Guessing that's Josh Mahoney reaching in. 16 years is a long time to be at one place, especially for someone relatively young. Probs good for everyone involved really.

 

Highly thought of inside the industry. Twill be interesting to see if there’s external visibility on this loss over the course of the year.

We leaked a fair portion of our stories through Clark, so hardly a surprise he likes the guy.

That said, we’ve managed the media well I’ve thought. Mostly kept things in house until they were ready to go, made sure we got a fair hearing on our side of the story and also got our fair share of press.

Good luck to whoever takes over in a year that will likely be chaotic again, could see a coach firing and possibly even the board under pressure 


Never heard of this bloke but if he had responsibility for our website then probably best to part company

And????

 

Non-solicitation clause obviously not in Josh M’s contract -  amateur hour at the Dee’s.....

Was he responsible for sending out the finals marketing in 2017 the week before we made failed to make finals? That fiasco is still embarrassing!


I thought he got fired earlier in the year and ended up at the Dogs?

The communication with members has been woeful in recent years. If that was his brief, then a change was long overdue.

Unless we're also happy for Larkin to go.

(I have no idea if that's the case. I've never heard of the guy.)

Good luck to Ryan ( don’t think I’ve ever heard the name) but this comment made me laugh after clicking on the op link/tweet.

“Essendon supporters will be stoked. You can tell the Bombers really struggled last year with digital marketing, especially in the third quarter.”

Win a flag. That’ll sort our marketing out. 

good idea - email the club


I actually think our marketing department  do a fairly good job considering what they have to work with.

He must be feeling like a kid let out in a candy store. The money a big club like them have for marketing/digital compared to a small club like us will be massive. Having said that ideas are the key not resources. 

BTW, his dad reads and for a while posted on DL.

Ess wouldn't poach him if he wasn't very highly thought of.  PJ promoted him to the role so that says something and I think it is churlish to blame him for all the communication issues people perceive about the club.

While I think he is a loss, it is good for his career to get experience somewhere else.  I wish him every success

Absolutely agree.

Very thankful to Ryan. All the current day players and officials we have had on the podcast were organised through him.

I believe the finals communications were before he became the head of comms. In any event whilst it was bad optics, had we made finals and the mail outs were late people would be bitching about that [censored] up. Damned if you do and all that. Can't blame the comms team for not making the finals.

Communications have massively improved in Ryan's time at the club. I wish him all the best.

Wouldn't marketing/digital spend be part of the "soft cap"? I realise within the soft cap clubs will prioritise where they choose to spend their money but because of this cap I wouldn't have thought any club would be able to spend massively more on marketing and digital than any other club. 

If it's not part of the soft cap, then I agree with you.

The cap is for footy departments not club spending

Pretty certain soft cap is the football department. Originally brought in to even up the competition because big clubs were spending way more than small clubs with extra development, coaches, IT and stats support etc

Tough Gig.. Must enjoy polishing [censored] lol

Good Luck Ryan thanks for sticking with us for 16 years, but as I have found over my working life that as one door closes another one opens and I think that could auger well for us in the future at MFC.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
