Taking a stand against turnoverism

Re: Taking a stand against turnoverism

Great work... FDOTM, along with the 2012 draftees, is one of the best things about the club in 2013. Makes the "rebuild" more bearable.

A friend sent me a FDOTM cartoon a few years back following our bitterly narrow prelim loss to the Saints (originally published on crikey.com i think). It was genius and has lived on my office wall ever since.

Re: Taking a stand against turnoverism

I do run them past the people in comms just to make sure I'm not slandering anyone. One of the things I said when I agreed to do the cartoons was that I didn't want to make any work for anyone, didn't want to cause any controversy or trouble for the club, didn't want anyone to have to spend hours trying to fix things after i said something hilarious but problematic.

They have been great, they have made a few suggestions at times, mainly around not bagging people unnecessarily and not defaming people which is fair enough. It has worked so far!

Only just though.

Enjoying your contributions to the Club's media FDOTM, I like that you as "one of us," has a voice in that formal, clinically corporate comms + media aspect to the Club (all professional Clubs, really).

Just makes things feel more authentic. The humour and absurdity we experience in the stands (and being a one eyed fan of anything IS absurd, and beautiful and glorious) reflected in an environment where you often get 'industry' language, spin and commentary that highlights the distance between the Pro's and us footballing proletariats.

Great fun.

I “multi-quoted” your post, firstdog, but then as I scrolled down SonofScray said it all for me. Exactly my thoughts.

These cartoons are the best way to let go of a loss and take some perspective.
