Footy Classified gives us nothing

[FatDog]

Flying under the radar is one thing.

Being dismissed is another.

Tonight's sterling effort showed Murph and Griff's hitd from the weekend, and showed Crossey's status on their in house award.

That's it. Third on the ladder, best start to the season in this 42 year olds life, and... nuthin.

Today's Age, nothing.

Today's Hun, nothing.

afl.com.au nothing.

the club's official (ahem) "website" nothing.

I'm all for keeping the lid on, but jeeze, surely 3rd on the ladder rates a mention?

Who cares what others think of us, we know where we are at.

Re: Footy Classified gives us nothing

I'd rather not getting a mention at all, but that is just me.

Let them talk up Hawthorn, Geelong and anyone else it really doesn't matter.

Re: Footy Classified gives us nothing

Yep who cares. For someone who used to cut out any Bulldogs clippings from the two newspapers as a kid I'm used to it. Rejoice in sitting 3rd on the ladder, we don't need the media (of all people!) to tell us where we are at as a footy club. Get all your Bulldog news right here.

I get my Bulldog fix right here at WOOF.

Interviews, news, comment and opinions. What more do you need?

A few articles though would be handy to boost membership sales because we all know we need as many as we can get.

Currently at what? 26,500? Pitiful for a club sitting 3rd on the ladder after 7 rounds. We should be looking down the barrel of 30,000.

yeah you would expect memberships to be flying out the window with our start. We can only hope it has a big surge in the weeks ahead.

Surely if they haven't gotten one already they aren't going to get one?

Even early on when we were 3 and 0 or 4 and 0 there were still very few people singing up when the phones should have rang hot, much like Smorgan said in an article a month or so back. It took TFS for people to realise to buy a membership.

Whats going wrong?

I think the DIEHARD fans will get theirs as soon as the season starts, but there are always reasons behind some fans when it comes to buying their memberships early. I guess the key factor is that EVERY supporter do their part in being part of this club.

I understand that some may have money concerns with high interest rates etc, but the club really has done most a service by bringing in monthly payments, so really there should be no excuse for life long supporters not to buy a membership.

Most people have money concerns in some way, and i'm not disputing that in any way, but i'm sure just one little way to tighten the purse strings would allow a membership.

At then end of the day if the club doesnt get stronger in the membership dept, then who knows what the future will bring. Corporate sponsorship and all that is GREAT, but it is the passion of the fans and the "WE ARE ONE" motto that will either make the club survive or kill it.

I hope you are wrong, but unfortunatley I agree. If after the start that we had, their are still idiots that will not buy a membership then they never will.

I can not stand bandwagon supportrs, but how could they be too stpid not to see that when a club is going bad they need to keep members not lose them, if they loved this club they would be able to see that.

Grand final ticket allocation based on number of years continuous membership.

Reward those who stick fat in the tough times.

Exactly, not just those who can afford to pay their way onto the bandwagon.

Living in Sydney, don't get to hear much about the Bullies anyway. Not even sure if Footy Classified is on here! But it does surprise me a bit that they're hardly getting any attention in Melbourne. But as long as things keep going the way they are going, it doesn't matter.
