Player Sponsorship Player Sponsorship 2016 - Ben Kennedy - paid up!

[Cannon82]

but in the meantime any thoughts on what extras might be good? From past experience there are a lot of people on here who would rather stay anonymous than go to a function with other posters IRL, so tickets to club events might be down the list a bit. A second signed jumper or something similar might be better. Thoughts?

How much is left over? Is it enough to get Terlich? I don't mean sponsor him, I mean buy him outright and get him mowing some lawns or something.

Possible Extra Money Ideas:
-donate it to the club
-donate it to the Reach Foundation
-save some of it for next year and possibly upgrade membership level
-buy some kind of demon memorabilia and raffle it off to the people who've chipped in (1 ticket per $25 pledged)
-sponsor a Casey player
-ask or tweet BenKen what he thinks we should do
-help cover Jake Melksham's legal fees when he inevitably sues the druggies
-use the funds to buy an actual bandwagon and paint it red and blue and ride it from Fed Square to the G for Queen's Birthday

Going in line with your serious suggestions, I wouldn't mind buying an actual bandwagon.

Maybe not ask BenKen or we'll all wind up with dodgy body art

 

[RandB]

Whoa! Badge!

I'll have a think about the remaining money. Can we afford a car?

To replace the bandwagon?

 

[Crimson Azure]

Perhaps a second player with reduced/no goodies depending on the cash left. If we got the $200 from BigFooty that might get us there.

As I recall they were pretty much fully booked with player sponsors for the Bronze level at least (the cheapest, and the one we have). The next level up was also pretty well covered, with only a few rookies available - we were nowhere near that amount anyway.

I like the idea of donating some to charity as suggested above. I don't have the exact figures on me now but perhaps we could give half to the club and half to Reach, MND or similar.

 

[Oscarman]

Sponsor Tayla Harris or one of the other girls?

 

[LeverPuller]

Would be down for that. Perhaps half to the FD and half to MND or Reach

 

[LeverPuller]

Sponsor Tayla Harris or one of the other girls?

Damn that's a great idea too

 

[PerfectFooty]

If MND does the beanies again we could buy some and them raffle them off amongst us here

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I would like to chip in if we can get around another player!

 

[stretcharmstrong]

OK I have paid up! Next step is to get you all badges, then we will figure out what to do with the remaining money.

Hey mate still don't think I've paid, can you confirm?

 

[Headless]

Would also like confirmation if possible.

I have consulted Topkent , being the other half of the sexiest pig army on this board he told me i cant be part of something like this. Fair's fair, we must stick together. (in much the same way that our gf's are chained to the sink )

He also told me to post this:

Sexiest pigs aye

 

[Sellout Scully]

I think sponsoring one of the womens players is an excellent idea especially given that the Women's AFL is going to launch soon. And depending on how much that costs, hopefully there's some left for MND or Reach.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I would be happy too as well, but the question is without anyone having a license yet is there any players available to sponsor

 

[CoDkiller]

I'd be interested in any of the following:
-sponsoring a female player
-donating it to MND (or other agreed upon charity) without the need for merchandise in return.
-using it to buy 2 tix to club function for one big footy member to win

God damn you predictive text!

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of sponsoring a woman.

I'd say we Would have to be the first board on BF to do it.

The Melbourne Football Club is a pioneer of women’s football and has been at the forefront of the sport’s development. The club actively pushed for a women’s national competition for a sustained period of time and saw its efforts come to fruition in the form of the inaugural AFL Women’s Match in 2013.

This year, Melbourne will take on the Western Bulldogs at the MCG in round eight and at Etihad Stadium for the return fixture in round 20.

Melbourne retained the following six players for 2015: Daisy Pearce (VIC), Melissa Hickey (VIC), Kara Donnellan (WA), Chelsea Randall (WA), Kirby Bentley (WA) and Tayla Harris (QLD).

The remainder of Melbourne’s playing list was filled at the third annual AFL Women’s Draft on Monday 20 April, 2015.

Michelle Cowan will again be the side’s senior coach in 2015. All of Melbourne’s coaching staff from the 2014 victory – Narelle Smith (back line), Martine Pearman (midfield), Shaun O’Loughlin (midfield), Adrian Pavese (forward line) and Andy Hood (development coach). – have been retained.

I reckon this idea is certainly gaining momentum. I like it.

I will bring up my spreadsheet tonight to see the exact numbers, but I suspect we will be close to the $500 required to sponsor a female player - especially if we get BigFooty to chip in their $200, which wasn't required to get us over the line this year. No doubt some would be happy to chip in a little extra, but I don't think that will be needed. Stay tuned.

I like the idea of asking BenKen what to do with it.. could be entertaining. If not that I think the big freeze.

 

[Proper Gander]

Can we maybe pay BenKen to get those dumb magpie wings lasered off? I don't know how much that would cost and how it will look in the end but I figure if he comes out looking like a road accident he'll fit into the team look pretty nicely.

 

[d33my]

I'll be up for chipping in a little extra to sponsor a woman player (extra 25) if needed.
No chance we could get Daisy...is there?

 

[Headless]

I'm throwing my support behind sponsoring a female player.

 

[Cromulent1]

Sponsoring one of the girls is a great idea!
