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'. 😄

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
