THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SATISFY IS A PREMIERSHIP CUP AND I EXPECT THESE BOYS TO BE SO MOTIVATED THEY WIN IT IN JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't hold your breath MR. 2021/2022 maybe. No one goes from 17 to 1st in one season let alone the MFC. Return to finals in 2020 is the max. You can expect.

I can't make it as wife is getting her hair done and I'm on parebting duties, but can someone who is going;

1. Go into a long diatribe about our lack of success for the past 50 odd years;

2. Declare that Goodwin is stubborn, doesn't have a plan B and will he learn in the way that Hardwick and Buckley have. 

3. Complain about the club 'pressuring' members into renewing membership to keep reserved seats.

Timely article in today's Age on Hawthorn's new facility at Dingley

"After recording another multi-million dollar profit Hawthorn say they are on track to build their elite training, administration and community centre in Dingley by the end of 2022, with close to $29 million already gained via fundraising to pay for the ambitious project.

The Hawks have declared the next six months as being critical to realising their vision as they look to secure planning approval and further funding for the initiative which is budgeted to eventually cost the club $110 million.

The club says the Kennedy Community Centre project will be transformative by establishing the premier sporting and community precinct in the south-east of Melbourne as they work towards realising their goal of winning 20 premierships by 2050 and two premierships within the next five years."

4. ask when we would stop hearing words and start seeing actions and when they answer, just scream "MORE WORDS!!"

It’s all about winning. Nothing else makes it.

Imagine if we stated that as our goal... the scary thing is we know they're not stupid goals for the hawks.

Absolutely. It’s just standard issue for Whorethorn. We showed them how to do it, and then lost it....

Staggering really

We train @ a paddock ... whilst pies train on a purpose build ground ..  I guess for all their $$ facilities it’s 1 flag in the last 20yrs so you need a lot of things to be right

Whorethorn get it right. 
The Filth are a good organization, but they talk to much. 
Whorethorn just do it. Look at that game in Canberra this year in the Snow. They go up there in short sleeves and win Comfortably. No fuss. Just get it done. 
Meanwhile the MFC collapses for 12 months....

[praha 11,232]

Horrid, really, that two games essentially make or break our profit-loss margin. We are set for a loss this year.

The club took the high road and pulled out of the pokies. It claims it's in as good a position as ever but is selling assets and home games. We still don't have a home ground and just saw one of the most significant drops year on year in history.

Bartlett and Pert have a lot to answer for. 

And the club's performance puts even more pressure on Goodwin to perform.

We have one good year and then revert back to garbage and financial losses. 

I hope those in attendance [censored] grill them.

Someone please post something from the forum. Haven’t got much time left on my dinner break. Anything will do, what are the refreshments like?

My upgrade to a Grand Final guarantee membership didn’t cut it.

No Steve besides the poor results year they said both the Tigers Anzac Eve and QB games were away games in 2019 which had a big influence on financials. Also said that loss was covered from money in the bank so our debt has not increased.

Typical hysterics

[old dee 23,777]

Interesting that IMO Pert and J M come over as well as speakers. They sound like they know what they are talking about. Our coach hmm not so much. But perhaps I am just biased.

It’s pretty easy to see, Whorethorn plan their Flag Assaults, whereas we think about it, hope and then get pushed out of the way. 
Whorethorn want 7 Flags in 30 years, business as usual really. 
when does The MFC start fighting...Properly???

A question was asked of Pert did he think training their would cost us a flag? His Answer the Pies won while training there.
