The best we can do is Hyundai as a JOINT sponsor.
The club is associating themselves as what is percieved a cheap and nasty korean brand in Australia.
Visy had to come on board because we could not land another sponsor, and they try fluff it up by selling it as this enviromental awareness campaign.
Look at he pies, Lexus, Emirates, Mcdonalds, Sony
Carlton, Hyundai, Optus, Visy all second rate corporates.
I have to say I agree with Melvey here............ a lot of you are too sensitive when someone says something negative about CFC. If you take off your rose coloured glasses you may see what he is saying has some merit. I am not saying that Swann and Pratt haven't turned us around (if this were Smorgon we would have 'Joes Fish and Chips' as our sponsor), but we should be trying to get more big name sponsors...
Emirates is assosisated with BEST AIRLINE, CLASS etc.
Sony - Quality
Lexus - Prestige, Quality
Us............
Optus - Second Level Phone Carrier (no class, no prestige)
Hyundai - Good value for money
Visy - Tarnished image...........
You make the call........
Fair enough, but who's noticed anyone in the "Collonwood" army (other than Eddie) getting around in a Lexus lately? They're more likely to want to steal one, though.
It's all about dollars at the end of the day and I hope Swanny has them throwing plenty at us. Toyota No 1 car company in the world - are they a "prestige" brand?
Hungry Jacks for Coasters, Ford for Geelong, QBE for Swannies - who gives a twang what they're brand represents as long as they "....show me the money".
By the way, where was Avco in the pecking order of financiers......
Let's also see what else maybe in the pipeline.
Hyundai was around when we won our last flag, so the omen makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
