Delisted Swans Media Team

[SilentHunter_]

WORST IN THE AFL. No information about injuries, progress or reserves. DO WE EVEN HAVE A MEDIA TEAM? What are they getting paid for?

Can only report what they are given. Swans don't give anyone anything, even their own it looks like.

Why though? It is stupid to insulate like that and disconnects the fans.

Judging by the John Longmire thread, with fans like that who needs enemies?

What does criticism of Longmire have to do with reports on reserves and injuries?

Lots, or nothing.
Whatever the club says somebody seems to be lining them up to bag them.
I must have read a dozen times people saying "I don't want to read about players training houses down"...
or "the usual puff piece" when a story about a new recruit is published...
or the much ridiculed "4-6 weeks" for injured players...
or when the players say nothing after getting their arses handed to them in a game...
or when the players say something before a game and they get told to STFU and let their deeds do the talking...
or my favourite, after a really poor display of skills "what were the players doing in the off season, why weren't they practicing their skills?"

Fans vent win, lose or draw. Nothing wrong with that just not sure the club needs to react to each & every vent by the fans.

So you're fine with the Swans not letting on about anything to their fans?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

They won't be damned if they report on things like the reserves and injuries, progress etc. I am not asking for a daily overview of Longmire's life.

I suspect that the on-field part of the club (players, coaches) are segregated from the rest of the club (admin, finances, membership etc)

Which leads to this massive disconnect.

To think that the Swans medical team are always so accurate with their prognosis.

We hear EVERYTHING we need to hear from the "media team" on here.

Here's a summary from what I've read.

1) We are shit
2) We have a shit game plan.
3) We need a change of coach because he is shit.
4) We gave the Hawks our best midfielder & kept the shit one.
5) Our ruckmen are shit.
6) Our recruiting man is shit.
7) Our disposal is shit.
8) Neil Diamond is shit.
9) The way we play the MCG is shit.
10)...................ummmmmm ...................

shit I forgot what 10) is.

Swans media team have tweeted that it’s Kenny’s 89th Birthday today. All over the big news at the club.

Stay of the drugs Ted. Bigfooty Swans board isn't the media team.

8) Neil Diamond is shit.

Whoa whoa whoa!! ... That's a step too far.

Personally I think they should scrap his "Sweet Caroline" at games & get more in touch with the Big Footy sentiment of late & play
his "Red, Red Whine" instead!

According to the Swans website there are 7 people in the Media & Communications dept and a further 4 designated as fan community/engagement.

I wonder how many are football fans?

Periodically I have a read of other club's boards and I've noticed verified club rep accounts (North is one).
Posters can raise queries/concerns and recognise the work of the rep so the privilege is not abused.

We see ourselves as supporters. I'd suggest generally speaking clubs tend to view us as customers.
As either it would be nice if the media team recognised that we are footy fans first and that maybe info about the reserves may be of more interest than Kenny's birthday or a match day song. Mind you with 11 people on staff it may even be possible to cover all bases.

I so wasn't expecting this and was in the middle drinking... I snorted my drink up through my nose when I burst out laughing!

So you used your nose to make an espresso?

Swans board has also driven me to alcoholism.

At the risk of exposing my sociopathetic tendencies in being entertained by the misfortune of others, you didn't happen to capture a selfie of the incident did you?

I can say that RWO has all the same issues with the media dept, but jenny from the club posts their sporadically. More on the PR side of things though. Hasn't logged on in 6 weeks.
