MELBOURNE is pleased to announce a new partner, with Torrens University joining the club for at least the next three years.

A private higher-education provider, Torrens University will be the Official Education Partner of the Demons and will provide tertiary education opportunities for their AFL and AFLW players, coaches, staff and members.

The partnership will also see students connect with the club, in-line with Torrens University’s integrated learning approach, and look to offer professional industry placement in students’ chosen fields.

Pub ownership??

George de Crespigny has been brilliant for us in Commercial. Another astute pick up from S.A. 

 

Good to see another sponsorship on board, well done MFC.

The only thing missing now and has been for a number of years is consistently winning.

Up to you now boys.

This arrangement should really help with our learnings.

I'll see myself out.


Very handy partnership.

Oddly enough, I know a bit about Torrens because quite recently they acquired the specialist university (Blue Mountains International Hotel School) that my wife did her Masters' Degree at.

Couple of things of interest;

* They are actively expanding through acquisitions of highly rated specialist providers (such as BMIHS mentioned above) with the goal of having a top status as an industry and professional oriented tertiary educator.

* Many of their partners within the 'Torrens family' have very large international student proportions based on the somewhat lower fee bracket for industry-targeted degrees compared to, for example, Melbourne Uni or Sydney Uni prestige degrees.

We may actually just have set up a partnership with a potential big expander once international student numbers begin to grow again post vaccine (touch wood) because they had the deep pockets to survive the crisis while a lot of the actually crappy providers (Jim and Denise's Australian Hospitality Degrees Ltd.) have packed it in.

Great intel @Little Goffy - did you know this off the top of your head?

Knew about it because when they took over BMIHMS (BIHIMSBHIMSBMSHIBH? That lot - where my wife had been studying) we did some digging to figure out who they were and to make sure her degree hadn't suddenly become worthless. 


I've been doing my best to refrain from posting but there's a clear connect-the-dots being missed here. As many may recall, Alex Neal-Bullen was one of three AFL/AFLW players recently awarded a full scholarship. It was from Torrens University, as part of their partnership with the AFLPA. A nice pick-up in alignment terms.  

As long as Demetriou is not involved with Torrens then it’s another big win for the club! Well done team.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
