Strategy 20 Hawthorn Premierships by 2050

[Strapping Young Lad]

Back in 2017 we kicked this off.

From the HFC website.
"2050 aims to see Hawthorn’s premiership tally rise to a total of 20 premierships by 2050, two of which the club aims to achievein the next five years.

The 33-year vision will guide the club to deliver long term objectives of continual growth, innovation and on-field success.

The club’s grand vision is formed by a series of five-year strategic plans; HFC1 2018 to 2022, HFC2 2023 to 2027, HFC3 2028 to 2032, and so on.

The first five year strategic plan titled ‘Dare to be Different’ will drive the club’s priorities and decision making through to 2022.

There are several strategic priorities outlined within ‘Dare to be Different’ including winning two premierships, achieving 100,000 members, developing a new training and administration facility at Dingley, securing an AFLW license and extending the club’s Tasmanian Government partnership."


So anyone know what the 2nd 5 year strategic plan is, because we're about to step into it.

Win some premierships....

Yep, not go public with how many Premiership’s we will win in the next 5 years

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I was at AGM in 2016 when all this got released, I thought 2 flags between 2017-2022 at that time was wildly optimistic and sadly that proved to be the case to an even higher degree than I expected.

 

[eldorado]

I wouldn't mind this strategy.

 

[HedgeFund]

• Tasmanian partnership about to finish
• 100000 members is a long way off
• 2 flags in the past 5 years clearly embarrassing in retrospect
• Dingley is going to take forever

BUT…..

AFLW licence started (but was inevitable in hindsight)

So I think it’s fair to say we failed on pretty much all levels save for those the AFL were driving.

[Ned Ryerson]

Mostly different board now, new president coming in, new coach, new assistants, new footy department head. The world is very different than what it was in late 2016.

I really hope they put a bullet in this embarrassment of a plan and come up with something new.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Instead of stating “win two flags before 2022” they should’ve just wrote “sign Lynch and Cogs”, I mean, that was clearly the strategy of the plan, and why it fell apart.

You say that as if getting Patton, Hendo and Scully wasn’t a stellar backup plan.

Don’t forget Tyrone

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Don’t forget Tyrone

I’d really like to though.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Right now I wouldn't mind sort of becoming the next Collingwood*.

This is actually good to bring up now putting aside the second phase. There has been quite a fair bit of us looking back at our trading in of players like JOM and Titch and Clarko’s hubris etc.

I wonder how much of this came from outside of Clarko’s orbit?

And then blame the coach for trying, despite the board and exec being 100% onboard.

Get this - if something fails spectacularly you’re allowed to blame those responsible. It’s an amazing concept!

That's why the Board have all been kicked out, and the President gone, and a new batch of Board members and a new President with new ideas are in place.

Or.... we had a big fuss last year with a challenge to the Board and then once on the Board they decided they will back the guy Kennett chose to replace him.

The head of the list strategy is gone, so to is the coach.

Do you think the board told these two people what to do, or did they simply agree to the strategy and plan presented to them by the football dept?

Id say they agreed with the plan, then signed off the plan.

Are Boards never at fault? They also signed Reeves on to a 5 year contract before he had implemented what he was initially brought on to do.

What are the good things the Board has done over the last 5 or 6 years?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Secured the AFLW license, appointed a new coach and director of footy who seem intent on playing a brand of football that is relevant in the modern game, have the club now rated as a culturally safe workplace, had us remain profitable during covid impacted seasons, got us out of pokies, kept our membership tally high despite on field results being lacklustre and a messy coaching turnover last year.

The board aren't perfect but we are a long way from needing a board challenge.

I think that generally speaking people want Jeff gone. He has agreed to leave and we will have a new president going forward.

If that doesn't eventuate then lets start arcing up. But until then can we not revisit this all again.

The new President is the guy Kennett chose. There was all the fuss last year to get someone new on the Board so they could be President, then they decided they didnt want to.

What changes with Kennett gone? A less powerful, less outspoken, hopefully less of an idiot President. But is 1 out of 3 good?

Nope - he is the guy that is presently the Vice President and that the selection committee asked to do the job at the end of their process of trying to select the new president.

Silk was never placed on the board to be president. He ran to be on the board - we got him on the board. He briefly put himself forward for the role but then pulled out - likely because he was getting the Crown gig which actually, you know, pays money.

Also only 3 remain on the board from the time this ill-fated vision was concocted. 2 will remain once Kennett departs. So what is it you want done with the 6 members of the board at present who never helped draft this plan?
