Did you cringe?

I understand that it may make some cringe but it's marketing. Hogan & Roos (and maybe Howe taking a grab) are among the best images they can present to get people to sign up for next year.

    What makes me cringe, is trolls like ben and c&beer always have to find something to be negative about and saying it amateur hour is just disrespectfull, I suspect that you two are amateurs.,

    What makes me cringe is when the admin of this club defend itself and advertise the club with the prostituting of draft picks and teenagers to a impatient fan base.

    I am ok with one fifth of a promo being a boy yet to play a game but don't sell me hope on the back of kids making their way, it's a burden they shouldn't carry and we have long been misled with.

    Sadly there has been nothing else to sell for the last six years rpfc.

    This shows the low depth the club has been in for a decade.

    If you don't talk about the youth what do you talk about?

    I would seriously like to know?

    You shut up.

    Sorry to be blunt, but you don't advertise what you can't sell.

    And 'Jack Watts and the MFC' sounds like a Disney cartoon, and it felt just as ridiculous.

    Any good Ad man will tell you that when you've got nothing to sell you can still sell hope. Having said that the relationship the MFC is developing with Hogan comes across as very needy and desperate. Lets give the kid some space and let him find his feet in the game before we drive him away.

    What makes me cringe.. this whole thread.

    Firstly id counter that there is nothing cringeworthy in Hogan being in a piece of digital imagery designed to promote the club. Why would there be ? Seriously...whats this cringe about ? He's a bright upcoming talent whos already dispelled the myth and actually shown he has something ( unlike some others ) He represents a future direction of the club. So again...whats the cringe ?

    we've just spent 7 years pillaging the draft and talking up youngsters and it all amounted to dismal failure. Has the club learnt nothing? Why can't we have a little dignity and just keep these kids under our hat and let them develop naturally like most clubs do. Instead we give them Barassi's number, make them co-captains, and use them as marketing tools before they have done anything worthy of the fanfare. it is the epitome of the loser's mentality that has got us where we are today.

    well I've just said it in the previous post. Our history of betting the farm on young talent has been a disaster. It symbolises our ineptitude as a club and i wish we would stop doing it.

    But we arent. If he had been all but the face of some 14 campaign I could understand your angst but he isnt. hes just a bit player in it all. And why wouldnt you use him.He does represent something and thats hope .Thats probably more tangible than a lot of qualities a marketing dept could lay their hands on.

    yeah we stuffed up with the TS and Trengove double pointed ads etc. Went way overboard with Watts, but here i actually think we're being quite tempered with it.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
