New Major Sponsor - Jaguar CONFIRMED
Correct LDC but IMO they have a big job in front of them because the product is average. They don't get much in the way of good reviews from the Motoring Press. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but again only my view but they look average and are expensive. However they are part of the Nissan/ Mitsubishi/ Renault group that sold the most vehicles in 2018 on a world basis so who knows how committed they are to the Australian market. Like our team 2019 will be an interesting year. I doubt they will be able to say they did not get plenty of exposure. Who knows what advertisers feels is good value for money. Jeep has been a Richmond major sponsor now for years and all through the Tigers run up to the flag and beyond Jeep sales have fallen. One view from that is without the Tigers exposure they would have fallen further. My view is they should be selling a better product and the money spent at Richmond is not doing much to help them. But perhaps wisely Jeep do not agree with me.

A small comment on one of our major sponsors. Lexus sold more cars in Jan. 2019 than Infiniti sold for all of 2018. It seems the Dees have the job in front of them getting Infiniti up in 2019.

Just not necessary to maintain my support SWYL. It probably puts me in a very small group of members ( I doubt it is more than 2 ) but just they way I feel. If it happens I will enjoy as much as everyone else.

Still don't see any need to rush with a contract for him. Like you I want the MFC as a power in the AFL long after I shuffle off. As long as that happens then wether we win a flag or not is minor to me in my years left. I appreciate that it is probably vital to younger members and necessary to build membership. If it's happens fine but I long ago gave up on it as a must have.

Five years! Three is enough if he cannot win one with this list by 2022 he never will.

There is no rush. He is not going anywhere he knows the list is a good one. Where would he go? Carlton, Freo, saints I don't think so. The MFC can afford to see how the early part of the 2019 season turns out. We can then negotiate from a position of strength.

AFLW: Rd 1 vs Fremantle
Now while I did not watch but They scored three goals between them for the entire match, seems like the saga of ladies games continues to me. I did however watch the second half of the Cats / Pies game and it was crap. Just a series of scrums up and down the ground with the occasional kick going 40 meters. Those two teams have a very long way to go before you could call it a entertaining sporting event.

Good timing 40 degrees predicted for Sunday afternoon. The game will be over at half time everyone will have past out.

Not sure her advice was too far off the mark.

Not in Australia however they are riding on the back of Nissan infrastructure so the costs are probably carried mainly by the Nissan network. If you view it as another Nissan vehicle with a different name then they can probably afford to plod along with low growth for some time. It really depends on how long HQ in Japan is prepared to take the long view.

I am happy to take their money dc. I just don't think it is going to be around for long.

Spot on but it would appear that in 2018 it had little effect mauriesy. IMO it is a dud brand in Australia that has little chance of emulating Toyota's success with Lexus. Over the years numerous brands have tried to sell up market brands in Australia with little success. Mazda tried at the same time as Toyota launched Lexus with their Eunos. That was a fail and no one else has succeeded in Australia. Hyundai tried in the last few years with the Genesis. They sold a few but are trying a new tactic of total different sales avenues to the traditional dealership. They will have one dealer in Sydney which will be a store front in the city. Established Japanese and Korean brands selling an up market brand is very hard work when everyone knows it is really a Hyundai or Nissan. Would you rather have a Merc or a Infiniti sitting in the drive ( there is not a lot of difference in price ). One has cachet and the other hardly anyone knows what it is and those that do know it is a Nissan. Now as you suggest using the MFC to get publicity for the brand is a start but IMO it is hard to see that being enough.

Or for more than 554 it would seem ET.

Quick answer is No Rob Mac. I guess it is a matter of personal taste between US buyers and Australian buyers. Nissan had only sold 554 vechicles of all models of Infiniti to the end of Oct 2018. For what ever reason Aussies don't like Nissan cars. Their Suv's and trucks sell well. Nissan withdrew the Altima from sale in Australia because the sales were very poor. This is a model that is a big seller in the USA. Aussie reviews give them average reports and they are not cheap. Aussies seem to like Bmw's and Merc's. Which gives the best look in your drive clearly it ain't an Infiniti.
