Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV

[Scythe]

I know i'm super late replying to this.

But big missed chance by the club to rile up the Bulldogs with 'Freed from desire'

Looks like they're letting the players choose their own songs anyway

 

[TheBoss]

Nice of them to let Berry and Laurie pick songs so they can feel included.

Tim Lamb did something.

I feel a little vindicated sticking up for him - been saying for ages it was all Goody sticking with his favorites and Lamb's hands were tied.

Great article, pretty raw and honest. Now time to move on.

So fans choose which song will play after the first goal, and then the players choose the songs after that depending on who kicked it.

I know North and Brisbane have the same system, but imagine kicking only one goal for the year and it's the first goal of a home game.

Don't think many realize how much sway Goodwin had over decisions about the list, and was backed up Pert & Roffey. I haven't been a Richo fan, but apparently he was basically put in his box by Pert and wasn't really able to do his job. Wouldn't be surprised if Lamb had been in a similar situation. This was all the Goody show, despite how it's meant to work and we've seen now how that works out long term now.

I’m a huge Richo fan now since about 5 weeks back. We waited for coffee at the same place and had a chat about sea-planes

ITS SO CRINGE

How is this not extremely annoying for the players? I suppose professional athletes are more mentally resilient than I am, but still...

You've always been a mental midget tbh

In a bid to revive dwindling attendance and energise supporters, Melbourne will trial a new style of match-day entertainment at the MCG designed to keep fans engaged from first bounce to final siren.
Inspired by the high-energy atmosphere of basketball, the Demons are experimenting with ways to turn a trip to the footy into a more engaging stadium experience.
Club chief executive Paul Guerra says the aim is to create constant activity and interaction for fans.
“If I look at other sports like basketball, it’s kind of two hours of entertainment whiplash,” Guerra said.
“Everyone is engaged. There’s never a dull moment.”
---------------------------------------------------
Melbourne hope to address that gap by trialling new engagement initiatives beginning this weekend against St Kilda.
“It’s going to be a bit different this Sunday,” Guerra said.
“Firstly, if you look across to our big race, we are going to the new change rooms and the big race, and we’ll activate the screens there – that will be the first thing fans see.
“We are very much taking an approach to entertain, engage and educate.”
Among the changes being explored are different uses of LED signage, songs played after each Melbourne goal and involving supporters earlier in the pre-game build-up.
The first Melbourne goal at all home games this season will be greeted with an abbreviated rendition of Robbie Williams’ Let Me Entertain You, while all other goals will be followed by the goalkicker’s favourite song; an initiative made famous by the Brisbane Lions.
The club is also considering introducing more informative in-game updates for spectators.
“As we get into the season we’ll play with different things, like an announcer during the game who might give updates on injury or stats, helping the fan out there be more engaged in what’s going on,” Guerra said.

I’ll try to keep an open mind…

Strong pass for me, unless it's just two hours of DEMON DASH.

Sponsored by Harvest Snaps of course.

 

[schmuttt]

I mean, at least they're 'trying' to make it a better matchday experience and attract more people to the games.

Yeah, no issue with the intention.

 

[Supermercado]

That article is a sad attempt to pretend we're not minnows. It's like Equatorial Guinea putting out a press release about how good their Olympic uniforms are.

Just about the execution.

Trumpet guy was better

As long as it’s built off a foundation of entertaining footy it’s fine. Without that it will all fall flat.

All for it with them trying anything and everything tbh, but what I hope they've realized is you can't just manufacture the crowd energy stuff - It's the footy itself that needs to drive that, the crowd can't pull it out of nowhere. Think we've already seen the massive fails from Roffey and Trac previously in trying to basically order fans to make some noise.

Plus, seen TONS of supporters this week saying they can't access their membership/tickets and our membership team have been poor in helping them. No amount of LEDs is going to get people to a game if they're not looked after properly.

We have TONS of supporters?

Btw even in his articles McLure comes off as a smug campaigner.

Should we... should we have a thread suggesting entertainment ideas?

 

[Headless]

I'm a fan of connecting a Nintendo 64 up to the big screen and just having Mario Kart races, for what it's worth.

Round 1 next year we will have 1 trumpet per bay and NO led signage around the ground knowing our fun Melbourne board
