Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread

[I'va Worn Smith 949]

Also, maybe I am totally off target, but it seems to me that a source or sources, within the club are intent on leaking to the media.  That, in and of itself suggests disunity and disconnection.

FFS this is amateur hour.

If you’re going to do an interview, representing the club in a time of (perceived or real, take your pick) turmoil, you don’t add to the turmoil by not having all your ducks in a row and being consistent in answering very straightforward questions. 

Does anybody have their hands on the steering wheel? 

My thoughts. With significant media management experience my view this is amateur hour media wise for sure.

What was Kate thinking.

You never give the media what they want. Just what you want. Why pander to Whately and go in under prepared anyway.

Sheeeesh.

Love Roffey. We are so lucky to have a strong and brave leader in Kate. 

Thought her interview today was FANTASTIC. 

Go Dees!

So far some people  have discovered absolute genii at Club Administration.

If Kate kept on butting in on Footy matters then she would be classed " interfering "shiela" who does not have a clue about football (and does not know her place).

If Pert started telling the Coach how to coach and manage footy.........well !!

If Goodwin started to tell the Medical Staff how to do their job(s), then........

But if you are a fooballa you must by (media)virtue know everythink. None of the responsibility is yours but you can lay on your back and kick your heels and then the most knowledgable people, the media  in the hole world will automatically assume you must be right ,because a lot of the media are ex -footballers .

From what appeared somewhere ,just before the nightman came and collected ......   One of the criticisms was that no one came to visit our footballa in intensive care. A bit of logic here, that if you are in intensive care ,visitation rights are extremley limited (by nature of the reason you are in intensive care), so the last thing you need is a pile of teammates calling in on the way home from dressup day.

I am just sick of this media driven exercise who suddenly assume they are Club Administrators, Medical Specialists, Psychiatrists etc except in most cases they are Hans Christian Andersons !!

I sincerely hope that Christian Petracca  fulfils the contract he willingly SIGNED up for even though it is with a Club that does not play in front of bid enough crowds.

She lost me with her quip at the election some time ago saying the MCC wouldn't want any "Joey from Moe" getting on the board...

But what a shocker today after being absent for months...

After she made that comment, along with the one that "Joey from Moe" wouldn't be an MCC member, both crass, elitist , plain dumb and absolutely incorrect., I wrote to Ms Roffey.

I was concise and polite, as a 50 year resident and worker in and around Moe, making it clear how I regarded her "throw away" (?) lines. I also pointed out how Bernie Vince played for the mighty Moe Lions after leaving the Demons, and former (2 games) player Declan Keilty is the current captain coach. Current Suns stars Bailey Humphrey and Sam Flanders are both from Moe.

I was disappointed but hardly surprised she did not reply.

I've just listened to the interview and don't understand what the hysteria is about. I turned off after listening to the first dingbat that called in afterwards. 

As an aside, Phil Davis has such a calm and measured tone. I don't think I've heard him speak before but he's wasted on talkback radio.

Absolutely correct, though he completed his schooling in Moe and played for the Lions, though mainly Gippsland Power.

It's like she had been away on holiday for a couple of months and just rolled in from the airport with not a care in the world.

In my experience this describes her perfectly and I’ve heard similar disdain directly from her mouth about Casey and its residents. I find it unfathomable that she can be so careless with her words.
