2015/16 Pre-Season Thread

Thanks.

Thing I will just stay on the basketball and general chat pages.

and now you're behaving like you do on twitter - ignore everyone who you don't agree with

bye for now though, drop by again soon

 

[TheMagicTouch]

No. I don't want this stuff shoved down my throat. Sponsors/clubs are smarter than that.

It's about targeted ads towards people.

I wonder if the sponsors feel thst way?

Are they getting bang for their bucks.

 

[azza77]

Do you feel like the AFC have engaged with you as a supporter this summer?

I don't and feel as if the PAFC have taken another step away from us in relation to being the number 1 team in this state.

Supporter engagement - port power win
New sponsorship deals - Port Power win
On field sucess in 2016 - Port Power have the greater potental
Losing players the club want to keep - Adelaide Crows win
Good news stories - Port Power have released plenty more once again

Not sure if srs...

Better than Marquee White Events people are. Or the MyATM people are.

I'm assuming you don't understand sponsorship. The club gives access to data; that's what they pay for.

 

[deeztreez]

Pardon?

I don't get this. The AFC have had 2 maybe 3 open training sessions all summer. After 26 years, I feel a disconnect to the club like no other year.

Rodney Jaimerson was elected to the board with not much fan fair and the AGM hasn't been publicised.

The AFC need some major promotion to reconnect with fans.



Why not counter my questions with answers to prove me wrong.

Nikki...get onto that!

Why wouldn't I?

We are getting belted by the Port Power. Every move, they are killing us.

Let's just see how engaged supporters are when we look at attendances. We are yet to have an attendance below 40k at AO. Port have 8 games below that mark.

Rooch has the spooks up because our club ignores him. He forgets that Port have closed sessions too.

 

[Elite Crow]

I'm suprised he didn't save that for Friday arvo to give him something to talk about on 5aa Saturday morning.

Can anyone copy the article in here?

So.

Perception is reality.

 

[PasswordisTaco]

Ho

Isn't the idea about having a new sponsor, giving them publicity? They have failed to live up to this.

I should't need to pay attention, the deal should have shoved down my throat.

I cannot think of one singular thing that would annoy me more than my club ramming a new sponsor down my throat. I would rather they keep everything internal and focus on becoming a powerhouse.

 

[TheMagicTouch]

But I'm ignoring you? Right.

 

[Bacon8]

How many did Port have?

Enjoy the season.

Well lets see why shall we...

Supporter engagement - port power win - No one has ever raised an issue with this prior to this article. Im sure our supporters are happy to sit by an wait for the club to train behind closed doors while we develop a game plan that will hopefully deliver the one thing all fans want, on-field success.
New sponsorship deals - Port Power win - you've already been called out on how ridiculous this statement is, won't bother.
On field sucess in 2016 - Port Power have the greater potential - this is the best of them all, what a crock of shit. Did you not see our season compared to theirs in 2015? Go support the power if you feel this way.
Losing players the club want to keep - Adelaide Crows win - Not even going to open this can of worms, its been discussed to death.
Good news stories - Port Power have released plenty more once again - What even..... good news stories, what good news stories?


Obvious troll is obvious. Go crawl back into the hole you came from.

Maybe take on board what's being said.


Announcing two sponsors (actually 1 & 1 partner) vs us announcing 4 is not them killing us.

We both lost 1 player we wanted to keep - us Patty, them Patty.

I'm not a port power supporter but clearly you don't want a diverse discussion. So, I will crawl back under my rock.

25 years and 25 memberships but cool story broskii

Well what you've posted is bordering on ridiculous, so did you not expect it to kick up a storm?

 

[Geoffa32]

For tabloid followers yes.

Our club has real supporters. Not cheerleaders more interested in pre match entertainment and a sing song than watching a game of Footy.

That kind of support will not drop off just because of a few closed training sessions and lack of a Don Pyke interview with Rucci.

No one knows about them as they don't say anything. Wouldn't the main stream crows supporter enjoy that "in your face" moment?

Make a new sponsor feel important, even just for 1 day.

 

[Geoffa32]

Bock
Davis
Gunston


Them
Nick Stevens 11 years ago and S Burgoyne 6 or 7 years ago.

And yet both clubs have had the exact same results in the past four seasons.

Two years no Finals. One year losing a Semi Final another losing a Prelim (to Hawthorn).

Can we permanently ban this Rucci flog from anything to do with our club? The club should put in a formal complaint against this imbecile.
