News Hawthorn AGM 2022

[Strapping Young Lad]

Absolutely scathing. And his opinion holds weight.

He hasn’t missed anyone. Ouch.

 

[peetoo]

Langers.

Well that’s got me off the fence

 

[SammyC]

Whack.

How can anyone objectively say the club is in a great place? Time for change.

 

[TFFM]

Thanks Langers...confirmed my vote

 

[hfc70]

Any truth to the rumour , the current President wants the Dingley project renamed ? Apparently wants the DY to be replaced with TT !?

 

[Mojo]

Does anyone know how the process of endorsement works from past players, coaches, and clubmen?

I'm curious how some of these endorsers would know the personalities of the presidential candidates or politics of the current HFC to voice their support.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Now Dipper.

 

[A Diakos]

Genuine question - how is it that you can deem letting the club president continually, ferociously and personally attack the government of this state when we needed them for funding - to the point where it then cost us said funding to the tune of $15-20M is doing a good job. On what metric is that kind of failure of leadership in any way quantifiable as good?

Dan s government has been polarising to say the least

He’s allowed to critique especially as an ex premier

The 15 mill funds are allocated and ultimately will be released

Good governance In making the right decision with coach , and with our economic management of club $

 

[Hawkk]

Langers.

Would be dream team stuff to get him on the board

There's thoughtful criticism and then there's conspiracy theorist rubbish like that brain fart of a tweet saying we'd all be in lockdown until after Christmas (which was weaponised by all the right wing nutters as some kind of insider intel).
Jeff was all but daring the government to withhold the Dingley funding, it's political partisan madness. Can't stand him or his lackeys

 

[Mercy Seat]

Langers.

Wow. Go Langers.

Would be wonderful to get him back to the club in some capacity.

 

[Nugett]

Wow. Go Langers.

Would be wonderful to get him back to the club in some capacity.

Him and Dunstall

 

[Mercy Seat]

Langers.

Interestingly, this is the well articulated view of many prominent Hawks supporters and probably verbatim what Gowers, Sill and Merlino think, and yet if I had any criticism of each of their campaigning is that they’ve gone the super nice, inoffensive route.

Which may end up being the successful approach, but doesn’t necessarily cut through the way that Langers just has. The fact we have seemingly informed posters here saying “it ain’t broke don’t fix it” still, might be testament to that.

I don’t give a toss about Dan Andrews or Labor v Liberal. I give a stuff about the Hawthorn Football Club. You can’t claim there is good governance on club finances when there’s a $15-20M hole in the budget for Dingley that we now have to eat into cash reserves for because our president couldn’t shut his bloody mouth for the good of our club. That’s not remotely in the ballpark of good governance.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Wow. Go Langers.

Would be wonderful to get him back to the club in some capacity.

Wish he would be in a position to put his hand up for President

Well said.

 

[Topiary]

Well said.

I could not agree more and have told my very close contact at H4C the same. Kennett and his colleagues will go hard. They will not “play nice”. H4C need to as well. It must go hard.

Langers just did. Dipper sort of and H4C have more to deliver.

His govts been so similar to Jeff’s own premiership it’s not funny. Only a few don’t see that

Disgraceful them saying they can’t work with new entrants to the board, especially after spending months ‘finding’ there’s no aspirants than them?

You don’t own it guys. Maybe we’ll need to keep track of the vote in case they fall on their swords, and subs are required

And if dingley can’t proceed without the board being hands on, they’ve fukked that up too (of course it will)

 

[Jaeger007]

Look forward to Andy being our next President.

Doesn’t get more scathing of current board from a much more revered & admired name than Langers. He speaks members listen. Hopefully he can get back & serve the club is some capacity under Andy.

 

[peetoo]

No, surely it’s not all about Jeff. The club is bigger etc etc

 

[Nugett]

He has always been Hawthorn through and through. Has never been scared to lead the way and fight for club. Much respect to Langers.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Langers has lined them up!

 

[TylerDurden]

I've never seen Chris this outspoken. It's a massive support for Gowers.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I’ve read Gowers / merlino mantra

They have no substance and have used cliches and fluff on the main

The current board is doing a good job

“Time for change” applies to a mulfunctuoning board which is not the case here

If the whole board is United In it’s endorsements, than they (time for change camp ) are indeed renegades

This is not 1996 where we had a malfunctioning board

We have a strong United and sound board that deserves to be backed in
