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.

    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

    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....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
