Happy for marketing to go crazy when promoting MFC membership, events, news etc and use players names to draw attention.

But feel sorry for Jonesy having to put his name up for direct marketing promo text messages like the one I got re a MFC sponsor yesterday (won't mention their name). Feels like I am being mislead things its about pure MFC stuff

Don't mind his picture being used above the line on TV, bill boards, magazines etc but not in direct marketing to my personal mobile.

Not a big issues but prefer it didn't happen.

    The content wasn't the issue. Just offering to give a MFC jumper if you switch to the sponsors product

    Interested to know if you think the club are doing ANYTHING right?  Have a look at your posting history, you have;

    - Given a whack to the club for using Jones as part of marketing

    - Given Goodwin a huge whack for not playing Trengove (or just taking him to Perth with no intention of playing him), for the way he introduced the co-captaincy, the way the Watts situation was handled, and for playing Spencer in the JLT (FMD).

    - Implied that the McCartney article had a hidden agenda of him putting his name out there for potential senior jobs that will no doubt rise this year

    - Think that the club is disrespecting the club by not telling us the full extent of Hibberd's injury

    All of that just in the past hour.

    Cheer up champ.  The season is about to begin, and with any luck, it's going to be longer than normal for us.

    Feeling sorry for Jonesy??   Supporting sponsors' products comes with the territory of being a club captain, I would have thought.

    Not sure it is always wise to endorse Sponsors SWYL.

    I remember one a little while back that was less than wonderful.

    In fact it was a sham.

    Yes we all remember that one OD

    and that is why we need sponsorship now. 

    The damage still resides..

    Could be worse, they could ask you to marry a Thai Bride like Demonland.com keeps telling me to do.

    Are you Chris from Camberwell by any chance?

    Jones didn't exactly send the text himself. Doubt he even cares about what the product is.

    The club are very judicious with their marketing and promotion and rarely send direct texts.

    If I got 1 a week I'd be a bit annoyed but happy to get one every now and then.

    I could come at that prospect Ethan. They did briefly put a picture of some strange looking guy with a porn star moustache offering a similar type of deal. I'm broad minded, but I won't go there. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Steer clear of Natasha and Svetlana, but those Thais and Vietnamese are smoking hot.

    It's akin to appearing in printed or broadcast advertising. What's the problem? If you appear in an ad, you endorse the product. Why would he be embarrassed?

    I just got the usual text from Chunk pleading to go for a surf with him. He can be a bit of a pest like that.

    And the fact that we'll be playing in finals has stuffed my September holidays plans

    Yes, Jones should be concentrating on improving his game. Not sitting around sending text messages like a square-eyed millennial.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
