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

    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....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
