Bear looks rather forlorn ... 🙅‍♀️  Maybe our bs 2024 season got to him too. 

Do you have some happy pics.   Tell him 2025 will be better😊

He refuses to pose with Melbourne merch these days, says his brand is being damaged by our poor culture. He's such a diva 😁

By the way, players with their pets = social media GOLD.

Clarry has two mini Bears, and I reckon if the social media team got them wearing little Melbourne jumpers, that would get us 50k likes instantly... 49,999 of those likes would be from me.

Hawks social media team deserves a bonus. Phenomenal numbers across all platforms

St Kilda’s TikToks are quite self deprecating, which I reckon has gained them a lot of followers. Because they are the least exciting brand in the game otherwise. 
 

West Coast being terrible lately has really hurt their TikTok numbers hey? It’s the newest platform in terms of mass engagement and it shows the clubs who have been down or behind the trends

Notice a pattern?

Dees supporters don't have time for social media because they spend all their time on Demonland.

It's just one platform. 

Personally, I'm not on any social media, except demonland, never have been.

But any modern comms plan has to have mutiple avenues of engagement - insta, twitter, YouTube, tik tok source, discord etc etc.

I'll bet our reach on those platforms is equally poor.

One of the frustrating things about being a dees supporter as a kid in the 1970s, apart from the fact I knew no other dees fans at all, was this idea the dees were an establishment club full of old fuddy duddys with their blankets and Thermos.

We still battle with that image.

A 2009 style fans engagement strategy doesn't help on that front.

Say What?That's a perfect description of me

Christian Petracca

TikTok: 357,000 (Petracca and OnTrac5 merged)

Instagram: OnTrac5 477,000   CP 173,000

Facebook: OnTrac5 14,000   CP N/A

Twitter: N/A

 

Surely, there is an opportunity for the club to leverage that. 

Add to those figures the number of times something is shared and the numbers 'contacted' grow exponentially.

I'm not a follower.  Does anyone know if any of those mediums display the dees logo/colours

I bet if he played for GWS their comms would cash in on that level of following.

His personal account has Dees related stuff.

OnTrac5 does not.

The Hawks with the wizard hats is such a dumb but effective idea. 

Depends how cynical you are - My mate in his late 30s was not super happy/proud about it, but again he is not the target audience for the hat

Depends if he wants us to use his brand to further our own, which I am guessing right now is a firm no.

I also think his personal platform with the cooking is quite niche for football supporters. It's about expanding his brand beyond AFL, which is a clever thing to do for someone heading towards 30.

He is actually not that much of a natural media performer IMO. We have players who I reckon would do better in promoting the brand.

People in their late 30s are not our target audience. If you're in your late 30s and you are a club member, then you are committed for life.

It's about gaining and keeping supporters in their teens and early 20s, who are fickle and can quickly lose interest in footy if they are not being engaged.

Would someone refresh my fading memory please.

Didn't we poach someone , a woman, from the filth a while back to restore/improve/ update our communications etc?

Clare Pettyfor https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2024-clare-pettyfor-leaves-collingwood-magpies-for-melbourne-demons-caroline-wilson-graham-wright-reaction-comments-latest-news/news-story/117052f0a8130a93dc6f98b2c492fec9

We've been poor in the social media space for a while in my opinion, the Giants do it the best and get everything they can out of a fairly modest fan base. 

The Pies have the headache that none of their supporters can read so they have to do it a bit differently

Hawks social media has done really, really well. From memory they were one of the pioneers of really getting on platforms and embracing it in that late 2000s/early 2010s period when the platform derived content was really burgeoning. When I was at uni in '09, from memory they were the first to have to have a full time social-media (distinct from 'media') team employed in house; that was something we lacked for years and pretty sure we only had a couple employed in contemporary times.

I'm not even sure if we have a full-time social media department, though I'm sure someone on here will know this answer to this.

Thanks MrFreeze.

Given the various rather damming tables above, and the questions/suggestions raised by a number of posters, one must ask just what has Ms Petttyfor been doing?

They've improved since she came on board.  Coming off a very low base though. 

My daughters both reckon Rivers and Sparrow are much under utilised on our social media.  

I miss Gawn in 60 seconds 

 

Bring Gus & Gawny back, Ben Gibson also.

Maybe we need to pay Benny better.

He was great, and give him a media team around him.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
