He run out Nippy’s?

Keilty, D has been a fantastic contributor since Dec was picked up.

dd why would they schedule it in this year if they didn’t think it would provide much value? Just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Thanks D, do appreciate the efforts you go to. Overall doesn’t have a great feel about it. If we fall over late in the season, fail to run out games at any point, make a final but don’t perform then players “conditioning” comments will not mean much.

So D based on the fact Goody wasnt happy the players are going to be flogged on the track for the next few weeks? What were the players issues? They used bricks instead of sand last year? Dom fell over?

Great so no free games to developing players. Just pick the best side for each week. Win at all costs.

Sorry I meant the original comment, Goody won’t pick the best side, just the side he likes that day?

Why does that even mean?

Stakeholders who have larger opportunities you might be able to tap into. Coterie is key as well, the big business guys in those, Presidents functions you get to chat to people etc etc. All plays into it.

The more relevant qs for the Dees is does the NT $$ outweigh potential lesser $$ they may receive by playing in NT, do those 2 games scare off sponsors? Our partner plays some games in Tassie, we don't sell our product in Tassie so it decreases the value for us but overall we see it is good value even though Tassie games don't help us.

Working for a small corporate who does sponsor an AFL team and having worked at a medium corp who sponsored the Hawks there are so many layers to these kinds of things. Is it a brand only play? If so how much is the spend/over how many years? How long is the season so the brand is in play for as long as possible? Can you use those $$ in other ways to drive more brand or sign ups? Can you get more eyeballs through a billboard on Citylink or more from digital spend than this sponsorship? How big is the member base/how much access to them do you get to pitch your product (whats the reach)? Is the club on the up and potential for new members in yrs 2 and 3 etc. Does the product you have align/can it be sold to the members/fans? What kind of acquisitions do you think you can get out of the members and other fans who may see your product? The old company did well out of Hawks, they signed up just before hawks won the first of the 4 flags. Lower cost, lower CPA for first couple of years, decent take up by members with an ok CPA. How well do you work with the club? We have an awesome relationship with our club who work hard to provide value to the partner. In our case what kinds of values does the club have and do they align with or exceed our values? We are constantly pitched to by NRL clubs... no fkn wwwaaayyyy mate! What kind of access can you get to other sponsors/partners/anyone else associated with the club or code? etc etc It is pretty subjective especially if it is a brand play only (but clubs provide "value metrics" you need to pick apart), acquisitions and CPAs are easy to measure.

So that is not far away? Maybe they will use sand bags this year.

Hopefully no bricks involved.

Saty, I know it's your opinion but not really his choice if he is a fan of the running or not, you want to be the best then you need to do it.

It was 1 contest of 1 drill and a terrible kick, don’t read too much into it. edit: ^ as he said.

Good story, committed to the cause. Go Rocky!

An old Raptors top maybe?

Agree, but also some on ground leadership ie who is helping him stay focused during the on ground time while he isn't having a rest on the bench or during breaks in the qtrs. I think that is an area the team as a whole needs to improve on, the leadership of on ground talking/coaching when needed.

I hope they turn out and don't have an indoors session for you MD.

Seems totally reasonable considering the charges and comment from a poster who said they saw him the same day wandering around south bank. Its just pretty jarring to see that the court thinks he needs to be mentally assessed.

Wow wee on a couple of levels. breaches bail, but no conviction... He’s being psychologically assessed... The cheeky bugger who did the spidey image... Pick fkn 3... only 31...

Gebus he is a big unit?! Look at how small the pill looks in his hand.

Gebus, so does Peds! Will he get to 100 games for the club?
