Player Sponsorship 2025
Just got the pricing and breakdown for player sponsorship next year
They have let me know that Ryan Byrnes (our previous player) has been moved to the core group so is the more expensive option now, and they've also changed the sponsorship into 2 different tiers of sponsorship (standard & premium)
So a few of questions:
1) Do we want to sponsor a player again in 2025?
2) if the answer is yes, are we going to sponsor Ryan again, or move to one of the new recruits?
3) Assuming we are sponsoring someone, are we going for the standard package or the premium package (see below)
From what I can tell, the Standard package is what we've been getting in the past, the Premium package comes with some interesting extras (especially for our non-vic forumites)
For me personally - I like the idea of us sponsoring a player, but not sure that we have enough people willing to chip in to do it anymore. For the last couple of years Mr Magic has kindly backstopped the shortfall we've had, but has indicated he won't b able to do that again.
If we do the 100 shares breakdown then the costs will be:
Standard: $25/share for emerging, $30/share for core player
Premium: $51/share for emerging. $56/share for core player

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
I'm happy to take two shares again this year.

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
Happy to take 2 - but it is going to be a long road at those numbers - Sainter_Boy and I sponsor Moose - so we will be only taking 2
Additionally - I think we cancel the sponsorship of Ryan and look to an emerging player.

Maybe get in early on the one of the two T's or B's.
Also - at least one of the events will be a Trivia Night at Woodlands Golf Course - this was a fantastic and relaxed event last time it was held (many years ago). We sat with Wilks and Hanners

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
Haven't gotten anything yet, but apparently we'll be getting a gift of some sort 'soon'

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
I'm in for a couple.
Suggestions to help the budget: James Barat's moustache; Max's ball twirl; Rowan's haircut, Arie's left boot, Hammer's smile. Love to be able to claim an interest in any of that.

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
I would take 4 shares if we are going ahead. I'd prefer to stick with Ronny in honour of Curly but we'll struggle to get to 2500 let alone 3000.

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
Hi Rabbit,
I’ll take 10 shares again.
I think we should take the emerging player option.
Thanks for running this again.

Re: Player Sponsorship 2025
I will happily take 5 again.
I assume that both Hugo and Collard still classify as emerging players?
If so I would see if one of them is available and if not go with a draftee.
