Manly content

[1978]

As a working journalist (non sport) and Manly tragic, I've been frustrated with the club's in-house content for some time.

We seem to get fewer stories than other clubs and most pieces are short, light stories about new/young players. They're better than nothing and some (Sipley interview) are quite good,

Am sure we are doing our best with stretched media resources, but insightful content that extends beyond player puff pieces could be produced for fans (I would read every word!).

For example:

1. Pre-season training insights. Without giving away trade secrets, what does our pre-season entail? What are the main goals? How often is player fitness measured etc? What is some of the sport science involved?

2. Injury/rehab. What is the process to minimise/ repair injuries? What did we do to vastly reduce the injury rate on 2016 season?

3. Recruitment. Again without giving away trade secrets, who leads our recruitment, do we have a network of scouts, how do we plan recruitment five years out etc?

4. Blacktown. Would love to know about the players, coaches and each match. Vacuum of information on a partnership that was hyped up.

5. SG Ball/ Harold Matts. What type of training do they do. How do we recruit for these teams. What is the pathway to NRL?

6. Other coaches. More from coaches beyond Baz. Would love to know more about our systems to identify/develop coaches at Manly.

7. Off field: What do we do to help players keep safe and scandal-free off the field? How do we help them gain skills/jobs for post-career etc.

What else would you like to read about?

Manly appear to have taken the old adage "no news is good news" a bit too literal.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

things are definitely on the up compared to previous years. Much talent has been let to flee the coup (and gone onto bigger and better things where their talents are appreciated), or sent packing. So hopefully those in the roles now get a chance to continue what they are starting at the moment.

 

[stoodamire]

I think since Gorman has come on board, there has been an increase of media content.

 

[Chip and Chase]

We've got a very dynamic, and proactive media and communications consultant at the helm - fan engagement is his strength. Zorba will deliver.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

the pies?

Yeah because he's eaten all the sausage rolls.

 

[Fluffy]

Giveb as said the other clubs are way ahead here and no trade secrets just go on their websites and change the names to suit. The info will be the same

Manly appear to have taken the old adage "no news is good news" a bit too literal.

So maybe we could just change the topic heading to ‘Manly is content’.

It is almost a case study on how to not engage fans

I would like to see...Manly 2018 Premiers with players and fans celebrating well into the night. Anything else is just fluff.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Colour me shocked. I wasn't aware there was any such thing as a working journalist anymore.

 

[Mitch]

I think since Gorman has come on board, there has been an increase of media content.

Definitely plenty more posts on social media and the quality of filming and media is much better. A bit more variety and they’re on the right path.

A day in the life (of a player) ... video.

Eg, from brekkie to bed. Make it a bit funny too, but espousing the club / personal ethos. Included food training, recreation and unique activities.

 

[EagleFlys]

I'd like to read about how Bozo the Immortal clown handpicked everyone to win the premiership in 2018.
Then watch as the team BOZO the Immortal clown made actually win it!!

Not much to ask is it? from the one and only immortal that can never be wrong or mistaken.

There are laws against stalking.

 

[Freagle]

This is my favourite training vid of all time...would like to see a few of these a year, especially in the off season!

Whilst I understand your frustration there is a lot of news and content that is generated for the members only, it is part of the payment wall to entice membership and I for one completely agree with this. It should be behind a payment wall and allow members an extra benefit of more updates.

With that said, given you are a journo, we are always looking for custom content on Silvertails and would love if you wanted to contribute?

 

[globaleagle]

With regards to the members only 'payment wall', I think that info becomes available to everyone after 24 hours.

I think.

Content!
