Terrible luck. i wish her well in her recovery missing harris and now Pearce for the year makes it very hard for us. It will be a great achievement if we can make top 4

i know there's a lot of comparisons to us in 2018 but the Hawks are much more skilled than us. the old Hawks hatred than has laid dormant for a while is back with a vengeance. I can't handle the thoughts of another period of the Hawks challenging. It's too depressing. I'm putting this thread on ignore

that surprises me. they were horrible last week. whereas we were excellent last week. we brought the heat and pressure which was missing last year. Harris and Pearce are big outs for us but i reckon we can cover for them The Lions will be much better but we'll win a tight one. Dees by 7

What’s risible is your gaslighting. 10 years and no home base. I hope the Caulfield project gets up but no one can say it’s not before time.

I think Brad Green will sponsor the review but an external consultant will be engaged to undertake the work and deliver a report.

Her specialist area was facilities. On that she didn’t deliver and that’s the bottom line. I think she was a good ambassador for the club. Very visible presence with the AFLW team. Got along to all the games, both men and womens. She had no idea about footy though. That’s fine if you have a specialist focus on the board but the president has to have a grasp of the fundamentals to preside. Her interview clearly demonstrated her lack of knowledge and unsuitability for the role. It’s why I think Steven smith will be perfect. He’s has very relevant presidential experience with the MCC but is also a 200 game former Dees champion. How many people are there out there with that dual skill set? I will say in terms of leadership, the way she has stepped down and selected an excellent candidate to succeed her, is leadership 101 and to her great credit.

dumb as a post naughton. Sheppard it through for christ sakes

dogs look gone. no answers

I reckon Darcy is more of a Unicorn than Luke Jackson

i don't like the look of the Hawks here.

The great German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, nickname ‘Der Kaiser’ (translated as the emperor) is recognised as the creator of the sweeper role (also known as the 'libero'). The sweeper is a defensive player who sits behind the defensive line, sweeping up and dealing with any balls played through the defensive line. Beckenbauer was a great distributor and was also very adept at setting attacks in motion.

All the Hawks fans are up and about again after a long interval. It's sickening to see. I hope the doggies smash em

Peter Jackson laid the foundations for our flag. Pert rode on the coattails of his work. Memberships and sponsorships have flowed from PJ’s stellar work rather than Pert’s. and the financial stability is a result of selling assets. assets which were acquired before his time. Pert oversaw the FD review that delivered Yze and a shake-up to the coaching team post 2020. Thats to his credit. Not much that has happened since that I can point to that he has done well He’s as much tied to the failed home base situation as Kate Roffey He has blathered on about culture more than anyone. There’s the legal case pending that he’s up to his neck in. I think the decks are being cleared as a result of whats coming down the track in this regard as much as anything else. 2 presidents have left under a cloud during his tenure. I reckon he’s in strife D17.

I think the ducks are lining up for Steven Smith to take over when he returns from his extended break overseas. I reckon he'll be in situ by rd one next year Very interested to see how the review rates the CEO's performance. I don't think Kate Roffey should be the only one to fall on their sword.

The club was a shambles in 2013 so to be part of the board that took the club from basket case to the flag is highly commendable. Thank you Kate.

Looks like the chiefs have developed a running game to make it even harder for the chasing pack. high quality game first up. Chiefs, again, will be the team to beat this year.

mahomes throws a pick! that never happens. Ravens D excellent again

aggressive play call from harbaugh on 4th and 3. Failed to convert to give the ball back to the chiefs on the halfway line. Ravens D has done well to keep chiefs to 2 filed goals last 2 drives

I got roped into sitting on the board of a member based organisation for 3 years. 500 members so small but it was a pain in the [censored]. there's was always someone complaining.

I reckon you should do the review Luci

If a trade rumour can knock him off kilter again then there’s no hope.

Chris Scott is the best coach in the league. Sickens me to say it.

We have gone back-to-back straight sets exits but at least we go down fighting. Pathetic from Port. And while the coach is part of the problem the senior players in that team have to be seriously questioned.

He's a classic FIGJAM but since he saved those 2 people in Torquay from drowning i can't hate on him like i used to.

I hope @picket fence is holding up ok.
