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.
