2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Part 2

[Kane McGoodwin]

The reality is that there is only one quality publication left in Australia - I speak of course of the NT News.

Was the dildo made from crocodile skin as its not a true front page story without some croc involvement.

Rooch could never work for the NT News. Would mean he would have to actually go out and find stories. Not wait for people to come to him for an interview.

Rooch bitten by a croc, but according to Mr croc, he tasted so bad, he let him go...

Am I the only one who noticed they also mentioned a pearl necklace on that page?

More like rooch bitten by a croc, croc dies.

More like Rooch survives croc bite, gets angry and calls AFL to tell them it was all the AFC's fault and Crows should be penalised.

No - talented writers at the NT News

Do you work for News Ltd? Interesting you feel the need to defend your "boss" and believe that our club needs The Advertiser.

Whoa that's some sleuthing, you got me. Well done!

Print media is dying, and by association more "traditional" news sites such as Adelaidenow will follow suite. This is particularly true in a sporting context where a club can control the news it releases. and when the media is tabloid in nature.

The reason I made that comment is because if The Advertiser was important to the club, the club would offer an interview with Pyke to them. Pyke has already been on AA a few times and had a sit down with Caroline Wilson. The club grants these interviews because FiveAA is a club sponsor and The Age is not a muckraking tabloid. Rooch and his employers are dirty on this and are behaving accordingly.



We have shut them out. But they still need to write stories about our club to satisfy their shrinking readership. So they reword, and quote press conferences/releases and add some (at times spiteful) opinion to pad their stories out. They do all this with no direct contact from anyone at the club. They need to do this to seem relevant.


What the club have done is push the ECrow membership. The purpose of which is not to beat our chest and count memberships, as they wont be counted. The purpose is collect email addresses of casual supporters. This way the club can control the news it releases via email and then direct people to the website, twitter and Channel Crow YouTube clips. This is the future of media management.

That's really just waffle about the world as you'd like to see it. As a club we still have deep issues with supporter engagement, and it would be a mistake to assume a short term spike from Adelaide Oval is necessarily the new normal.

We're just not nearly popular enough to think we don't need mainstream media. Only a crazy person would think that. Ergo you are crazy

 

[Mike Smyth]

You're crazy

I thought the same. To say the Club doesn't need the support and publicity from the only paper it town is pretty naive, unfortunately. We need them much more than they need us, however I would love to know how their sales have gone over the last 5 years. My family or mates no longer but it or subscribe to adelaidenow.

The only reason I occasionally look at this toilet roll substitute rag is because work buys the week day editions and I can have a quick look over a morning cup of tea. I work in the most rabid Crows supporting office in Adelaide and the noise from the kitchen when the second article appeared on that Geelong player was deafening!

read the herald sun or google news.

no need for Adelaide now

Doesn't everybody just flip over the Newspaper to see the front and back cover when the go to get their coffee at the servo in the morning?

I think the sort of people who read the Advertiser are the sort of people who get their coffee from a servo.

The aim is finding a good barista who does not try to kill the sense of taste.

Floating at the bottom of chips and gravy? Big ask. Plus I had to progress to the cheesecake shop.

Anybody get stuck in Dan Murphys yesterday? Full crowd scene at 9am. Five registers 20 deep. Mayhem.

Never tried it - must do. Carnevale Coffee at Clarence Park is my choice for number #1. Along with most of SAPOL going by the number who frequent it during the day.
