Shout out to our sponsors

Probably a very short-lived thread, not being of great interest, and probably eliciting 'they're-only-in-it-for-themselves' reactions, but this was a nice story, about a sponsor that has attracted my loyalty (and also sponsors a nice weekly Club website piece - although it's a tad awkward when we lose and/or don't kick many goals!) It also made me reflect on the validation we get when entities want to align with us. So, anyway, thanks sponsors!

(p.s. Curious that Kate got the gig, rather than Daisy?)

    Nothing wrong with giving a shout out to a good local brand that supports Australian made and keeping jobs here. 

    10 years of support in this day and age of AFL sponsorship is something to be proud of 😀

    Thank you, Haymes!

    The mural looks stunning, would love to see it irl to fully appreciate it.

    As to your question about Kate getting the gig, I’d say it’s because she’s our current captain. Got a feeling she’ll be our captain for quite some time yet. ❤️💙

    I thought all that, too, W, but Kate's and Max's presences then represent the present and near-to-(as I equally expect)-mid future, whereas the '10 things in 10 years' theme was about those 10 years, where Daisy and Max were generational presences and representative of one of those 10 things - three reigning premier teams in 2020.

    But all this is very much a sidebar to the sponsorship/s and the mural as an outcome of one of them. Nice to see it in the background of the AMW vids, too!

    Thanks Timothy R-B Haymes is a great Sponsorship story and great products, I did a lot of painting with two of my daughters over summer and used Haymes exclusively (20% member discount), friendly helpful staff at their Epping Store. I think that if Daisy was still associated with MFC she would have got the gig whereas Kate is in our colours and Captain.😁

    Yes, that is rather relevant atm, eh!

    There's room on the wall for when the blue and gold is swapped back for the red and blue, in time for '20 things from 20 years'. 😄

    • 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.
