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:

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
