I just received this in an email from the Club:

"Early goals, effort and a third quarter fight, gave Dees fans something to hold on to as the team head [sic] into Gather Round hungry for the win"

Please - spare me. Apart from the grammar ('team head'), it's delusional and borderline insulting.

    I swear some people just sit around, waiting for the next thing to be outraged about.

    Spare a thought for QD then. I come on here and am constantly outraged by the outrage.

    I do find the social media and comms coming out of the club quite lacklustre.

    Do you mean lacklustre?

    Bitterly disappointed to not have been sent my package of Quietus as a member benefit.

    Although, I guess for fans of the No T$ No B$ thread, Plan D is more appropriate since it is banana flavoured.

    Anyway, people are losing sight of the bigger picture. This start to the season is a beautiful start, a great start, it is a start that will make us strong and soon we will dominate every other club. There will be no more losses, we will win over every club, or maybe some draws, but definitely no losses.

    Has the person who has wrote this gem of a piece ever watched a game of footy.

    The club uses AI to create most of its content. Anyone working in comms/PR can see/smell it a mile away. They used weird AI-generated video and voice-overs to promote the Gold Coast game on Facebook and Instagram as well. This is very poor. Me thinks they've cut some costs in that department. This is peak, "We're overworked so let's plug it all into ChatGPT". Which is common in the field and agencies these days.

    Yep. As someone who works in the PR/comms space I’m not outraged at the sentiment I’m more disappointed at the really poor writing that, as @praha mentioned, is potentially even AI generated.

    I just find the whole strategy completely fake and just embarrassing. If it is AI that's even worse.

    it's good PR - we need more members! I am being sarcastic about the PR but I am serious, we need more supporters - don't know how we will get them being 0-5 after losing to the Essend (I Can't Write That Name)!

    Treating the supporters and members with contempt.

    Absolute trash coming out of the club, Simon and the Captain so far this season.

    That performance produced our worst Team Rating for the year and was similar to the rating we produced in the diabolical finish vs the Pies in 2024!

    Sttop talking, stop taking the mickey, stop with the Kumbaya culture and stop playing like amatures so often.

    Bloody unwatcheable rubbish being dished up for 3 out of the first 4 weeks and on track to finish bottom two or even spooners at this rate.

    The worst start to a season since 2013!

    DEELUSIONAL!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
