Prediction Dr Sonja Hood AM

[ferball]

Yes they are. Eddie Mcguire on his podcast with Jimmy Bartel said “Jenn Watt emphatically voted against the rise in soft cap” during the CEO meetings. There are factors to this as Jen Watts bonuses are linked to the club making profit and the AFLW

The soft cap has not been raised to pre covid levels as the differential is used to prop up the AFLW. A competition that bleeds money.

Why did she vote against it?

Because its a disadvantage to us for wealthier sides to have more money to spend on their soft cap.

Means we have more chance to make a loss over the season and that increases the risk to our long term future.

Some of that is fact and some of it is your interpretation of the facts to fit your world view.

 

[Sillygit]

Its not tin foil hat when its been reported from reputable sources. Stay in your echo chamber. Dont venture out because you’re scared, too many nasty critters out there

You're not nasty, you're just a sad little man.

Yeh I'm no club apologist (far from it) but if we voted YES to a soft cap arms race we'd need our heads read.

Fwiw Sonja's comments vs Collingwood game.

**** this playing group, start actually playing with some expectation and hiding behind "little wins".

If she'd come out with Jamie Macmillan

"hope" I would've thrown up.

 

[DrZaius]

I don't see how internal belief that we can and will win every single week can possibly be construed as a negative?
Even if it was said in a light hearted/joking manner it 100% needs to be our mentality.

 

[ohh_v]

Good call boss.

 

[DuckYeah]

Good call boss.

The call is fine. Hope she gets on the radio this week

because we don’t win

 

[The Nostradamus]

looking forward to her radio interview this week

Maybe start by sacking Rawlings

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

People on this forum make me laugh. We can’t blame Sonja or the board. We need stability. It’s not Clarko and the coaches fault. We need stability. It’s not the playing list because Brady needs stability…... It would seem we are just really really unlucky. In a competition designed to allow equalisation via a draft and salary cap we are just an unluckily anomaly year after year game after game. No one is to blame other than the gods. We best not change them either cos you know …stability

Hard to imagine so many correct decisions that have been foiled by bad luck!

Oh well

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Oh well

As long as everyone gets along….

 

[Arathrawn]

So where do we sit on the Stability ladder?

Checked the AFL website, can't find it?

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Has she quit yet?

Unsure, but we’re right up there in the expected score ladder.

 

[Dinkers]

This is my issue and why we need change and need it now.





Above is the ugly Pies and their values. And I get them as they're clear and not a steaming pile of bullshit.

Do better with regards to racism - fair enough and agree.

Side by Side - support each other, basic but makes sense.

Inclusion - perfect, makes sense.

Strive for success - why the **** not I say.


Then let's look at ours ( lol)



Real be ourselves - What are you seeing, or doing, point me in the direction of authenticity. 100 % corporate bullsh!t

BOLD Never step back - lol, I am yet to see a calculated risk and yet again this dribble isn't quantifiable.

BELONGING - Club for all, hardly earth shattering and no different to anyone else, actually our "all" is one of the smaller "alls" doing the rounds.

NEVER BEATEN- LOL, grit, must be a typo, starts with " sh.." Learn", enlighten me to your learnings. I could learn you a thing or 2 with a red pen and harsh dose of reality. Not sure NMFC understand, continuous improvement or relentlessly finding ways to win.

I work for a global firm, who is equally as full of shit as NMFC, I attended a client meeting last week and our KPI score was 12, now I didn't know whether it was out of 5 per each point or 10. I didn't dare ask lol.

So we either got 12/60 or 12 / 120.

So my point is I know when someone's authentic or saying what they believe the masses want to hear. The Pies are rather authentic and we are 100% full of shit.


Now I have no clue as to whether our "values" are the doings of Sonya or someone else. I'd love to see them removed and we focus on something a little more tangible.

Try really hard - we at north will try to improve.

Bold- we will learn from our trading/ drafting **** ups and sack Rawling. And anyone else who comes up with a hairbrained scheme.

Never beaten - Celebrate the occasional win.

Bit of a nothing "job justification" mail from her just now. Didn't really say anything we didn't already know.

 

[r_boy]

Spare me - sick of explanations and excuses.

The results show contempt for the members and for each other and yourselves! Actions speak louder than words.

Build a functional team system of football, or STFU.

‘Quick PR, I need to put out something…’

‘I got you…’

I didn't know either. Great result in the current circumstances. I'm not sure what people expect from her but if she kicks five goals against the Eagles then we'll all be happy i guess.
