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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
