Well if that’s how you feel then I agree. I thought you were suggesting something else, so I’m sorry if I took it in a way that wasn’t intended. 👍

I think “misogyny” gets thrown around a little too much these days, often used incorrectly. I’m a single dad to two girls, we are super close and I do and will always support them in everything they do. I don’t have a misogynistic bone my body. Being critical of a female sport (due to a poor performance or a low quality product being presented) isn’t misogyny. Consequently, I find it highly offensive being referred to as a misogynist purely because I’m critical of a female’s performance (it’s the performance I’m critiquing, not the gender).

[censored] me Ethan, that looks like a cinema on your dash!

Do you watch porn ( non misogynistic variety of course ) on it ?

Great stuff ET.

I’m probably a bit sensitive as I haven’t really loved seeing some of the pile on of one of our posters here, who happens to be female. It made me uncomfortable, but in a way I don’t think I’m able to articulate properly. Again, apologies for misinterpreting your comment. I just wish everyone could perhaps act with a little more empathy (and I’ll try and remember to do the same!).

Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍

Tom Sparrow’s manager needs to get that photo taken down immediately. That’ll really damage his brand.

So since Petracca has threatened to leave, he’s caused 

1) A president to resign

2) An external review to be undertaken 

Really interested to see what gets added to this list as the next 6 months unfolds.

Certainly wouldnt have picked that if someone started a "match a poster to a car" type thread.

The only thing you're guilty of is those weekend trips to Home Depot.

I think an Audi SUV is actually cheaper than a Kombi these days. Coincidentally, a 1960 Kombi Samba is the one vehicle I’ve always wanted to own.

Are you implying that Petracca created the troubles? or just noting that his public stance on them has created a lot of necessary movement.

Isn’t it just the fact that CP5’s actions to overtly look to leave is the catalyst to all this? I am sympathetic to his stance, I even understand to the point of comprehension, but can we just let the facts stand without making them arguable because they don’t fit the clean narrative we want for a certain person?

If that is the case then I'd want a cleanout of senior positions from top to bottom. Roffey has gone, and Pert and Richardson should be next.

I couldn’t find this article. What did they say about Jack?

It was just his place in the highest earners list.

Plenty of pretty ordinary "champions"( they're all very good of course) getting 200 grand more than Jack.

Every one of our sponsors would look at this table with concern in terms of a return on their investment.

It's a perfect visual summary of our woeful comms.

It is a serious issue. 

I'm guessing going out in straight last Sept and our string of losses this year didn't help.  Similar to our membership numbers.  Nor would our membership demographics.

It would be interesting to know the overall figures and if the table is only the additional or is net +/-. 

Will be disappointed if the Comms department is not a serious part of the organisational review.  imv it is failing at many levels. 

 

As an side wondering how mfc's 'instagram performance' is related to the CP thread rather than the review thread...

 

@Demonland do we know the end date?  Is there more info available about the composition of the table.

We should've dubbed our draftee: Caleb the Windsurfer and brought inflatable windsails into the crowd and given our game style a catchy name like StrangleBall to match those young wizards and whipper snappers over at Waverley

That GWS fella would command more $$ than any others social/comms person in the league but you can be sure the club recoup those extra $$ (and more) by bumping up sponsor proposals by a few bucks after pointing to stats like this.

The club is asleep at the wheel here.

We could have done that.

But it wouldn't be 'authentic' 

But on a serious note, leaving aside the tetun on investment to sponsors, good comms to fans us a massive part of the value proposition fans amd members of a club.

And is also a critical element of bringing new fans on board.

It feels like the dees are stuck in the 60s - our strategy to build our support base is hoping dees supporters force their kids to support the dees.

The hawks certainly get a benefit from that old school phenomenon with their sustained sucess in the 80s. But they haven't been asleep at the wheel like us in terms of bringing new fans to the club

No coincidence the dog hawks final had 97k attend - massive, particularly given the dogs small supporter base.

What a funny coincidence- I just used exactly the same expression!
