Just completed the Bombers club membership survey for 2025.
What an absolute corporate wank of a survey.
No wonder this club is going down the gurgler.
Zero room for engagement or reflection on the actual football and football team.
Just a whole lot of sponsorship questions, community program questions and product questions.

Thats a worry SR , The club really needs to have a serious look at why so many players continue to want to leave , The AFL seems to be getting like the EPL - a few clubs at the top continue to attract all the best out of contract ( and in contract ! ) players and stay powerful , while the rest spiral down . I have zero hope for the bombers for at least the next 3-5 years given whats going on, and it could be much, much longer .

It could be that Buckley has made a poor choice. Not that I would wish the Demons position onto anyone.

As for the Bombers, move the wanna leaves on, build a team based on those who want to be there. You have some young talent, it will be okay.
