I can think of a couple of reasons not to join the hawks off the top of my head

Their supporters

Their guernsey

I’m sure there are plenty of others

You might perceive their supporters as annoying, but they have 30,000 more than us, so that's a positive as he gets to play infront of bigger crowds and gets more exposure for post career opportunities.

A guernsey is not a factor in what team you choose to play for, so I assume this is a joke.

They're a premiership contender - we're a bottom four contender.

They have newer, better, more accessible training facilities than us.

The only positive we can potentially offer is more money, and even that is an unknown.

I love my club, but there are very few actual reasons to want to play for MFC over most other clubs in 2026 and the near future sadly.

Side conversation - apparently Geelong likely to get Butters.

Was a very strong Dogs fan and many think he is headed to them.

still think this gets done before the deadline

Think there will be multiple Vic clubs after him and Hawthorn would make a lot of sense.

I did not enjoy that post.

On the bright side, we're authentic. The least sellout club available. And kids these days love a bit of boutique style.

Plus, Caulfield will have completed works and we'll be moved in soon... possibly before anyone gets around to announcung it.

That would be great.

I could live with no announcement, if they quietly started construction.

I saw a You Tube video where they assembled a pre-fabricated home in 1 day.

2 changing rooms (his and hers)

1 Admin room

1 Vault meeting room.

We can be in by the end of Feb!

I can’t handle the truth.

How many days until the season begins ? Please let’s get the round 1 asap

Sounds like an old demolished primary school from the 80s & 90s with portables and drinking troughs you have to kneel down to drink from!

In the end i'd rather the Hawks go after him. There's a few good Free Agents this year. Butters, comes to mind. i think he is 50/50 he leaves. I think they are at a cross-roads. Similar to where we were 2 years ago. They will try and fight through it as we did, but will likely arrive at the same conclusion that there list (albeit better balanced than ours was) has holes all over the park and will take some trading / drafting to get right. They are next in line after Collingwood and Geelong that will require a rebuild.

Collingwood after finished with no Bobby Hill.

If I could have reacted with a clap emoji as well as a laugh I would have.!!!

Didn’t you make enough out of the McVee defection?

Too soon?

Would everyone prefer Humphrey, or keeping the picks and maybe drafting another Langford and Lindsay?

I would prefer Humphrey. Ready to go, has already shown a very high ceiling and could be our next petracca but a better kick.
