Thanks Vagg for making the effort to check them out, not as sexy as Jaguar but Australian owned organisation providing very necessary services similar to Spotless.

Welcome Services.

EnergyWatch was the too-good-to-be-true white knight sponsorship which then allegedly backslid on the actual payment schedule before having to be dumped as a sponsor for reputational reasons... in so far as their CEO/Founder went on a series of bizarre noxious rants.

I was given a packet of Energy Watch branded Sherrins to take back to Africa at the time, thanks to Chris, they were used to spread the word about Aussie Rules, so some little good did come from that episode.

No. But Jaguar only sold 743 cars in Australia last year, and like all models they are imported. They employ fewer than 70 people at their headquarters in Malvern.

That beats Opel by about 740.

Nice!

I think the MFC monogram has been droppefd off the front of the jumper as well? Anyone confirm? Wasn't seen on the jumpers of the new recruits.

The Monogram will sit in the bottom right of the jumper and is now smaller.

Grill’s will remain a major sponsor but won’t have their logo on the front.

The monogram looked very out of place under the Zurich logo

Unbalanced the whole guernsey

And lets not forget the great Kaspersky heist!

I still have and wear my puffy kaspersky laden dees jacket! Whilst wearing it I got head nods walking past Gawny outside gmhba and Jimmy in the crowd at Casey. Both were wearing identical jackets at the time. Treasured item.

Interesting article in the Age today.

Damning…….

Not so reputable after all. We can really pick a sponsor!

https://www.theage.com.au/national/afl-clubs-implicated-with-security-firm-linked-to-finks-bikie-gang-20251127-p5niuz.html

This looks like an early challenge for Paul Guerra to deal with since this revelation that a bikie-linked security firm has a gig with us and is a kind of contra-deal sponsor. Three other clubs involved but I reckon Paul and S Smith's phones are running hot this morning since the article included a shot of the back of our guernsey with offending bikie-firm logo.

It is also at the centre of a secret offshore security deal funded by the Albanese government and involving the Finks bikie gang, the allegedly corrupt Nauruan President David Adeang and a controversial operation to guard the deportees— known as the NZYQ cohort– sent by Australia to the small Pacific island.

So much for due diligence

Contract heading to bin

I hate how sponsor heavy the jumpers are now. Soon enough ours will look like the NRL tops.

One thing we should adopt off the US is clean jumpers/tops, prob one of the few things worth copying them so we won't.

The value of US NFL media rights is so enormous, NFL clubs don’t need sponsor. Clubs don’t need to grovel for loose change.

Did Guerra do this deal?

We already had them as a minor partner last season

Is it the connections with bikies or with Albo that we’re objecting to?

They may not have sponsors on the jerseys yet. But Americans do love their advertisements and marketing. Just see the Superbowl ludicrous price for a 30 second ad.

we sure can pick em

Oh I'm well aware of that, and they are owned by billionaires, I just hate seeing [censored] all over our Jumpers, shorts etc
