Insightful Media Coverage

[FreeTK]

This is what I was hoping would come out on Fox Footy, not that trash 20 minute "doco"

We have by far the best stadium, best guernsey, now best media department.
Can we just form our own league already?!

Our media department have finally started turning up to work.

More often than not it is crickets from them.

One of the only good things about lockdown is the club recognising the need to engage more with the members and supporters.

Well there’s not many people left at the club at the moment due to the current situation. The media department are one of the few sections of staff that have been retained.

Sorry, was a rant at jakovich saying WC/Freo and WA's should just shut up and do as the vfl says.

 

[Truckosaurus]

In fairness, he had to do that for most of his career.

Looking more Venables than Venables!

You're being to harsh on Jako.

There was an article in the West a few weeks ago where he gave the AFL a good rip if they didn't have a hub in WA.

It's too close to potential resumption date to be getting worked up over bias. When you have a monumental task at hand (winning a flag from a ****ing hub), it can serve as a distraction. The club needs it's attention and energy to be directed towards where it is best served, and that is preparing for whatever the season brings.

It's time to knuckle down and get it done.

Like Simmo said, "we can throw the toys out of the cot later on".

Kane Cornes giving Nic, Sampi and Ryan a mention. All great marks. I do like the Sampi mark at the City end of the MCG

Loving this F,F,F series

The total lack of hype from the club about it is super strange. They should be pushing it heaps.

 

[Tugga27]

Sounds reasonable but doubt it will happen.


Jeff Kennett says AFL supporting 12 clubs will be ‘unsustainable’

The next three years will prove a test for all clubs to prove their value to the competition, Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has declared.
The Hawks are one of six clubs that receive no financial assistance from the AFL, and Kennett said he believes the time will come for the remaining 12 to show that they are capable of improving their financial performance.

“When we get the game back and starting flowing again, (it will be time) to sit down and work out … how are we going to position this industry for the future?,” Kennett said on Fox Footy.

“That’s the challenge. That’s where I think there’s going to have to be structural change, and we’ve got to be courageous enough to bring it about.”

He said it was “unsustainable” to think that the assistance model could continue in its current form, “and secondly that we continue to have 12 clubs totally dependent on the AFL”.

The AFL hasn’t stipulated this, but I would always say you’ve got to have KPIs (key performance indicators), and I’d be looking to a period three years from now where you’d be saying, ‘all right, let’s have a look at the clubs’,” Kennett said.

“What have they done in the three years that we’ve been supporting them? Have they increased their independence or have they not? And if they haven’t, then you’ve got to look at yourself and say, ‘well, how long can we just continue to support organisations that cannot at least improve their financial performance?’.
“That’s the challenge, but it’s a challenge for the next three years, in my opinion, for all clubs.

“If you look at the five or six, our challenge is to stay unassisted. Our challenge is to continue to find other revenue streams, so that we will not have to burden the AFL with borrowings beyond what they pay for the salary cap.”

 

[DanWCE]

Would Hawks be in with the 6 or the 12 without pokies?

 

[WCE_phil]

Would Hawks be in with the 6 or the 12 without pokies?

Would they be in the 6 without the Tasmanian government?

 

[ukurrie]

And the Hawks were *this* close to becoming the Melbourne Hawks 25 years ago.
