Re: 2 million thanks to the schoolgirl!!!
Can the club sue the media for there reporting of the story ?
All the stuff she said was lies yet there's never been any apologies to the players whose names were dragged through the mud by the media .
They even used her to stitch up ricky nixon !

Always going to be a reason attributed to our poor marketing... How much was it this and how much just poor marketing?
Anyone have a clearer idea. So easy to pin it all on this...

AFL should compensate us for any losses. They knew the truth but refused to publicly back the players.
NO IFS OR BUTS HARVS IS KING OF THE AFL

We should sue that piece of gutter trash that claims to be The Age's Chief "Football" writer though it is a topic she knows nothing about.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

The AFL needed to step in and stop KIA. There will be some that will not renew and if infractions do occur watch them jump!maverick wrote:Don't reckon they will, but hope you're right....Buckets wrote:maverick wrote:How many sponsors have deserted the Bombres?

Re: 2 million thanks to the schoolgirl!!!
I'm not feeling a terrible amount of sympathy, weren't we struggling prior for sponsors?

Re: 2 million thanks to the schoolgirl!!!
I can't see why the AFL would want Essendon to lose their major sponsors… It will just mean that the AFL (funded by the other clubs) will have to bail them out.

Re: 2 million thanks to the schoolgirl!!!
Right, right.
Personally I sheet it home to having a nondescript President that was way too low profile and not proactive enough. Such an approach means that the only news is bad news. = doomed to failure.
You need a proactive, rather than just a reactive, approach. That way if there is any bad news about, it is offset wit the good stuff.
It is just way to easy to blame it on the schoogirl affair.

Sounds nice in theory but just before the story broke the club were on the verge of signing a major sponsor who pulled out. Club lost millions.
No offense but a couple of feel good fluffy stories is not going to bring back any sponsors when your brand has just been trashed.
The clubs brand was so trashed that AFL Media had to step in and help produce a PR doco for us just before the season started.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.

Re: 2 million thanks to the schoolgirl!!!
We have played the victim on this and the fact is we got outsmarted and outplayed by a 17yo.
The fact is it all started because some total moron at the club decided sending 21 22 yos to a co ed high school was a good
idea.
Sure clinics in primary schools are great but ffs.
