we're coming along in leaps and bounds....golly it's exciting, these times.......

How about we ask the AFL to schedule more home games at Marvel, the SCG and the GABBA!   Might produce a better result on the W/L ledger BZ.  The only downside is i probably wouldn't see many of the interstate wins!

I could handle it RN. Winning in Brisbane/ Sydney/ Perth is way way way better than losing at the G. Play the GF at the SCG if that is what it takes to win a GF. In fact transfer to Tassie if that will win us a flag. Anything will be better than the last 55 years.

As I've said for the last few years, with our list and game style we will be much better off and improve our chances of making finals more regularly playing out of Marvel.

P.S. our success at Marvel isn't coincidental IMO.  Pre Roos era we were rubbish there.  His view/impressions/experience prior coaching experience at the Swans on a ground similar in dimensions.  Game style and list built around winning on that ground.  Brings similar to the MFC.  We start winning more often at Marvel as a result of similar framework, rebuild and 'type' of player recruiting/training and methods.  The GABBA probably most similar in size as well.  100% win record albeit small sample.  Is that just before the bye or all matches since Goody took over ABG?

Goody inherited a style / list that isn't designed to go all that well on the much larger territory of the G, more success on SCG sized grounds.  And that's how it's panning out.

Stadium Dimensions:

SCG:  155 x 136m

Marvel:  159.5 x 128.8m

MCG:  173.6 x 148.4m

Optus: 165m x 130m

Adelaide Oval:  167 x 123m

GABBA:  156 x 138m

Metricon:  161 x 134m

Giants Stadium:  164 x 127.5m

GMHBA:  170 x 115m

We beat Geelong in a  final at the MCG because they are an insecure  team away from home in big  games and Hawthorn as well in a final because we played a tough brand of football. We were on a role before the finals. We didn't look slow then.                                         It is definitely a confidence problem and injuries play a big role .

No doubting this Soup.  Possibly fitness and conditioning too.  Effects ability to execute anything well for long enough to stay in a match.  That inability to execute effects confidence.  From there doubts creep in in self and trust in team mates.  Nose dive from there.  Can be done but difficult to pull out of.

A transfer to Tassie sounds drastic OD, would that make us the Tassie Devils!??

Probably but we are destined to  fade from view unless we get a home soon and I need a good run of winning seasons, another  decade of this crap  is a bridge too far for me.

Waverley Park OD.  It's old and probably  in need of a big refurb but beggars can't be choosers.   Hawks grabbed a bit of silver using that as their base so it can't be too bad surely.

Doesn't have to be forever either.  Some say we dont need a proper home to perform/win flags etc but i don't buy it.  Having a home would bring a spirit and connection to the club by all involved and might be the key final piece in the puzzle that's been missing for 55 years.

You have my vote RN but how long before the Hawks vacate? 

I might add my vote is worth nine tenths of bugger all.

IMO we cannot wait till 2022 and the only ones who would agree to Waverly would be you and me. As there is no location to vote on our votes won't be required RN.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
