Player Sponsorship Testing the waters: who'd be keen?

[Ben the Gooner]

Just wondering who'd be interested in getting involved in sponsoring an Essendon player in 2011.

No obligations here, but it'd be good to get an idea at this stage.

Cheers

 

[Colin D'Cops]

What are the costs? Benefits?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Mmmaybe.

CD as a mod.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Not entirely sure of the details yet Col.

I clean the dishes, do the tough, little jobs.

Not entirely sure of the details yet Col.

Fair enough, I may be interested if there is enough support for the idea.

Would rather the money go to Call2Arms TBH, but if we had a sponsorship running I'd probably chuck in.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Call to Arms will be back with slightly less spontaneity next year (plus this year's is still running).

Sponsorship would be a way of interacting directly with the club.

 

[George Washington]

Does the money actually go directly to the player? AFL players have enough disposable income as it is tbh, I'm sure as others have said (call to arms etc) we can find better destinations for our hard earned.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

As far as I'm aware, it goes to the club to help with certain things for each player.

Obviously if we push ahead with it, I'll suss all this out.

Young player with some serious talent Benny?

Jetta, IMO.

If I sponsor Henry Slattery I expect a fine dozen of reds in return. Boy knows his wine.

Say if 30 of us put $20 each in, do we all get those benefits, or have to split it between us all?

He would be my first choice, no doubt.

Not 100%, more likely the split option but.

 

[Donakebab]

Split. Get together for a Hank appreciation meet up and pull names out of a hat imo

 

[Jade]

Yes mate interested.

ESPECIALLY if its Gumby the Destroyer.....

 

[AndyLesPaul]

HANK!

I dibs his number in the signature of the signed photo

 

[Ben the Gooner]

It'd be split. Names out of a hat or something.

 

[Kong]

Yeah names out of a hat's fair.

So.. Hank?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Dempsey, tbh.

 

[juppy]

Voted no. Money better spent on other social services rather than throwing money at a player in one of the most richest teams in the AFL.

Serious question, why do they need sponsoring?

 

[yaco55]

I put my hand up in 2009 and never received a response.

 

[dons_fan185]

Tax deductible?


I know interstate draftees incur boarding fees from their host familys. That'd be money well spent IMO

 

[King Of The Hille]

Id rather neck myself than give Hank my money.
