MFC website rant.

Featured Replies

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

 

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

Please don't.

 

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

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.

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.

There was one for Harmes last week

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.

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

video is cool tho!

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

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
