Roast Club Propaganda & Media Censoring

[PowerBaz]

I could be wrong, but 'We Exist to Win Premierships' seems to have vanished, wasn't it part of the Twitter handle?
Now it's a more generic statement.

Can't see it on the website anymore either.

"We exist to play footy!"

You are overthinking Twitter bios. Here are a few examples:

collingwoodfc

The official account of the Collingwood Football Club

@Richmond_FC

The Official account of the Richmond Football Club

West Coast Eagles Football Club

Actually, we've done well incorporating 1870 and our AFLW team in there.

They have done a marketing plan (coinciding with all the rubbish social media).

It’s easier on the players and fans not to exist to win premierships.

We’ve become generic.

Its been wiped from the website also.

Search for "motto" or "exist" and it only shows up in news articles now.

I mean, it is a pretty embarrassing motto for a club which has a premiership strike rate of less than 4 a century in the league it currently plays in.

Lol this club is actually ****ing shit. 1997 was a mistake.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol this club is actually ******* s**t. 1997 was a mistake.

No, 1997 was good. David Koch was a mistake.

 

[Duck Farmer]

This can't be serious?

Playing Footy Since 1870™ is worse than Making the Community Proud™

 

[Doctor Feel]

**** i cant wait to have a football traditionalist in charge rather than some sydney based baboon.

 

[dirty2]

Didn't like Koch before he was president... ****ing hate him now.

'Playing footy' is just gross. Corporate pandering stuff.

Just call yourself an official account, like every other club. but I guess we see extra 'engagement' on socials as an alternative to winning games.

 

[PowerBaz]

Funny thing is it’s not even propaganda, it’s come from some strategy document somebody has created.

Stephen Shirley?

I’d love to hear the thinking behind it. I mean someone thought of it so what’s the rationale.

Next level engagement. I’m sure the guys running the BBTB page were over the moon to finally be able to talk KFC with the club.

Yummy yummy in my tummy (relatable language) EATING EMOJI

"Playing footy since 1870" is about as generic and weak a statement as you could make.

****ing idiots who have no idea what they're doing.

******* idiots who have no idea what they're doing.

Wanting to win premierships is offensive to all other clubs, hence we need to drop it.
What matters is that we participate (particularly when a new TV deal is being negotiated).

I'm one angry thought away from deleting my BigFooty account now.
I'll go make lunch and consider it.

the AFL is literally just the big bash now lol.
