Anyone know it’s the same ones as the QB game ?

Can’t believe this.. we must be cursed feel for Trac

I hope so mate & would love to see our home base secured once & for all 😎

Pert will still be the consultant for the Caulfield site , I take your point on board members

Well we can only hold the current board inc Pert responsible since 2018 & agree previous ones have failed but they were obsessed of having a home base around the mcg precinct which I believe stopped them from looking at other alternatives, I hope they get Caulfield but I can see stumbling blocks in funding in particular gvt $$ have dried up!

Club announced in 2018 they were close on a site around AAMI park district which Pert was apart of, we will be the only club with no home base with bulldogs redevelopment complete & tigers on the way! It’s no wonder we struggle to attract decent free agents who would want to drive 50mins to Casey! Caulfield will be another 5 years away if it happens & yes they should have a plan B , even the Swans found a way to build a 60 mill state of the art only a few minutes away from the SCG!

Reality is Hawks have orchestrated 2 home bases in the last 25 years & we have been going around in circles, what is Perts plan B if Caulfield fails?? So possibly another 5 years up in smoke .. sorry based on past history confidence isn’t great!

It’d become boring talking about Trac and questioning he’s every move.. let him climb the mountain of getting back to fitness along with his mental ability of putting his body online, I’m sure all of us would be struggling to deal with this!

Anyone considered it’s part of his mental recovery, until people understand what trauma can do to you, eg read Nathan Camelleri story

Yet we are still in business case mode

Consolation is no interstate trips in the last 7 rounds

The argument of easy draws is on the AFL for the flawed competition

Get ready for Sunday games

Unfortunately we will never know fundamentally what are the issues and what the whole Petracca & Oliver saga, not sure what to make of Goodwin being too involved .. it’s baffling the shift in connection from winning a flag to what’s occurred & if so how a CEO was the issue

We will ever find out what are the issues around culture & what caused the issues with Trac

Questionable game plan, haven’t been able to improve the list with poor trades since 21 & fix our fwd issues, the bungled trade of Grundy & the words he used of how much they valued him only to stop playing him, whose to blame the list mgt team , how much say does he have in the trades? The improvement will need to come from the same list and the younger talent as I can’t see a back up ruck who will keep Fullerton company doing much .. great trade period again

Pert & co have been there since 2018 and I’m sorry many missed opportunities & blinkers on the mcg precinct … Even the swans found a place not far from the scg …. Honestly Caulfield is a pipe dream! Port Melb fishermen bend development was announced years ago and a club port melb ground in need for redevelopment, same theme song successful history… all those warehouses are going around & in fact the council are turning one of them into a sports oval …understanding commercials are complex but which players are attracted to drive 50mins to Casey … nothing against Casey either but were was the thinking behind this with previous boards

Correct, utterly frustrating watching other clubs secure funding whilst watching us go around in circles!

Looking at the time line over the last 25yrs it shows how poorly our administration has performed & going around in circles! The current Pert & co need to be questioned if this falls over! Both hawks & Collingwood found sites outside of their original home grounds and the hawks are onto their 2nd site!

Tick to pick 9 , tick to getting in young talent and sharp is unknown. We definitely have an issue in attracting ready made talent as per Houston comments, when you compare what the other clubs have trading in ..our continue failure to bolster our fwd line & hoping our defenders become fwds..

It’s unbelievable the pies are looking at Membrey whilst we sit in our hands thinking that defenders will become fwds! For last 3 seasons we have traded in zip

Fair point just frustrated why our club appears to be irrelevant

Great trade period watching other clubs secure ready made talent ! Park pic 9 aside not sure Sharp & Campbell re having huge impacts! Zero fwds unbelievable!

Another trade period .. who did we pick up a ruck playing at his 4th club , a winger from the lions, no disrespect to them ..comparing to other clubs we just can’t attract any ready made talent .. great to see our fwd line beefed up

Any chance our club will pick up a forward.. it’s only been an issue since 2022!
