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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
