we only blood one new kid a year (too many favourites) so what's the point in stockpiling them....might as well trade the pick away...

its absolutely crazy that we aren't in for Carlisle.... let the bulldogs keep building a ctop class spine to go with their smalls while we sit idle....

Agree with all of this.

What a stupid club.

roger drove past PT oval last night and it was pitch black and i could barely see a few ME bank signs. This is the busiest road in Melbourne and all we can come up with is ME.

Is it a contract thing and if so do you know its up? Surely we can do better

Deal finishes 31 Oct this year. ME Bank advised the club 12 months ago they wouldn't be renewing

And FWIW our deal with ME is one of the larger ones for ground naming rights

wow there you go. one of the larger ones as in behind who out of curiosity? it should be the largest IMO next to westpac.

to tell the truth, i didnt, nor do i care.
nor do i care if we have the most members, best looking jumper, best team song or any other mindless dribble that people cling to in place of on field success.

premierships is what i want, not consolation prizes.

but back to what you posted

which very much seems to be having a dig at the stature of the sponsor.

I think what he is saying is that there should be multiple advertisers taking advantage of that prime real estate

Correct WP one of the better naming rights contracts from what I was told.
Yep it is up.
I'm sure the club has been onto finding a naming rights sponsor moving forward.

perhaps,( but we will never know for sure.) naming rights is normally exclusive though, isnt it?

yes, yes, right you is. "are" is the proppa grammar for plural
