It's not often when I give Norf credit, but their positive anti gambling stance must be commended. And I think it's about time for us to follow their lead, and decommission our poker machines. We can't claim to be the family club when we so actively participate in something that breaks up families.
We're a strong enough club now to survive on our own. I understand that post Jackson era,clubs find it harder to survive, but at Hawthorn we can do it. We have 60k members, and lots of recent success for us to grab more. In the end, isn't leeching off helpless families and pensioners just as bad as leeching off the AFL, if not worse?
I don't know if there is anything we can do as members, maybe raise it at this year's AGM. It's the kind of stuff I expect of nasty corrupt clubs like Carltank, not us.
