Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV – Roffey Out, Green In, Smith a No, "External" (lol) Review, AFL's Largest Membership Drop and Lowest Social Media Growth 🔥

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Oh wow what a day!

I just got an email from ceo@melbournefc. It went like this

Hi [Gander]

Thank you for getting in touch with the Melbourne Football Club.



I’d firstly like to take a moment to acknowledge your frustrations. Please know that we hear these. There’s no doubt that recent months have made for some challenging moments, for our players, coaches, staff and members like yourself, and we understand the emotions that come with that.



As we approach the AFL Trade Period, we expect a significant amount of rumour and speculation in relation to player movement, and are evidently aware of commentary surrounding Christian Petracca. As we have previously said, both in a recent letter to members and in the media, Christian is an integral and valued part of the Melbourne family. He is a contracted player, and will be wearing the red and blue next season.



As a football club, all we want to do is get better. The 2024 AFL season wasn’t the one we had hoped for, and the focus is now on understanding what is required to move forward. There have been conversations with many of our leaders over recent weeks about our opportunities for growth. These conversations have been open and constructive, and we are committed to working together to find a path forward, to ensure we can be the best we can be in 2025.



We want to stress the importance of every single member whose heart beats true, so we thank you again for taking the time to reach out. We will need your support both now and into the future, [Gander] so we hope you can stick with us.



Regards,

Jessica

Thanks Kate. (too slow on the second one for me Gander)

 

[Proper Gander]

Lucky you, a copy and pasted PR response that is addressed from a random staff member.

And now you’ve just doxed me too after all the trouble I took with an edit!

Ah well. It’s been that kind of week

 

[Proper Gander]

Proper Roffey confirmed

I think I liked it better when I was Mrs Demons Crying Lady

 

[Proper Gander]

Thanks Kate. (too slow on the second one for me Gander)

Oh FFS

I suck at the internet

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

They are replying now only cause they are scared of the drop off in memberships and money. Had no time for anyone with the foresight to notify the club about these issues when they were brought up earlier in the year.

 

[Bluelegs]

Dancing Potato – should we launch a board challenge?

Honestly if Lawrence is fair dinkum he should get himself on Whateley's show for a response and start pushing for a board spill.

 

[netslave]

have we folded yet?

It’s probably been a long week at the office for Jessica…

‘Melbourne Football Club complaints department, please hold…. Melbourne Football Club complaints department, please hold… Melbourne Football Club complaints department, please hold….‘

Cutting and pasting that reply you got to 50 different emails per hour. Just have to change the names to that of each member in it to make it seem like they actually read what people are sending them and giving them a lengthy reply when they actually aren't.

Could probably setup an outlook rule to autoreply a few hours after receiving, shave hours of work off

If anybody wants to re-live the trainwreck:

Is there any way to listen to the talkback callers people were referencing? The "Thursday Full Show" of Whateley has been released but I don't think it includes the callers.

"Your call is important to us"

They are immediately after the interview in the full show.

 

[MarcMaverick]

MFC is the Raygun of the AFL.

 

[Bluelegs]

 

[MarcMaverick]

Peter Lawrence for Pres.

 

[MarcMaverick]

The only saving grace is the Women's team.

 

[tomcruise]

Probably should've gotten rid of the Staff infection two years ago. We finally pull that switch, too slow and all too late like everything with the current administration.

Probably feel like they've made the necessary changes and can move on now and take a well earned rest. Would take them two years to put out a housefire.

 

[Toump Ass]

Is holding Christian to his contract a bad thing? I'm all for it.

As if Goodwin will last another year. Christian can rest up and prepare for 2026's flag tilt.

Have added the time in the full show (pinned post)

I personally really liked Raygunn's performance.

Breaking is such a ****in' stupid-arse style of dancing anyway, like so what if she was doing kangaroo hops and stuff.
Amount of sooking and bitching about it was crazy.

Ahh, thanks.

 

[tomcruise]

Ahh, thanks.

But why 'Windso'?

 

[Demon Attack]

So useless and incompetent I would prefer Peter Lawrence. And all this in three years after a flag.

Never change MFC.
