NMFC mentions on television & wireless

[Benno_900]

360 was a bit soft.

I don't think anybody actually cares much about North. We've lost all respect that we gathered last season. And rightly so.

On AFL360 tonight, Wayne Campbell uses Lindsays free against *Melksham as an example of what will no longer be free kick, even though he cops a whack to the jaw clearly visible from one angle, in fact under the new interpretation he would have been penalised for incorrect disposal

 

[Chazdog92]

I'll be watching footy classified. Garry Lyon normally defends us because he is best mates with JB. Interesting to see if he has a real go with Caro.

Oh great so they're going to give frees against players who have been whacked high. That's gunna be a great look for the image conscious AFL.

Focus on 360 and On The Couch has been 1) Brad's back, 2) Goodes.

We deserve a harsh spotlight but keep getting overshadowed.

 

[niko11]

Talking Footy.. Wayne Tim and Darcy said North dont have a plan B....

 

[muttley45]

Jonathan Brown gave us a reasonable clip, with video evidence to back it up, bravo, we deserve to cop our medicine after that debacle

 

[archereleven]

Anyone have links to the shows?

It was all obvious stuff but good to see it packaged together.

Disagree. Jonno Brown went real hard on us. Some of it very damning, especially some of the figures they presented.

I thought 360 was reasonably balanced. On one hand they made reference to Hawthorn missing Lewis and Hodge and getting stitched up, but also said we were in a mini crisis falling apart the way we did. Also took a shot at our selection interchanging fringe players.

 

[Chazdog92]

Copped quite a serve on footy classified.

Yep Brown served it up us and FC was damning

I'm not one of those rich people with foxtel. Those clips they chose were not flattering. Especially how Atley and bastinac have stagnated.

 

[Harris 10]

You mean you're one of those smart people that doesn't waste money on Foxtel.

 

[marklovesbeer]

It's embarrassing.

After reading Duck's recent scribbles, I have to say I am shocked and disappointed by his continuing lack of support and acknowledgement for 'the Kangaroos'. This time, by inferring that the Gold Coast are turning footy into a nanny state, he has again neglected our great club, perhaps forgetting how far we have come from those wild, undisciplined times of the 90s.

Wayne, let me inform you that North has been the role model nanny club for several years now. We instilled the values of care and protection through ground-breaking methods - avoiding the use of discipline, creating a friendly happy atmosphere within the club, removing any fear-factor among authority figures such as coaches, avoiding trauma amongst 'special' boys by preventing them being sent to reform programs in North Ballarat or Werribee, and giving the boys the opportunity to think things through for themselves when they have behaved badly. No other club has achieved what we have.

I have heard that there will be a rebranding of the Shinboner tag....to that of the 'Shinguarder', "in recognition of the need to protect the Shinbone at Arden Street from any possible bruising due to unnecessary contact".

Go the Nannyroos.

But we play good at rock paper scissors.

 

[Black2Blue]

Used to be good, that is..... It's been cut from our training regime due to the risk of injury from the rock and scissor part of the game.

 

[sbdan]

You got to make everyone feel secure in their position so they can flourish. That's why we locked in the coach and players into long term contracts and we never drop anyone. I'm sure it will work eventually.

Like the idea of the shin guarder. Should be a mandatory part of our uniform.

 

[Gasometer]

But seriously...

I get a bit sick of Duck's rolling out of the good ol days on the piss tales.

Don't get me wrong, they were a great team, but there were 'wtf' games I can distinctly remember in that era and some of the Finals where I cant help but think what they could have done on half the grog-partying they did.

I remember a game we played at the G on a Sunday in 1997 and Footscray came out and beat us up by 30 odd points...it was a really poor performance on their standards...I thought they would all go home and lick their wounds...nah, nekminit I am at 'The Tunnel' and half the team is running around on the piss.

Oh well it was it is, but just sayin'.....

 

[KangaRooster]

The club isn't posting any of the AFL 360, league teams etc. stuff on the official site so why aren't they allowing giantroo to chop them up and post it here?

Was great last season, I had fox footy (no longer the case) but stopped watching any of the AFL related shows waiting for the 2 minutes they spent on North, because a few hours later it was waiting for me right here.

Nah, that's Eddies.

Hi KangaRooster,

I've sent you a PM regarding this.
