Nathan Jones looked in reasonably good  nick as well. I was thinking it might be worth rookie listing him but I understand we don’t have room.

I spoke to Chunk before training started, as others have observed still looks fit as.

Looking forward to working with the full midfield group, like most of us already likes the look of Harvey Langford.

Just a little note about Viney, I arrived just before 9am to eat my takeaway breakfast before training.

Watched somebody shirtless pounding around Gosch's,  it was Viney, did this for another 40 mins or so, various distances, told him he would get fit if he kept doing that

, 

Had a great chat to Tracc, only bit I am willing to share, now he is in a really good place mentally, at the end said he was off to the gym and weights...look out Rd 1

In this drill, Sharp and Langford were being instructed to work on very fast swatting hand movements to try to evade or disrupt the tackle.

 

 

I speak Choco, part of the drill, the swatting was also designed to knock the ball out, the defender, perhaps the AFL has heard and if you get tackled and the ball comes out, it is holding the ball.

I spoke to one of fitness staff about throwing Langford and Johnson straight in to a lot of the running and drills ",we thought the vitamin d today would be a benefit" oh ha ha

AMW just ran through 3 tough tackles, rugby style, bounced off each and delivered the handpass

The benefit of pre pre-season training in Darwin, "it's a bit warm today" not a bead of sweat when talking to him at the end of the session. Junior rugby helps as well.

Salem and Fritsch both rehabbing, hence the extra work track watchers have seen.

Where is Trac in the drill....just follow the cameras

The group of 3 of Fritsch, Fullarton and Johnson are working with Matty Whelan on a tackling technique drill. 

Matty would be either pleased or disappointed...that is Choco doing the drill...could tell by him telling Aidan Johnson after he showed him something a couple of times 'slow learner, but you got there'

Aidan Johnson is training

Beautiful sunny morning for a scooter ride.

Arrived early to seek shade, Jack Viney out doing 200 metre sprints around the oval

More to come

Seriously, you have no idea….

Of course I will bow to your superior knowledge, which I have seen over the years from your one sentence posts.

This is where you're wrong, MFC isn't merely a footy club anymore. It is a brand.

A brand that at the present time attracts sponsors, with or without the aid of social media.

This just proves that you don’t read, when people give answers to your questions. 
Numerous people have answered this…..🥱

No, they haven't, they have said there should be more content, but haven't specified what type of content, you keep mentioning primary school children, they go to games with their parents.

The age the interest falls away, if not playing the game, is late teens, discovering the opposite or same sex, alcohol, recreational drugs and the rest, will only get a membership if the mates have.

Saw him a few times with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and he had the voice (almost identical to Bon) and the attitude and swagger (and a Scotsman to boot). One of the best front men I’ve ever seen.

He would have been bored within a couple of songs, would have made for some interesting interaction though, if you are interested and want to track it down the Alex Harvey Soul Band is an interesting listen.

Please don’t say it’s a song featuring Brian Johnson. I know I’ve probably mentioned this before, so at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I walked out on a free Canberra Day concert in the early 1970’s feeling ripped off, mid way through a performance by the band Geordie, of which he was the frontman (I won’t do him the honour of referring to him as their singer 😉). For mine, the only person who should ever have been considered as Bon’s replacement, was Alex Harvey!! (sadly, he too passed just a year after Bon).

Not Vambo surely🤣.................there was nothing wrong with Geordie a good set of ear plugs wouldn't fix.

My choice would have been Sammy Hagar.

You sound like the guy who said advertising will never work

Is that why you can skip ads on Youtube and get rid of them on Instagram, as from the topic, I am wondering who the target audience is and what should the content be, just think it is another case of 'let's kick the club on this'

In this respect we are no different to some "supporters" of every other club. 

It's not just a Demonland / MFC thing.

Impressed to see you have put supporters in quotation marks, agree, but anecdotally MFC are some of the worse, you only have to look at the Insta feed after a loss.

I was actually disappointed myself with McAdam's season and the fact he is not at training at the moment, but there may be reasons we are not across, but I leave the decisions on a players future to the Footy Dept itself, although that being said every man and his dog knew Josh Schache was done.

Then we are in total agreement

No, II just think they will be the next targets if they don't kick on.

Both are VFL standard Saty, only way they will get senior games will be because of injury. 

My point @old dee

Honestly saty, what is the point of answering this question - you will just shoot down any response. 

My response?

Member based organisations should produce content it's members want.

And that's easy to find out - ask us, and track the data.

And content that attract prospective members.

Content that adds to the value proposition of forking out big dollars for a membership.

And content that adds to the value proposition for current or prospective sponsors (who value 'reach" very highly)

We have been woeful in this space since Ben Gibson left. Woeful. 

You either don't get that, or as is more likely, you do get it and are being argumentative for argument's sake.

And that's easy to find out - ask us, and track the data. And what is that?

And content that attract prospective members. Which is what? it is a footy club.

This is what peeves me on this forum, you get "this is wrong", "this is [censored]", "this is not good enough" and you ask why and the answer you get is usually, "well it just is".

Not argumentative, just asking for posters to back up, personally I would like them to post an interview with each player not from a footy point of view but as a human being, "favourite music, favourite film, holiday etc"  and doing the right thing I have already discussed this, coz I back it up instead of just 'kicking'

All I can say is there will need to be an apology book available for many D/Landers and Demon fans to sign after Jeffo is selected and played for a year or two.

Great to see his physical development along with his mental resolve plus ability over the journey.

His career may well be the perfect way for a recruit to approach AFL adaptation.

Lets hope he can fulfil his promise in spades. 

This is Demonland and MFC supporters, they will have a new whipping boy to sneer at, my money is on either McAdam or Fullarton if they don't make the AFL team by mid season.

Yes and no. The volume of social media subscribers and the data analytics that go along with that (views, comments, re-posts etc), are all taken into account by a sponsor/potential sponsor. So a larger social media footprint, could mean an increase is revenue from sponsors. 

I agree but what is missing?

The sponsorship does not seem to be suffering, we have sponsors to cover most things at present.

What should the club be posting?

MFC are a footy club, so the content is footy based.

One of the Instragrams I follow is a cactus grower in California, he has lots of followers, what does he post, pictures of cacti or how to grow it.

Stuff that young kids relate to, so it has nothing to do with you

Your normal rather inpolite answer.

What do young kids relate to? I know, because I see what my grandchildren look at, mainly music, fashion and 'celebrities' except my eldest granddaughter who like me, thinks most of the 'celebrities' are tossers.

Max Gawn, who is one of the most recognisable footy 'celebrities' has a tick over 100,000 followers on Instagram, which has stayed pretty steady for the last few years.

And again, what content, posters can't say the media department and particularly the social media content are [censored] and not state why and what content should appear.

Last time I looked MFC was a footy club, so the content should be footy related?

Again, what content do you this is lacking in the club's social media channels, posters are pontificating without actually putting meat on the bones of what type of content should a footy club be producing?
