Peter Gordon on SEN

Re: Peter Gordon on SEN

Couldn't agree more, on field it has to happen.

What annoys me is Peter does a positive interview and posters are bagging him. In other threads we are canning the club for not having positive media. I really give up on this.

Bring on Sunday, let's mash West Coast.

I just cringe at the whole 'haters gonna hate' thing. I think it's often a pretty stupid thing to say usually said by people who don't take criticism well. It may be superficial but I feel it reflects poorly on the club

I don't think it's that bad. And it's true. If he didn't say anything that just emboldens the turds who think they get to have a free swing and nothing comes back their way.

Frankly after that performance we deserve all the criticism. But also just say it literally any other way and I won't immediately tune out.

Yeah there are always those media hounds out there that are going to say negatives about us and ones that will be good to us and provide constructive criticism. It is a message to all those ones that purposely fabricate stories.

Yep I get what you mean. We deserve criticism and more. We just didn't seem to make an effort.

Exactly. We either "give 'em nothin'" or we put out some hopelessly inept message that makes us look more amateur than if we said nothing. We just don't seem to have any idea of how to do this stuff right.

Don't suppose you are looking for a job in communications...

The bonus is PG walks into your office once a week and yells at you.

Not in the current environment I'm not! Meh it would no worse than the daily reminders of having committed the crime of being born a white, hetero, male, and daring to work in a big corporation. I think I'd prefer PG's approach to the death by a thousand PC cuts.

Perhaps we should have a thread dedicated to- How we could have handled things better.

This week's could have been;

"Obviously we're bitterly disappointed with the loss on the weekend. No one like to lose round 1, and certainly not by that margin, but the reality is there's 21 games to go. We've had an interrupted preseason for a number of our experienced players and we've struggled to get the team we want on the park all together to build our chemistry. We actually had the youngest and least experienced team in the AFL on the weekend. That's not an excuse, just a fact. A lot gets said about the outcomes of round 1 and its impact on each team's chances for the season, and that's fair enough because it's the only real sample of which to judge teams, but it's just one game and internally we don't get carried away by it or let it distract us.

We'll have a number of premiership players coming back in the coming weeks and I'm certain round 1 will be seen as an anomaly. We have proven we're a good team with good leaders, and I'm certain you'll see a strong response this weekend and I think West Coast will be aware of that. It's our first home game and I know the players are chomping at the bit to attack it. Training has been really high intensity, the players are fired up, and Bevo has that look in his eyes that only Bevo gets. I'd encourage all our supporters to get to the game this weekend because it's going to be very exciting response"

That makes far too much sense to come out of our club.. Easier to reference pop culture and distance yourself further from your supporter base than provide logic & reason to a discussion after a poor performance.

Is that a definite "No" or "get back to me No? We could make you an honourary member of the sisterhood or something for career purposes.

Like a bit more of a body of work in season 2018 before I’d call it a crisis . If we roll out the rubbish from Sunday again I’d be worried .I’d be less inclined to listen to the outside noise of Barrett and Lyon and the like .
