MFC website rant.

[beelzebub 23,383]

maybe some havent twigged.. all those images are designed to key into the New Melbourne is Melbourne campaign.

good to see so many on the ball

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Holy crap who cares!

[dazzledavey36 55,390]

I'm pretty sure Peter K would gladly throw his hand up, plus his photos are always great!

Please don't.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Still have no idea what you are ranting about, as in the pics posted there is no collage.

[praha 11,240]

What makes me laugh is that after a loss, the club and website basically go into lockdown.

On Saturday for example, all the facebook feed could manage is a link to the "play by play" page on the official site.

In fact, the club didn't even mention that the team lost.

First there was this post: https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/photos/a.414317157316.209227.285839797316/10153297419662317/?type=1

And then this one, a prompt 60 minutes after the loss: https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/posts/10153297646372317

I get that it's "damage control", but it's a pretty poor effort in terms of informing your fans how the team is travelling.

Compare this to Brisbane's page, which actually keeps the fan engaged and informed throughout the match. The lost by 80 points: https://www.facebook.com/BrisbaneLions?fref=ts

And Carlton: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCarltonFC?fref=ts

My number one pet hate about the site's coverage is when they do the "Past record doesn't matter" article.

I've seen it about 5 times this year. Obviously Burgs is asking the question, "What does the playing group make of its recent poor record against this week's opposition?" And the answer is always the same: "We don't talk about it."

Ah Ha! BURGS is the spectre!

We've been looking in the wrong place! It's not the players, we should get rid of Burgs! He keeps reminding the players, publicly, about how [censored] they are.

Get on it Roos.

first godwin now an unwanted visitor at a training 'sesion'.

video is cool tho!

[SaberFang 7,151]

We really are a long way behind most other clubs in the media stakes. I think the only player we had a debut reaction video for was vandenBerg.

No, we aren't.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Have you actually looked at the content offered by other clubs?

We really aren't. Many of my mates who barracks for various opposition clubs say how much onto it our media team is compared to theirs.

Is it bad that my first thought when I saw this headline was that the unwanted visitor was Saty?
