Our socials are boring.. simple as that.

We haven’t done anything in the last few years to gain any young kids to follow our socials. 
 

sounds silly but this is why we need another small forward like Watson to bond and team with Kozzy and hope they both star together. It’ll be appealing to watch and you’d follow to see highlights. 

I know young kids aren’t really going to follow to watch Trac cook. They want the over the top goal celebrations, they want the silly wizards hats and they’d want the Koltyn Glasses. 
 

Exactly. Kids don't care about the news, it's boring. 

Kids want to see zany antics, wow factor, dancing, animals close up with a wide-angled lens etc.

    Potential sponsors will most definitely be looking at those figures too when making decisions.

    I find it staggering that the MFC cannot employ some IT kids part time to run all the Socials 

    It really should be part of this review 

    Get Ben Gibson back on board!!!

    Who is talking about moving clubs?

    This is about attracting new supporters and sponsors, and engaging supporters who are non committal.

    This is 2024 FFS. Social media presence really matters in such a lucrative market!

    And look at the age profile then size it up against age group spending patterns.  That won't bode well for mfc.

    A lot more marketing $ goes into social media platforms than ever before.

    This entire thread is.

    At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy, I can't imagine ever having a Twitter or Instagram account and I think I'm all the better for it.  The PR guys can do their thing for the youngsters but if watching football isn't enough for people then I don't get it

    Think I'll go shake my fist at a cloud now!

    Drive our socials by piggy backing the Pies.......Roast them, bag them, make fun of them, play up to our rivalry but make sure we occasionally beat them.

    3- We are terrible at promoting our brand. We have plenty of marketable and 'cult hero' players on our list. Gawn, Trac, Kozzie, Rivers, Roo, Kolt are ALL players you could really market. Hell you could get 20,000 teenagers to follow our social media if Rivers and Roo did some sort of semi regular 'thirst trap' posting (tasteful of course!).
    Instead we show a lot of 'family club' content, which is lovely for the Facebook users, but has zero cut thru on Instagram and TikTok. 

    As I was reading through the last few pages of this thread to catch up, this is precisely what I was thinking.  We need to be presenting the younger players on those platforms that are used by today’s youth!

    Facebook is no longer a thing for them, it’s now all Instagram and Tik Tok… they want short, to the point, even zany, clips that make them interested in what you have to offer; then they will click on ‘Follow’. They don’t even necessarily have to be directly football related, but just show that the subject in focus has a connection to the club.

    I would even like to see them pay Brayshaw to come and do the Gus and Gawn segment again… it doesn’t need to be football related, but could be a good platform for exposing the likes of Kossie, Kolt, Disco, Windsor and so on, pushing their personalities more than their sporting prowess.

    Just my two bits worth.

    I am standing next to you. I don't understand why we have to spend millions on a overseas performer on GF day. Isn't the game enough?

    i've always thought the only relevant "content" is what you see on game day

    These stats look pretty made up. That all 18 teams have numbers that increment by exactly 1,000 makes me question how these are calculated.

    Why can't the club utilise the Dees fans currently already making popular, great and relevant content, like Caden Mcdonald and Broden Kelly? 

     

    Cados has almost 100k subscribers on YT. Probably one of the most prominent footy figures on that platform.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
