    Communications Improvement

    What would we like to see the club do in this area which has certainly been a significant issue for us in recent times.

    Discuss.

      Bevo needs to pick his words a bit more carefully...ouch
      On Liam Picken's return; "we’re really hitting it head on in looking after his well-being and we’ll be really well advised."
      Rather unfortunate metaphor I would have thought Bevo...

          Hahaha. I didn't notice that.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              This seemed to be something we were fairly good at not so long ago ... which coincided with being everyone's darlings and a plucky, entertaining team on the rise.

              I wonder if there's much in that.

                  I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. The Cordy/Boyd incident in 2016 showed how keen the media is to always sell the Dogs in turmoil angle. The cluster *!*!*!*! that was our response did in fairness pour petrol on the blaze.

                      My guess is that Peter Gordon is heavily involved in the comms strategy (or reactions to individual events) and being a lawyer, he's more inclined to argue the point than take a strategic PR/comms approach to how we engage the media and fans.

                      Total guess... but that's what it feels like to me. All the best intentions but not the right skill set.

                          I heard 'the Bulldogs are my second team' for the first time in 2 years...

                          It sucked.

                              Well... I guess they're doing something about it.

                              Just a moment...
