Oh Darn! We might only get $250000 per year. Let's forget it!

Again, take off what we're getting from the sponsor we have at the moment that you're going to replace...

    Give them a spot on the coaches and Traners collar back of the Primus quarter time banner spots signage at the MCG and on our press conference banner, won't conflict with any other sponser. Even if we get 2-300,000 we wouldn't of budgeted on this.

    Better still Team Melbourne get the deal for the full 500,000 + some

    You win, Hards.I can't compete with this hide-bound negativity. Take your half-mill., TAC, and get out of our hair!

    It's not hide-bound negativity, it's reality. Clubs can't have more than one major sponsor, there isn't room, and potential major sponsors will not want to share. When they get a new, very large sponsorship deal, it is always at the expense of an old one. Hards is spot on.

    There's thinking outside the square, and then there is thinking outside the planes of reality.

    Agreed and well said Nasher.

    So if the TAC approaches MFC with a sponsorship of $300k a year for a series of ads, we tell them to p*ss off! We don't have to take them on as our 'major' sponsor.

    Sponors can be serviced in many ways.

    Alternatively do we tell our existing major sponsor to p1$$ off and lose their sizeable sponsorship and incur all the bad blood in the industry for doing that. As a small club we struggle for sponsors and that would not be the way to go.

    I dont think it is as simplistic as you would like it to be.

    A major sponssor is your primary sponsor and enjoys precedent promotion opporutunities from their association with MFC. If MFC have a contractual agreement already with a major sponsor, it will depend upon that contract and what conditions TAC want for their $300,000. If it could be accomodated with the existing arrangements as a secondary sponsor then fine. But you are whistling dixie, if you think TAC will want to go from being a major sponsor at a big crowd pulling club and being a secondary sponsor at a small club with poor exposure and support. I dont see the sense. And if TAC do then they will price the downgrade accordingly. $300,000 would be a steal for MFC. I bet for the same money TAC could achieve its objectives better elsewhere through another Club

    How many sponsorships of whatever category does Collingwood have in comparison to Melbourne? I'll bet that it's a lot more in terms of numbers and of sponsorship dollars. If we can cop $300k to $500k from an additional sponsorship like TAC I reckon we grab it and we make sure that all of our players understand the responsibility that goes with it as well as the benefits for the club, themselves and their supporters.

    All the Clubs have their major sponsors organised, so I presume the TAC knows that it won't be emblazoned across the front of the successful applicants' jumpers. If there's up to a half-mill. a year up for grabs, I have full confidence in our Club's admin. to be in there negotiating. They will have the expertise to avoid disenchanting sponsors already signed up.

    I'm sure they won't have Hard's and Rhino's "it's all too difficult, let's give up" attitude.

    TAC has received its pound of flesh for its advertising dollar. I'm all for getting sponsorships but the TAC thing doesn't excite me in the way it leaves a sword over the heads of your players.

    Besides they only have to look at how some of our players have handled themselves over the off season and I doubt they would be interested.

    Let them sponsor Hawthorn or West Coast.

    it leaves a sword hanging over their heads. are you for real. there would have to be very extreme circumstances to justify someone drink driving. 99% of the time it comes down to attitude. the attitude of wankers. while Melbourne`s public transport isnt great there are enough services along with non English speaking cabbies to not have to drive. i didnt realise Brock, Nathan and Jarred were done for DD whilst overseas.

    TAC sponsorship is a poisoned chalice and not worth pursuing regardless of our financial position.

    Until the Mormons field a footy team only foolhardy clubs would accept such a deal.

    Those with short memories might have forgotten our captain getting turfed out/having an altercation at the taxi stand at the Crown casino, not to mention the photo of some of our key players [censored] to the eyeballs on their recent overseas jaunt. And I won't even begin to list young Col's drunken indiscretions.

    Forget it.

    I'm glad you regard my observations as 'good thinking' Jumping Jack.

    Forget upper and lower case and appropriate punctuation; it's more like a packet of Tom Thumbs going off under your post/ clacker rather than the old Jumping Jack fireworks.

    Regardless of your passion for the club dollar the downside, if the deal went bad, is further negative publicity for our club that can ill-afford it. If the deal soured, it would make us more financially vulnerable than ever. Unlike Collingwood which has a reserve of dollars, investments and members to draw on.

    We don't have that luxury but neither should we embrace the first unthought option.

    maximum bob, try supporting your arguments with facts rather than 'ifs'. Subsequent to losing their TAC sponsorship, the Tigers this year recorded a record profit of over $1m. Not saying that there is any correlation between the two.

    For goodness sake get real. It's fact not 'ifs'.

    Every club has its quota of [censored]-head idiots (or no head in one case) and we're part of that percentile. If you think otherwise you've never been near a senior sports club in your life. Yes, even the AFL! Even a little knowledge of the litany of VFL/AFL players' misdemeanours/felonies would inform you let alone some knowledge of what the MFC has worn or hidden over the years.

    Facts are numerous. If I started a list I'd end up in court. Get some knowledge and learn your history before having a go at me.

    As I said, forget the TAC as a sponsor.

    On what basis is this statement factual?

    Watch out, Demonlanders! That mafia-boss lookalike that North poached from Collingwood, Eugene Arocca, will bring the TAC sponsorship( that we should be earnestly chasing) across to the Kangaroos, despite lack of members, and guernsey advertising space!

    pretty sure Grey Gloabl is the advertising company TAC uses. Hope our Chairman is on the case on this one !

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
