    We could just use Hawks:

    - Dynamic: Will will be amazing in patches and horrendous in others, you will never know what to expect

    - Respectful: We will respect the right of opposition teams to pull apart our game plan at will and never shall we waver in our belief that we need more inside mids

    - Selfless: Every other club comes first

    - Supportive: When our supporters are loosing their mind due to our on field performance, we will empathize with you and tell you we are hurting to

    - Relentless: We will handball at every opportunity and will relentlessly put our own under pressure

    Mission statements are just another example of corporate wankery invading sport... 

    They dont do a damn thing to improve performance, and the vast majority of employees couldnt tell you what their organizations Mission Statement was.

    We dont need one. Actions speak louder than words so the saying goes.

    wrong. mission statements may be "wanky" but a clear one has buy-in, is easy to understand, and is inspiring.

    They provide no measurable benefit that i know of. "Buy in" cant be scientifically measured because its based on feeling, not facts. 

    Be happy to read any research you know of that shows they have a positive benefit to any organization who institues them.

    Glad you agree that they are "Wanky" though :)

    Don’t agree it’s what a club/organisation stands for & values etc! It’s what all their decisions they make should be referenced to if not what do you stand for??? Agree getting buy in from all isn’t adhere to & in the case of a footy club if players don’t buy in say F off!

    Yeah but it doesnt mean that at all. It is what the Management of an organization tells their potential customers they stand for regardless of whether or not they mean it.

    Pick a random number of fortune 500 companies and read them..... Practically all generic waffle.

    An organization isnt just its leadership/management, its the employees who make the difference.... the same employees who dont know, and most likely dont give a stuff what their management says they "stand for". If you could show me a single organization of reasonable size, where more than 5% can tell you the mission statement is i would be genuinely shocked. The vast majority of employees couldnt care less if they had a Mission Statement or not. Its corporate wankery.

    P.S. Tell me honestly if you think we would have won premiership in the last 10 years if we had a mission statement, because that is the only reason we exist... to win premierships.

    P.P.S. Companies stand for profit. Profit for the owners and profit for the investors. Remove the profit and no amount of flowery Mission Statements will save it. The only "organization" who could write a genuine mission statement is probably a non-profit/charity because they wouldnt have to lie about money not being the main aim.

    Honestly .. I’ve supported the club my whole life & member for 20yr+ .. we have been a rudderless club for decades & Watch Norm Smith in 65 when he was sacked & his own words “we are slipping as a footy club” Peter Jackson is the only CEO I’ve been confident, Pert time will tell . All of our fixes prior to PJ were just band aid approaches .. we don’t have a proper home base.. look at the pies home base!  So what do we stand for if you don’t have a mission statement for your club?

    You stand for what you personally stand for. That doesnt change by writing it down using far more words than you need to, to impress other people. You either stand for it or you dont. Words can suggest you "stand for" anything. Actions show the real truth. That doesnt mean you failed to "buy in", it probably means you are happy to collect your paycheck each week, and leave the wanky [censored] to middle management types who are all for climbing the ladder by using Rah-Rah statements to stand out.

    Mission statements are worthless word salad.

    Quite right, Ding.   And if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
