Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[Mixed Results]

FOS is interesting in that he doesn't have the Saviour tag we've previously attached to high picks.

Finn has himself some pretty special company when you look at the history of pick 2.

For his sake, I'm glad he is flying under the radar, but I think he is going to surprise a lot of people.

Yeah I want little juvenile pot shots like gws SM does, half of the social media crap in the industry is cringeworthy. Just say something when there’s something to say

Yeah, it did wonders for Cooper Hamilton's career.

He'll be the best of the lot then. Nothing surer

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Because those highlights were ****ing awesome.

The Amazing Race a particular guilty pleasure.

 

[maddiemelb]

A lot of these photos were actually rejects and hence the edits (colours, tones, etc., no arms! ) but people seemed to have enjoyed them so thought I’d share here too for something a bit different!

 

[Mr north man]

Got a spare $500k a year to tip in?

Well have you ?
Maybe membership increase to pay for it.
sponsorship increase.

 

[barnrokn]

They’re training on field no more than a suburban footy team. It just doesn’t seem enough time with balls

jeez whitlock looks bigger

This.

And I guarantee you if we were doing multiple bits of player content a day, lots of supporters would be saying how about you win some games first.

Very true. This was the reaction to the Zurhaar, Larkey and Simpkin pressers last year. "You said we'd play finals" or "were sick of losing" blah blah blah. The media and membership department's would've copped the most abuse, perhaps staff resigned or it's under resourced. The club may have decided to go with a "less talk" mantra this preseason.

I think they could do a bit more of a player profile or coach series. Perhaps follow an individual player through their day in the gym/rehab/training or a stretch of interviews post-game across a few games behind the scenes with some game highlights cut into it. Call it the bounding roo series or something like that.
Wouldn't mind something with Barlow about the development side as well, but appreciate we don't want to telegraph what we're doing from a footy ops point of view.

Players will love you - they appear to gain 10kg of lean muscle in your photos.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Yep actually good call

The two aren't mutually exclusive.
In fact, neither has a bearing on the other, increasing media coverage in no way affects how the team performs.

From a personal perspective, one of my biggest gripes with the media releases recently is the length of them.
These days, it's an absolute blessed moment when an interesting video goes for longer than 2 mins.
As an example, the draftees first day video, something fans would be super interested in, ran for just over a minute.

It feels like the content is just getting shorter and shorter as the years roll on. Youtube isn't tiktok, you don't have to trim absolutely everything for a time constraint.

It's the photos that Maddie rejects that makes her the best

 

[Rod Stroker]

So guessing that no-one's been at training then...

waiting for our media team to post content about it..

Shush. Don't tell anybody, but an unnamed player said he's a jet and will play Rd 1.

 

[winalotroos]

God I love this place. You ****ing freaks

Don’t be like that.

Yep. The length of the videos is what frustrates me the most.
I do feel they're trying to keep up with modern pop culture where most videos are from tiktok and those short reels.

What time is training tomorrow

[The Brady Bunch]

I can tell it's mid-summer, as we've moved on to video content as a sure sign of the club's many deficiencies

Off season posting schedule:

AFLW grand final post mortem
AFL draft
Cricket tests
Tennis
When's the intra club?
Sook about lack of pre season content.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

It feels like a deliberate strategy right now tbh.

We will always be limited by resources, but tbh right now it does have the vibe of going low profile/small target into the season, which is almost certainly coming from the footy dept.

The media team produced a tonne of great content for the girls during and after the flag.

But everybody loved seeing the players engage in scissors paper rock that one time and still talk about it to this day. And with not a word of criticism that the players should be focussed on improving their football skills rather than indulging in hijinks for the camera.

 

[nj23]

Tbf- how many interviews do we hear (not just NMFC) and it’s trained responses that are being said in front of camera?
Even the broadcasters that boast more player access with each new rights deal is simply met with more media training on talking points and answering questions with the least amount of information in the most words possible.
I don’t know if more is better, I’d just enjoy some good quality stuff and if I yearn for more as a result then it must have been good.

Rock, Paper, Scissors!
One thing I will take the Americanism for every day of the week.

 

[Only Forwards]

I think the bigger disconnect between the footy dept and the fans is the five consecutive bottom two finished.

Got to a point where I barely give any f***s what the media dept is putting out.

I’m not buying any message coming out of the club till we can consistently win some games.

Until then it’s all just guff.

Someone training the house down? I have little to no idea how anyone could come to give a shit about how someone runs laps or plays against their mates. Do it in anger for AFL points.

Edit - lol you had posted this very opinion subsequently. More content, this current level of content I don’t care, wins. I want wins.
