$3.5m a year? Dizzy stuff.

 

[Mero]

$3.5 million? Tell 'em they're dreamin'

 

[Stromageddon]

Don't fret, Emirates, we'll take your $1m

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Collingwood, would anyone even know who this minnow airline is? It'd probably be bankrupt within the day

 

[Mr Eagle]

Exposure is the big benefit - Emirates has never had what you might call a natural demographic fit with Collingwood fans But does Emirates need this much exposure nowadays?

 

[Dylan8]

Collingwood probably gets the most exposure out of the AFL clubs, but they surely Eddie is taking the piss... $3.5 MILLION!

 

[lmach]

Never heard of them.

 

[Shabi19]

Surely they're asking for $3.5 so that they can just negotiate it to somewhere in between.

The airline is adamant Collingwood will have to lower its asking price and values the benefits of the Collingwood offer closer to $2 million a year.
