:fap::fap:
can confirm this has been in place for a while, it was something I mentioned to my hierarchy, timing etc needed to be right, plus some push by the actual Jets board whether they wanted it or not. 75% chance I may be in the back seat as well.Quote:

Promising stuff tonight....really hope it gets followed through. Murphy impressed and showed alot of passion. Even let slip we are about to sign our second ever major sponsor!
NIB should have been sponsoring us as majors for years. Newy born and should be plastered to the front of a Jets shirt. It's a disgrace that they aren't.Quote:

Good. When was the last time the team did a lap, engaged every corner of the stadium at the final whistle? Some players might but I don't recall it being an every game thing for a few seasons... and we know how quickly Stubbins used to scurry off down the tunnel like a rat.
Thank you.Quote:

Reality is the boys are out at the hospitals they do sign autographs after games (Carney aside :rof:)
Maybe the message isn't being portrayed back well enough??
The structures of how things are done and the clubs instructions to the players can be clearer but to say these blokes haven't is complete and utter shit.
Those players are down on the fences at FT signing Autographs posing for photos and are mingling with the people.
The stuff in the community does happen. Sure it can improve and be better and hopefully does but some of the stuff was complete and utter BULLSHIT and portrays the players incorrectly.
Really?Quote:

Rest my case.
WRT your points there MFKS, I believe Murphy was talking more to the better structure of community engagements. And, whilst people shouldn't do charitable things for notoriety, it is important that members and the general public alike are aware of these happenings.
This can only harbour a feeling of goodwill toward the club from the community as a whole.
A sense of professionalism will hopefully be returned (or perhaps instilled for the first time) to our club.
Yes. Old fashioned I know but I support locals (yes, I know they are listed and are no longer truly local). They even pay naming rights in Perth!Quote:

Theres a couple of images I located off the Interwebs.
Whether the message is getting out there to everyone is the issue.
The players are down there signing autographs as the kids were always getting in the way and had to be taking into account when giving Muppet a spray after FT each game.
I also struggle to see why the players were required there last night.
Just as I struggled to understand why Miller and JPD were there.
If they were there they should have stayed for the whole lot and not ****ed off 15 mins into it.
Benny O can easily send them the video of the Forum if they wish to listen in to what was raised.
No one would begrudge the pair of them for not being there in light of the events that have transpired yesterday
Why they were there for 15 mins is confusing. Stay and it shows a commitment from them to us.
No Marquee no honey
I thought Miller and JP's attendance, even if only brief was very welcome. The first step in engaging the community as a whole, and not conducting their dealings behind closed doors.
Transparency was bandied about last night, and that comes with actions as well as words. Well done from me.
If the jets want to improve there community involvement there are hundreds of junior games on every saturday at the moment. Why not get players from the first team, the womens, even the kids out there at grounds every Saturday sgowing there faces, handing out stickers to the kids, helping a coach or two. Yeah they may not be training but the full timers should be around. Get the new coach and board membets out there too.
I agree. It was the chance to put them in front of us and give us an introduction. That showed us some respect.Quote:

Mitchell Murphy last night spoke about a strategy the club are developing to engage the local grass root clubs and the community. I expect this area of things will improve.Quote:

i would like to see them more involved in the mainstream media in Newy. be it radio spots, tv posts, jets website. everything they seem to do is so staged and uninspiring. you only had to look at the way the Griff played the media that all of the players should be encouraged to let their personalities show, rather than the mindless media trained robots the clubs seem to want them to be.
being a bit of a smartarse and having a laugh is the Newy way. let em loose Benny Boy.
ten bucks says that the gold strip with the jet on the front of it is the the kiffest strip we've ever had, even worse than last year's hideous training top
?? Thought it was two separate kits not oneQuote:

The gold/white one is gonna be the away kit and other than the badge with the Jets on it I wouldn't be expecting much else Jet related on it.
I would envisage it would be more closer to our kit we wore when Griff scored the winning goal in the GF V Gypo Scum
