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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
