Ben Gibson departs Melbourne Football Club

Thanks Ben for all your hard work. The amount of content that you provided for both the men's and women's team was incredible.

 

Whilst there’s room for it - fixture announcements, contract extensions etc - I like that our socials haven’t descended in to a mess of bad memes and attempted edgy content. 

Our media content reflects our brand and the interviews with players reflect a level of trust and respect. Kudos to Ben.

There was a new person taking photos out on the field at training and their outfit alone made me a little nervous. But I don’t want to judge prematurely. 

Teams give so little to traditional media these days (and I don’t blame them), which means the in house media are really important for how we connect with the team.

A quiet word in their ear, one of you track watchers? A link to a Benny highlight* reel, perhaps? (* noting, never limelight)

No word yet on 'Bursty'? Person? Place? Club?


Damn! Thanks for all your work Gibby, as a nuffy living overseas I followed the club vicariously through you. Gonna be missed.

Nice little thankyou to Ben at the end of Kate H's interview with him at the B&F, on the Club site.

She speaks a truth.

Thanks so much for your work Gibbo, you came at a time when this area needed a lift and less BS needed to be asked in interviews with our players. All the best with your next step.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
