Seems to be as strong a sponsor as we have had for some time - to cover both AFL and AFLW shows that Zurich truly sees the value in our relationship. Our leading community programs and players (i.e Nev Jetta) help differentiate us from other clubs. 

Anyone know who has been our longest serving main / principle sponsor?

    Good Question! I seem to remember Drake being around for a while back in the 80s or 90s??

    Certainly won't be Energy Watch !

    According to http://www.footyjumpers.com/melbourneS.htm, seems Drake at 6 continuous years between 1985 - 91 are currently the longest serving principal sponsor, with LG & Mayne Nickless at 5 years. Zurich would be close to the longest sponsor if they end up renewing again after 2023.

    Would that be Drake? They were on board in the 1980's through to 1991.

    1992- Snowy mountain spring Water 

    1993 - Pioneer Homes

    1994 to 1997 - Tooheys

    1998 to 2003 - LG

    2004 to 2008 - Primus

    2009 to 2011 - Kaspersky and Hankook

    2012 to 2013 - Opel & Webjet

    2014 - 2017 - AHG 

    2018 to 2023 - Zurich

    We got a good run out of LG in the late 90's/early 2000's.

    How are we going to fit them into the cap? They won't come cheap.

    Wouldn’t worry; just here for insurance…

    Was going to ask how long Tooheys was on board, thanks. Hertz have been around for a long time. I had a training jumper in the mid 80s with Hertz across the front.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
