Text message from Nathan Jones

[Demons1858 1,760]

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.  

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Not to.mention marketing $$

I wouldn't feel too sorry for him

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

We actually need more sponsors,not less...

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..

Demonland: "I wish the club could get a BOJ sponsor."

Also Demonland: "I wish the club would stop promoting sponsors to me."

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

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?

[DeeSpencer 25,713]

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. 

[Gorgoroth 12,955]

Opt out of the messages. 

Then you get none. 

[praha 11,240]

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?

[Moonshadow 17,676]

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.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

I'm annoyed that I haven't received a text offering a free jumper. What's this promo all about

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

I've been wondering where Bitter but Optimistic has been these last few days.

[Skuit 10,031]

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

[BLWNBA 1,007]

Yeah, stop being so recalcitrant.
