I was a bit disappointed that none from here registered for the hang out - recruiting gets discussed often here. The club called me to ask to participate as they had so few. I am the fill in guy
Last week there were over 200 girls who wanted to talk to Murph....... it's a pity. People should participate in these type of session or we will only see Q&A with players.
I think it depends what they want to achieve from it. Do you want fan questions (ie murphy and the girls) or supporter questions (admin etc staff + more specific question about the club and the way it performs). You will attract a different audience depending on which path you take. Personally I thought the murphy hangout was a bit embarrassing but can certainly understand why it would appeal to some.
From my perspective the current formant doesnt work.
1. its on at a stupid time. Most people will be at school, uni or work - you limit those that have the capacity to 'hangout' despite many that might otherwise interest.
2. The guests are all wrong. We've had what? 4-5 offfield + 1 player. If you want a mix then it should be one week admin, one week player, one week off-field
Imo, a much better format would be to use the hangout as a game discussion forum with sellars/maher/player - each week you could have discussions on team selection, match ups, discussions about an individual role during a match, development etc. That is what would engage people.
In addition to that, have the off-field stuff as a once a month special rotating through the various people - makes it less intense for these guys (having to find people to front up without running out of staff to have on) and for the fans (serious discussion less their cup of tea).
Oh, and have it in the evenings so most of us actually HAVE the option to jump on!
