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.

i didn't see much hope.

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

F me sideways this is bad.

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.

I mean cmon, the 6 goals was amazing to see! And another glorious goalless qtr under Goodwin and two more 1 goal qtrs just got me so excited I couldn’t sleep for hours after, now this email has me all excited again!

Might go watch the replay!

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.

"Early goals." Our second goal didn't come until after quarter time lol

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

That’s taking the situation at its absolute highest, that’s for sure

The club is so bloody out of touch.

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!
