    I reckon they're getting their money's worth out of the club website 'All of the Melbourne Goals' segment this year!!!

    (They're also getting their money's worth out of my current renovations, too!)

    The paint on the laundry ceiling of my apartment is already peeling off in large flakes despite allegedly having been redone before we moved in. Clearly an inferior brand of non-Melbourne-sponsoring paint. You'd never get such failure from our esteemed friends at Haymes Paint!

    Only one small outlet in my part of the world (Canberra), but I make the effort to buy Haymes whenever I need paint.  Excellent product and worth the effort ....... and thanks Haymes for being long-term sponsors of our Club!

    I'd buy Haymes but in NNSW it's hard to get and certainly impossible with the member discounts.

    The painter we use at work says  "is very good quality" and Pete's the best painter in town. (I kid you not)

    Never heard of them and never noticed their logo at any of our games. Their marketing team needs to lift.

    I’ve painted a few murals with Haymes paint, and it really is a very good quality product. The Port Melbourne guys are really nice and very knowledgeable.

    Pretty sure they sponsor all the quarter time/half time activities the Robbo hosts like kicking the footy into the giant paint tin or whatever else they do. They used to do the speckies until some guy almost necked himself

    Bump, this is what I wrote in another thread and no I don't have any other connection with the company.

    Great Sponsor, great product. Get behind a Victorian company.

    I've been sprucing up the property recently and the double discount has been saving me a lot of dollars. Sign up for a Haymes discount card and then show your MFC members card.

    Yes I live in Ballarat but seriously the product they produce is awesome and at a seriously competitive price.

    The number of memes I currently have in my head involving Haymes white paint, which would in-turn result me in being banned (if created and posted) is frightening.

    For full effect, they should rebrand as Harmes Paint 

    Or he could change his listed name for a week to James Haymes! ?

    Being in the business of specifying paint brands/colours, Haymes stands out for coverage and colour saturation. Great product and loyal sponsor. 

    Might have to make use of that coverage and saturation to paint my boys bedroom in navy blue with red V's.  My laundry needs a paint too, so might give that the same treatment.

    Heck, if we win a premiership, I'll paint the whole of [censored] Brisbane red and blue in quality Haymes paint.  Making me think that Haymes should officially mix up and brand a MFC paint range of red and blue paints (they can forget about the white used in those pox clash strips consigned to the garbage).

    I thought they already did.  Maybe it was a pigment of my imagination.

    Workman doing renovation at my house use Haymes Paint. They said it's the best quality.

    I personally have used their Woodcare "Dexpress" Merbau on the outside deck. Comes up a treat and lasts much longer with more "lustre"than Cabots or British paints that I have used before.

    What a coincidence.

    I directed my on call work crew to strip the Cabots they just put on my deck at my chalet at Thredbo and replace with the Woodcare "Dexpress" Merbau.

    Then asked them to do the same for my little shack at Wye River.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?
