Seems like a pretty mild and open ended piece from the marketing department.
I agree, but perceptions are funny. Easternhealth re branded during the pandemic. It came across as tone deaf and a waste of money and time when we should have been focussing on other issues.
In reality what you say applied but it served only to alienate people further at the time.
We haven't been travelling well on the park for quite some time now and the perception amongst fans is that the social commentary our club pours any energy into is wasted when we haven't put the requisite energy into making our footy club better.
Whether or not that perception is accurate is another matter.
Largely I saw it, didn't read it, got annoyed and still haven't read it and have already dismissed it as ultimately what the club states is irrelevant to me.

When the club can demonstrate competence in its core business, i.e. football, then maybe we may listen to its views on other matters.

I thought the same then thought hang on a this is a football club who’s sole purpose when selling memberships is winning premierships and considering they have failed to deliver in their core business for closing in on 30 years I’m entitled to provide my opinion which is get your core business in order then and only only spend time and energy on any other non football matter. Don’t expect all to agree and that’s perfectly fine but that’s my view on it.

Remember how the club got bashed around for not making a strong enough statement about diversity etc....kicking the CFC in the guts when they're down is the country's most popular participation sport ATM. The club can't win on any front right now.

Footy clubs don't exist in a vacuum.

What are Lisa Wilkinson's thoughts on the voice? She is well qualified as she mentioned she has a black cleaner.
