Massive get for the club to get Clare back. Awesome from Gary Pert. A revamped social media team and communications on the way. Hopefully some of the good stuff we saw in 2021 is coming back. Stoked 👏🏼👏🏼

I guess Perty does listen to feedback! 😆

    • BC_1718_DC changed the title to Clare Pettyfor appointed chief communications officer (poached from Collingwood by Gary Pert)
     

    She could use her own surname as a press release title if we swap Pettyfor Brown for one of the Adelaide games.

    Clearly the club reads Demonland to set priorities and was greatly alarmed by our collective ambivalence about the social media and publicity efforts.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but she had this near-exact role with us before? During the glory days of Gibbo and peak Gus'n'Gawny?

    I had a quick look at her profile - she's seen premierships at three different clubs, and two of those came within a year of that club recruiting her. I'll never underestimate the power of social media again!

    This is an absolutely reprehensible pun. Just absolute trash.

    The saying is ‘penny for your thoughts’ not ‘petty.’


    This ain’t it.

    Any relation to Petty?

    Maybe he’ll stay now

    Brilliant.

    Kinda makes my planned question at this year's AGM redundant but!

    (I always feel a bit dirty hijacking serious threads (big welcome, CP(!) by the way), but...)

    Would be the icing on the PR petit four if that game could also be scheduled in one o' them famous SA wine regions. What's it called again?

    This is an area that I think many supporters want to see improved, but few truly understand the value of.

    As someone who has been in product and brand management for almost two decades, the value of social media, communication and brand marketing in this day and age is enormous.

    Getting this area right will go a long way to sustained membership numbers and engagement in our club, especially for our younger demographic which IMO is poorly represented amongst our supporter base thanks to decades of poor on field performance.

    I look forward to seeing this area of our club improve not just our brand, but also the bottom line.

    Absolutely. The Giants have rocketed into relevance in the past 6-12 months through the power of their onfield performance and top tier social media work. That could be done by any club. All it takes is some understanding of how to engage people on the Internet, along with the traditional engagement clubs always have done (and the obvious - winning games).

    Nothing on the Club's site yet?

    I guess Clare has to get her feet under the desk before she can write it?...

    As long as she doesn't try to get a game off the back of it.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
