Nah the narrative will continue until all our good players have left and we are 1:10 every Sunday.

The irony is our supporter base favour the 1:10 starts on Sunday.

    In my experience I really hate the whole setup of boards. They generally have no idea what's going on in day to day operations. They get there information glossed over by one source, normally the ceo, who is just looking out for themselves. 

    I knew a great CEO that was replaced and the culture went toxic, very quickly. It took at least 5 years for the board to get an inkling that something was wrong with the culture and that CEO was the fault. In that time I'd say more than half the workforce quit.

    There wasn't anyone making the CEO accountable and that lost link of accountability caused the downfall of everything.

    This is where we should never of failed. We need everyone accountable but preferably by more that 1 person. Transparent from top to bottom.

    That will kill this Club. It is so selfish it’s why’s best for the Club to profit and bring the best footy for its supporters and if we keep laying the bland  contest and defence without attack we will perish and fall on our own sword. 

    Let’s read the tea leaves and see the recent premier who dared to lose before the final crowning justifiably rewarded them. 

    The Strategic plan still lives 50,000 ave MCG crowd and 75,000 plus membership. And financial growth through sponsorship and corporate excellence.

    Unless the MFC roll out the Eddie McGuire model that worked so well for the Pies, come out firing against anything that is untrue or unsubstantiated stay a bit angry and a bit Cranky Franky a bit edgy and predictable, Club first rhetoric. Show no mercy to the Media lightweights and give them a pat on the back when they say something positive. Go after specific dung throwers and put them off their game, the supporters will enjoy it and the AFL will take notice that we are no longer the Lambs to the Slaughter. 

    Great post only way to go to destroy the likes of Barrett Marclure and Cornes some of the time.

    The 1:10pm Sunday time slot is actually a great crowd puller for families and IMO would draw better crowds than Saturday night games in winter which we had a bunch of this year.

    Carlton V Hawthorn drew 84K for the early Sunday game and we also attracted a very surprising 32K to our early game against West Coast on the back of some very ordinary form. Had that game been a Saturday night game, we would’ve no don’t struggled to get 20K.

    I do agree with your point that attractive winning footy will see the crowds increase.

    Give me a 1.10pm game over a night game any day, I can actually take my kids and get home before midnight.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
