Says the bloke who is often the one doing the shooting. GAGF Slobbo.

As soon as the third started I thought oh f*** I manifested this.

It’s this. We’re at zero. Gavin Brown was here for too long. Who knows if Barlow is really any good. We’ll see in a few years time. We are floating in an ocean of nothingness.

I call bullshit. (not on you GR) There is simply no way that 500 people signed up in the last week or so. No one who understands anything about football would be signing up and anyone who was a North Supporter would have signed up through the preseason before we were s**t. I have long...

Probably. and this is a shuffling deck chairs bit as we debut a kid we took as a Mid/Fwd as a HBF. I'd bring in Archer and move McDonald to the Half back line. He's not getting dropped. bring George in play him there too. Scott to the wing, Fisher to the forward line(or out of the team), and...

He would probably make a some difference. He's currently 37 would be 38 by the end of the year. I have no doubt if we took him in the mid season draft he'd pull the jumper on and probably show a bunch of our kids what leadership actually was. HE would also likely expose some of our leaders a lot.

It’s because something has to give and no one appears to know what that thing is. There is also likely a subconscious element of ‘at least we won’t break him’ going on. No one has answers on how to get outta here other than time and even then nothing is guaranteed. We’ve all learnt this...

If the club had the resources and really wanted feedback they’d call a 10% sample of the members who didn’t attend and ask them why. Make the players do it. Hear why these people who wore existential threats have stopped attending. Hear the pain that what is being dished up is causing. North...

Football is optional for the players. Why would attending be mandatory for the fans?

My daughter who is 8 made me a card that said sorry for North Melbourne not winning and she drew me a picture of a kangaroo. She will never be a passionate supporter. not now, not ever. She only ever comes to games under sufferage. my son who is 21 on the other hand I feel guilt for...

Looking at the league factoring teams current form and our own, if the entire league stay where they are and we have some modicum of improvement the next potential win for us is round 21 against Richmond (who are only really where they are because injury which they will have likely overcome)...

I really don't see how getting in any kid is the answer to anything. I mean we will probably do it because we seem to have a fixed focus on some distant future point which may or may not arrive. but sure, lets churn another kid. Crush his dreams right in front of his face. why not.

Play players in roles they can feasibly play now. We be acting like some ethereal point in the future things are just all gonna click into place and we have ebbed away all confidence within the team to even play the game. I used to say we were a long way from anywhere. We are now no where...

I do agree. We heard about Selwood vs Lachie for Lachie's entire career. The Reid stuff is like saying we should have taken Martin instead of Cunners. Anyway, on to Will, he gets a run of games now. He's gonna have ups and downs but I will back him to not shirk it like some of the felines...

I feel like this about going to games.

Nah not understanding and not caring are two different things. I don't believe that they are not listening and I will go so far as to say that there are a bunch of players, the younger ones, who we are burning with the weight of our ineptness. I wonder how many of them need to talk to Sports...

I wonder if we wouldn't be better served getting in two meat axe recently retired AFL players who can grind through the shitshow that is our AFL team while we drop two kids who need dev time to the VFL. I mean typically MSD draft selections don't hit, especially with us, so why not buy some...

Two teams on zero wins. one would walk away a winner. The other is North. The test will be in July when we play Gold Coast. there is a real possibility we get sub 10k to that game.

I don’t think they’re checked out. I think there confused and lost. I could not tell you what we are trying to do at ball ups. I could not tell you what we are trying to do when we move the ball. I have zero faith that they could explain it either.

If we’re pumping games into players I’ll take a bloke like Phillips over one of the skiddish outside players everyday. So many flaky players. Pick 1 and play Will instead of them.

Let’s look at the evidence. Evidence says, yes we are. Gets worse. We’re gonna hear about the last round in 23 every time Reid does anything of note.

Nope 5.5 in the first half 5.3 in the second.

Surely this should be the number 1 priority at the club. Got nothing else going on.

Yep. And this is clearly a known thing and absolutely a factor in the first 5 opponents we had.

I left the game earlier than I ever have today. As I walked from the ground I felt relief at not watching whatever it was we served up in the last quarter. It’s not all on the players but what is happening is as bad as any one side has ever been. It’s and bad as under Noble. We lost all...

Yep. He’s a leader. Into the leadership group next year.

Was smashed in a contest in the first quarter took him some time to get up.

I’ve held fast to this for 3 seasons and we seem as far away now as we’ve ever been. Our current average losing margin is 51 points. We’re as bad now as we ever were under Noble. Except now instead of having blokes like Ziebell or Goldy or Cunnington We have McDonald, Simpkin and Corr. All...

We played the wrong Father Son on Gini. Should have played Arch.

Neither Pink nor Biggie will be on the list next year.
