Just got a little texty from old mate Jim.

Didn't realise my number was in his phone! Ha Ha

"Saturday Footy at the 'G. Demons v Dogs, 2.10pm tomorrow. See you there. Go Dees!

Opt Out STOP 0427417962..."

Is that Jim's number? I'm tempted to call it and have a chat to the old boy. Ha ha.

    standard SMS = 20c

    30,500x0.2=6k. I hope this is worth it!

    30,630.

    I'm sure they'd get a better deal. Besides not everyone of those members would have a mobile I wouldn't have thought.

    They might also be able to determine via database of memberships being swiped at the gates of previous matches, who to contact ....ie no shows yet or those who have only attended 1-2 games. Might help reduce the cost. Not sure if this is the case though.....some others might be able to confirm this or not...?

    edit: 1:51pm - just got Jimmy's text!

    Bulk SMS advertising is not charged at 20c per text.

    Usually you pay a bulk sum for a certain number of texts, as opposed to paying per text, and in the end it works out to be as cheap as 1c a text, depending on the volume sent.

    Having said that, we may have only spent 40 cents, because I didn't get one? :lol:

    in the last 5 years I would have missed max 2-3 home games and still got one, so cant see that being correct.

    HT great potential cost saver though, maybe ask the club for 5% of the savings!

    Yep, it's a lot cheaper by bulk. And nothing gets people to a game better than knowing that it's on, so it's probably going to work out as at least a break-even cash wise, and every extra number is worth a bit in AFL politics.

    I haven't got one. In fact, I've never been SMS'd by the club. I guess they don't have my number then.

    By the way, I like this comment in both the emails and the ad that we place every Friday in The Age:

    "This weekend, the Demons return to our favourite time slot, Saturday afternoon at the MCG. The best way to ensure that we are fixtured to play more Saturday games is to come along to this game."

    I know this has been stated in other posts, so i'll agree, being a 'bulk' sms it is MUCH cheaper than 20c per text. In fact, my old local football club which sends out texts to members, sends them from a program on the club computer and it costs them 1cent per text...

    Therefore 30,500x0.01=$305 not a big hole in the pocket, especially if you can get an extra 200 people to the game to cover this cost... Pretty good investment i would've thought

    I think that the MFC send their sms's from China or something like that, which only costs a couple of cents per message. It was most likely done from some sort of computer database & some sort of deal that does bulk messages very cheaply, because I don't think that Jim sat their putting in the mobile numbers of 30,000 melbourne supporters.

    I was going to send him a text back asking if he wanted me to save him a seat!

    I didn't get my sms from Jimmy but I'm going today anyway.

    Due to fly to China next week on business. Perhaps I'll receive my sms when I arrive. :rolleyes:

    Even though i only want to em win 4 games. beating a top side in the doggies being one of them would be heaps better than beating any weakerside like freo etc.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
