Anyone going to the Steven King meet and greet tomorrow night at Beer DeLuxe, Federation Square? Going to try and make it but was hoping for those that can’t make it people could share what’s asked and answered.

I won’t be there but the club asked if the DA has any questions we’d like asked on our behalf. The first question on our WhatsApp group was should you keep tomato sauce in the fridge or the pantry? 😅 A lot of other questions, all footy/Dees related, were suggested, but the sauce one was the only one we vigorously discussed. 🤣

In case anyone wants to know… I’m Team Pantry all the way

Fridge 100%

Fridge

Pantry.

i don't get a choice - I'm told they belong in the fridge

Pantry.

Panrty. Being full of sugar and salt it does not go off. So why would you put cold sauce on your hot pie if you don't have to?

FYI sorry it’s not about meet and greet don’t know where to post this but there’s a 15 minute sit down with Gary Lyon and Steven king for those who have KAYO.

Face to face with Steven King

Having just seen the one on one between King and Gary Lyon on Foxtel, I understand why he landed the job.

He’s eloquent, grounded, compassionate, and obviously a natural leader of men.

I think we’ve landed a beauty, and for the record, he is a big fan of Jefferson and Tholstrup

I will be able to talk to his knee caps

Will the boys from the @Demonland podcast be there to get an exclusive? When are you lads back on air?

Yes - when is the podcast back?

Hmm that's a worry Joeboy.

Saw on Insta that the turnout was pretty bad.

Not sure if the club understands how badly a lot of supporters felt about the club over the past 24 months.

More so do with a city location on the eve of the first game of the season. Timing off.

It’s in Kayo. Onto Face to Face. There’s one on Yze, the next one is the King one

Sorry 31, but your Blues are being waltzed around by Grundy! 😂🫣😂

I am going to a Mental Demons event at Max's wine bar next Wednesday. It was a good session last year, look forward to seeing the new chief

Unfortunately they all have media training & all sound plausible & well intentioned. Eloquent, passionate & natural leaders.

Dennis Jones, Bob Skilton, Dean Bailey & Mark Neeld also sounded very similar to King when they first arrived 😵‍💫

What would he have said differently if there wasn’t any media training?

Could also be because virtually no-one knew it was on.

Our media team have put out a pretty good series of promo videos, so I'm loath to be too critical of our coms, but here's an idea - how about email your members that the even is actually on with enough time to book it into their schedules.

Even better idea perhaps the club could put on a tour of Melbourne Sporting Globe venues throughout the season with the coach and/or senior club figures such as president/CEO and a few players strategically timmed throughout the season, when members and supporters could mix a bit with them and have a bit of an update and Q&A. I've Have paid for several of these style sportsman events in recent years, but I do think it's about time the club gave back a bit to members and supporters and put some on for free. Might even get us a bit of a boost in members.

I do see potential in both players, but I do partly wonder if King is aware of those guys being whipping boys, so making a particular point to praise them in public to offset that a bit.

Anyway, time will tell and I think they both did show a little bit of further progress and indications that the belong at AFL level during our most recent practice matches.
