zurich re-signing thread the other day that we'd have to have signed up Jaguar already too.

Made sense given we'd need financial certainty in order to plan for the million dollar fundraising campaign. I'd say the deal was done just prior to that being announced.

It's great news and wonderful to see another major sponsor re-commit.

Lucky you.

Good to have major sponsors tied up and not worry about empty jumper space.


I've been in a jag once.  Property manager of the apartment gave me a lift back to the office to sign the lease.

Good times.

Sponsorship contracts are usually full of multiple exposure kickers.

Unfortunately I doubt we hit any of them for 2020.

Will be interesting to see how much red ink there is in the annual report.

A repeat of poor on field performances (especially in the first 5-6 games of the season), lower memberships and compromised crowds due to covid will test us severely in 2021. 

Each organisation's brand characteristics accurately reflects that of the other.

Great that Jaguar stuck fat in these times that have been tough for everyone.  Great work by Gary Pert.

The GF Kit photos just made me think of Jaguar and how they stuck with us, which surprised me somewhat. 

Definitely a good gamble on their behalf

On a per capita of Jaguar drivers in Melbourne I would say 99% are Melbourne fans 😂

Yeah look if they gave us a 57% discount if we break our 57 year premiership drought I will go buy a wheel or a keychain with all the money at my disposal.

Anyone know if Jaguar are coming back next season?

Seeing lots of other clubs rolling out 2022 guernseys and hoping we don't have to wait too long for our gold logos.

Not many comments re Pert being the wrong guy in this thread.

I’ll say it - he’s the wrong guy. We have succeeded in spite of him.

We’re very fortunate the football dept culture has been built strongly before his time, because he’s not the man to do it.

I’m also not going to applaud the guy for managing to re-sign a major sponsor following a flag. Setting the bar fairly low.

 

Hopefully we get Jaguar back in board.  Supported us before we were premiers.  
 

Though I’m sure the sponsorship $$ have risen by at least 20% for 2022.
 

we are the Premiership team.  Lots of exposure.  Lots of merchandise.

Your an embarrassment to yourself Mach 5 ( or should it be Mach --5 ) because that's how low you stoop. 

If Perty has something in the Closet you are  either too embarrassed to mention OR it's just a despicable and underhand fake attack on our Club Administration leader who has  plenty of credits in the Bank.

No matter how you try to  discredit Gary your not succeeding and the likelihood of a very personal and false attack is greater but more in vain and less likely after every success our CEO is ticking as the weeks and days go by.

You probably are trying to water down the enormous effects that our Premiership is having as it brings more praise on the Club, our Officials and our players as each day goes by!

Give it a rest ie put up with the facts or please SHUT UP.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
