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.

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.

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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
