Has he not become a partner to the AFL competition as a whole? If so, he has probably "dropped" the Swans, rather than the other way around. Doesn't mean we'll necessarily be models in tight fitting spandex thrusting TW brochures into our hands as we enter the SCG each week.Originally Posted by erica
As long as they're still there I don't care what they're handing out. I tend not to be looking at what they're giving me anyway.

I don't look at what they're giving me either. I'm too busy moving my bag in front of me to cover it up!
Today's a draft of your epitaph
Very good news. I noted last season that the presence of his promo stuff wound down as the season went on. Perhaps the club listened to the feedback from its members? Either way, I hope they listen now. No more partnership arrangements with bookmakers or betting agencies!! I don't care if other clubs do it - we can be better than that.

I'll be glad if the club stops those bloody annoying TW facebook advertorials every Friday. I always hated seeing his face on those....
Good riddance, felt scummy.
I don't get the Tom Waterhorse hatred on this thread. I don't get why anyone would feel scummy or that we as a club are too good for this kind of sponser. Surely it's good for the club that people and businesses want to put their money behind it. Why is Waterhorse any different to Cellarbrations, Coke, etc??
I don't recall all this indignation when Star Casino was one of the clubs partners and our boys ran around each and every week with their logo on their shorts and I reckon Star would be a far bigger contributor to gambling addiction then poor old Waterhorse.
It's fashionable Jewels. The indignation was the same when he came on board.
Like you, I also don't understand how anybody could personally feel afronted by a club sponsor.
QBE have been a great sponsor, but have I got an insurance policy with them? No, because I can get it cheaper elsewhere.
My last 4 cars have been Hyundai's and my wife drives a new Mazda. I could hardly think I could hate Carlton or Nth Melbourne anymore than I currently do, but I sure as hell aint going to let the fact they sponsor those two lowlife clubs get in the way of a financially sound decision on what I drive.
Sponsorship is about putting the brand out there, a walking, running and kicking billboard if you like. Be afronted if you like, or just not GAF like me...

In how many years?
I don't like Waterhouse. If you are going to punt, give it to the TAB, Lotto or a community club. I'd rather that than go to an individual biusinessman
TAB in NSW used to be owned by the Government but they sold it off to private enterprise the same as the lotteries. After the Opera house was fully paid off the money from Lotteries went to the hospitals. Now that it has been sold there is no extra money for hospitals. Governments of all persuasions think short term gain today instead of long term value. So all are private and it doesn't matter where you put your money it won't be going somewhere that can do some good. Community clubs, while they try to support sport and community activities, don't make very much from this type of gambling. The majority of the money goes to TAB, Lotteries NSW etc and they only retain an agency fee. So in the end most of the money goes to private corporations that are very susceptible to corruption. I am not saying government is not, look up Obied, but when the Lotto and TAB were run by the government there had to be far more checks and balances.
Yeah bugger off Waterhouse. I'd like to see a return to the days when we went to the footy just to watch and enjoy the footy. The less of these peripheral distractions the better. Particularly those with a dubious ethical premise.
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
