I just got an ad at the top of the page “Win with the Hawks”. Hmmm!
Wasn’t trying to be a smartarse towards you Nocturnal and yes you are correct that smoking advertising is illegal which was the point I was trying to make but misunderstood your original post…apologies.Hopefully Xavier is smart enough to only do this after he had found a suitable funding alternative. Expecting a big announcement on the sponsorship next year after this.Smoking’s legal too, maybe they’ve got Marlboro on board as an replacement sponsor?I guess I am probably a bit different to people on this one. I think gambling is a dirty industry that is predatory in its advertising and unprecedented in its attacking of unsuspecting citizens to rape them of their money.
BUT
It’s legal and makes a truckload of money, so while it does that why not milk it for everything it’s worth until we are told to stop or we can find a larger more reliable more ethically responsible source of income.
I hope that’s what we have done.
Oh hang on…
Advertising for smoking is not legal.

How about Scientology, then?
Could be construed as a cutting edge supplements program under another name.

Just got spammed an EFC survey about Airlines, Data Cloud Services & Consumer Electronic Goods asking if I as an EFC member would be more inclined to use those companies sponsoring Essington
So looks like we will have new 3 new sponsors for next year
Yes, absolutely, definitely *
- likely not to be true
It will be interesting to see how Fairfax can put a negative spin on this one…

I’m on the fence when it comes to Qantas and Virgin. If one of them was sponsoring the Bombers that would do it for me.
Very proud of this stance by the club…well done Bombers!!! I’ve hated how betting commentary has become so prolific in AFL, kids have become to think its normal behaviour.
“And remember, please gamble responsibly”…what a crock of ■■■■ that is trying to educate the masses. Again, well done Bombers!!!
Awesome stuff, So sick of every add break telling me to bet. Even on the EFC app on videos it would play as a sponsor. It’s a complete joke that the AFL is proudly sponsored by the likes yet any coach, player or staff that has a bet is fined.
Remember when a friend or family member of “Daniel Merrett” was told he may start at Full Forward, placed a bet for first goal and then I believe the AFL launched an investigation.
I can’t see other clubs doing this let alone even considering it at all too much money to be made/lost. All in all props to EFC and it’s little things like this is why I love the club
Dons fans, do you like a punt?

Wanna bet they can?

I’ve never gone out of my way to buy, or not buy, a product based on what clubs have them as a sponsor. There’s no way in hell I’d buy a ■■■■■■■ Kia though.
I was 50/50 on Fujitsu vs Mitsu aircon. Chose the Fujitsu and told both the club and them.
Not buying a Hyundai though. Mum has the “highly rated” i30 and it’s full Scania to drive.
Now they're going to bleed members even more dry to supplement the income lost.
Perhaps, but would rather have a cleaner image and pay a little extras.

David Schwarz suggested that it was millions of dollars being forfeited. Get ready for fight pan 2.0
Next you’ll be telling me the AFL and gambling industry aren’t in favour of it.
Here we go again with bringing the game into disrepute.
I am more inclined to buy and support companies that support EFC. I am also more likely to not support companies that sponsor other teams. If there is a choice I always try to go with the EFC loyal company.
Don’t know about ISC gear though.

Well, that was embarrassing.
