Kurt Tippett in GC17 Membership Promo

Postby Squawk » Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:31 pm

I was just perusing the GC17 website, and opened up their membership brochure to see what was on offer.

http://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/data/documents/Membership/GCFC_Membership_Brochure.pdf

What surprised me, was that Kurt Tippett features twice in two photographs. One is a pic of him photo-shopped alongside Judd, Rieuwoldt and (his name escapes me but a Brisbane player), and the second pic is of him in his Crows gear on a page where the Chairman and current Club Coach Guy McKenna are asking people to become innaugural members in 2009.

I thought it was pretty brazen to be using Tippett in a Crows guernsey to promote the future of the Gold Coast FC.

(BTW, memberships are $49!)

We are probably all going to hate the Gold Coast Tampons sooner rather than later.

They should merge with the Port Adelaide Periods now. Save me hating two teams.

Maybe Port Adelaide should be called the Periods. They only run once a month ;)

True, but Tippett is the only current AFL player shown twice - and there are only 2 pictures showing current AFL players. One is the "group shot", the other features him (solo) on the page with the Chairman and McKenna, in his Crows uniform.

And it's OK to use Juddy, Riewoldt & Merrett ?

They use those blokes as they're the teams playing on the Gold Coast this year. Well apart from Merrett, but who's pic would you put in from Richmond ?

Is he actually on there twice? Or is it two sides of the same picture, ie a spread page? Or am i missing something?

You might be right - one picture but because he is on the RHS, he shows up on two pages.

Actually Tippett is only on there once. Page 2 and 3 of the brochure is the same page. Take a look at the heading at the top. "JOIN THE JOURNEY in '09" is across both pages. On page 3 you are actually getting the right side of the "group shot" where you only see Tippett
