Play Nice Is it time to replace Woodside as sponsor?

[88mph]

Absolute woke nonsense.

Western Australia is a mining state. Woodside is a major player.

You just have to look to Europe alone to see the disaster of turning against sustainable power, mining and petroleum.

Leave the politics out of football. It wont stop with Mining corporations being cancelled. Will West Coast be asked to ditch Hungry Jacks due to the ongoing obesity epidemic, vegan push and the killing of animals which necessitate it's business existance?

Professional clubs need money to survive.

Who becomes the moral arbiters of what is approved?

This isn't about mining.

 

[poshman]

This isn't about mining.

What is it about? Isn't that why thee are calls to drop them as a sponsor?

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

BankWest with the retro tri-panel jersey? Yes please. Match made in heaven

looks likely with our current retro round trend over the last couple of seasons.

I guess that would depend on whether we are discussing saving the world, or querying whether Bank west have any moral standards in regards to how they treat their customers.

Well most if us aren't doing either. At least not outside of our own personal decisions on how to live our lives.

My question is more for those that are, in which case whatever you want.

 

[holy diver]

This isn't about mining.

So... please expand.

 

[Scham]

BankWest are corporate sluts. With us, moved to WC, now back to us.

 

[MadMundy]

So apparently the jumpers on display are our real jumpers for next year, not just a corporate promotion.

Programmed are still going to be on the back of the jumpers.

Keep Woodside, would be stupid to not accept free money. There isn’t a line of major sponsors waiting to give us big $$$$$.

 

[sdfc]

Is the goal to save Woodside money?

 

[wild side]

Doubt it, they just posted $9 billion revenue for the half.
Think they pay Freo $2 million for a yearly sponsorship

Surely the orange can be reworked. Simply just have bankwest logo with a white background. Looks hideous.

It replaced Woodside instead of Programmed in this pic? Suss.

I thought they paid $2b in sponsorship and made $9m in revenue.

Thanks for clearing that up.

This is the part that green activists refuse to understand. Stop producing here and we will pay for it from elsewhere. Biden and the left can stop drilling etc but will just purchase from nations who produce it dirtier and treat labour poorly while doing so.

Until there is an alternative we will use oil and gas. The demand will stay the same or only increase. So while these fools pat themselves on the back for tacking our jobs away in the name of climate, they are making the problem worse as it is being mined in other countries under worse conditions for workers and the environment. Well done.

It's exporting our carbon footprint, pollution, over fishing, virgin forestry etc.

Companies will say **** it. There is such thing as bad publicity and stop supporting the community..
Lose lose there for everyone .. except the company's who will just reinvest those charitable dollars into themselves..

Pick your battles guys.
Woodside is the best of a bad lot

Well, Freo are now also taking money from Commonwealth Bank Group. Good. It's better with us.

Except tolerating the money of these scoundrels and hyenas is woeful...

I'm not the biggest fan of the current jumper (user name checks out?) but ORANGE anywhere on the front or back detracts significantly from the overall classy aesthetic.

HATE that the club have got into bed again with this mob after they ended their sponsorship and went to the dark side.

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

We should be asking for "Sponsor Free" jumper options (which all EPL clubs do). That way the club still gets the cash but you're not a walking billboard for these leaches.

No.
Greenwashing our community is not the answer. Woodside are not going anywhere.

It's about oil and gas. Fossil fuels.

Agree. The orange is hideous. But seem like they’ve already manufactured the 2023 merchandise. Can’t revert back and redesign it

The profit from Best and Less doesn't go to the club
