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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
