My favorite subject ........... most of the 'club apologists or even new age posters' won't like these but since when have I cared.
Off field
1. Get a home ground advantage to help us compete with interstate teams (off field and on field) and play interstate teams there - PP as 50k stadium is ideal.
2. 1 will add more dollars via ground sponsorship, membership sales, hospitality, etc.
3. 1 should also get us out of Marvel and at the MCG for all other games. Better surfaces and hence protect our players and kids bodies
4. Need to get a Neil Balme into our club to set a few straight. My suggestion - GET SOS back as Football Director/Manager.
5. Keep building our outside of football revenue. Investing in commercial property. Starting up CFC businesses, etc. If it means more pokies, so be it. I want this club to be a powerhouse financially again.
6. Remove the white away strip.
On field
1. Get our culture of winning at all costs back. Close enough isn't good enough - good luck with this one!!!!
2. Develop a game plan that helps us compete 1 v 1. Every time we play a man behind the ball - we get annihilated. We need to not allow the loose man back. Man them up.
3. Play our KP forwards deep and forget the small out of the square.
4. Rotate our midfielders with youth and a balance of inside, outside, pace and spread.
5. Bring back the boxing ring and get our guys to become more physical.
6. Get the best assistant coaches available. Replace current group and start a fresh. Add a tackling coach.
7. Get a phycologist that knows what they are doing and get's these guys minds right from day one of the year!!!
8. Get our own VFL team up and running. If there is one good thing COVID did, this might be the one.
