Simon Goodwin Press Conference (10/6/22)

[DeeZee 7,463]

No wonder there’s no crowds with these gutter journos supposedly promoting the game.

Is there another way to access the recording?

Thanks 'Macca', my thoughts exactly.

What a childish, ridiculous comment...what a DH.

Goody should have asked where were all the Tigers supporters last night…

That's not the reason and you know it. They did not make up this story. MFC players did that all on their own.

Negativity around the game, is definitely one of the contributing factor to small crowds in my opinion.

People  just get sick of it.

Im not talking about the punch up story specifically as you inferred, because numbers were low before this incident

I'm sure the Dees will post it on their YouTube channel at some point during the day. I will post it here when it goes up.

Interesting to note that not a single reporter at that press conference (over zoom) has posted anything to twitter as of the writing of this. I bet you if there was something inflammatory in the presser and not the common sense and matter of factness that Goody spoke then they would have been salivating to post about it.

Exactly ... over 100k members on the back of 3 premierships?  Who are the self-satisfied lot?

But we're the scapegoat/whipping boy and it will remain that way

Crowds are down right across the board so the AFL has got a real problem on it's hands

Overall, Simon spoke very well and gave nothing away other than mentioning that the club was handling things and would learn from what had happened

I don't think they care Macca the money is in the media. Spectators going to games are running a bad last. They will make all the right noises but the money speaks loudest.

“Gary Pert is a complete man of integrity. I’ve got no behavioural issues. Gill McLachlan and Richard Goyder do a fantastic job of running our competition.

“Join the dots and work out where it’s coming from.”

What was the crowd numbers last night,  I can't see any details on either AFL or the Age site?

Ultimately, sparse crowds can effect the numbers viewing on TV

And it could be that those staying away are not staying away for the more obvious reasons (covid, cold weather etc)

The AFL needs to promote the games in terms of people attending the games

21,757 as per an Sen article. Crowd numbers have been suspiciously absent for some games on the AFL website. We got more to our Freo (+8,000) and Sydney games (+11,000). Haven't seen the media go hard on the tiger fans yet though.

Nah we will leave that to Jon Ralph and Caro, they always report the hard stuff about the tigers…

One of the journo's made a comment about Demon supporters being at the snow on Monday instead of the game

Not sure they care.

iirc Gil's salary/bonuses are primarily based on Revenue.  Broadcasting and related sponsor revenue dwarf that of attendance. 

Its a simplistic KPI.  I'm sure there are others but not sure game attendance is one or if it is, is a significant KPI.

21,800 or thereabouts

[Demonland 73,834]

I saw a couple of "reporters" on twitter justifying the small Tigers crowd citing Thursday (school) night and cold weather.

Any questions about the QB game or talk of MND?  Very disappointing if not as that is what the pc was for.

Goody does a presser every Friday to talk about the upcoming game, selection, injuries, etc. Whilst MND big freeze fundraising would've been one of the topics asked about, its not necessarily what the presser was for
