The fact is we are a rebuilding team.
Jy I really like but to think a barely AFL standard in McDonald as Captain shows exactly why we are terrible

You know what, yes we have been shocking for a long time, but that has been based on a multitude of different circumstances. There is no need to list them because we all know what they are.
We now (finally) have some serious talent on our list and a coaching team that actually knows what they’re doing. We are a young young team with a weak defensive line and a lack of experience, but I believe we will get there.
I highly doubt the players are going to walk around disenchanted and sad because a) they are excited and competitive and youthful and b) they want to succeed (just listen to sheez).
So seriously, yeah it’s hard but I have faith. I always will. I love North. It’s been tough but I cannot imagine for 1 second a seasoned coach like clarko is planning to let north keep losing forever.

Magoo seemed to be avoiding the footy....

King Sheezel you're hurting my NMFC brother. I've been harsh in coming at you.
Let's catch up for a beer before a game. We can even invite The acurate one if we're well prepared

Sounds great
Yes it is, but they have to talk we all demand it. The supporters, the media, the AFL.
You surely dont expect them to only talk ships about ourselves?

My fault.
I can understand that, i cant bring myself to do that. I watch all of it, every single match to the end without exception.
Me too. Just watched the first quarter and most of the second. We were electric. Three chances to break their back and we missed them. s**t to lose again but there is real hope now. It’ll come. I said in the preview we wouldn’t win this week but that’s ok - we are playing a style that will get us some wins this year. And then we build from there. Chins up all.
Bring the same attacking flare.
Never allow a run on. You watch good sides, they go manic mode if 2 or 3 goals are scored against them in a row.
We probably need to mix in a little tempo footy as well so we dont blow ourselves up.
We could always go back to recruiting journeymen to get 6 to 8 wins, but that'll be another decade or two of nothing.
That is WAY more painful for me to watch.
Roughly my sentiments too. It's self indulgent and pointless to start a thread about this, but when you experience pain, it's nice to have others there with you who know about it.
I'm thinking of suspending my account and maybe you should too mate. It's worse to be constantly exposed to the optimism, the hype about so and so's pre season, the news that the team's looking fitter, the news that old mate who half the board wrote off actually could play football all along, only for it all to amount to jack s**t when the real stuff starts.
Consider it, at least. The tunnel in which we still remain far away from the proverbial light, even after four long years and the most spectacular run of mismanagement and misfortune in recent footy history, will be easier to navigate if you cut yourself off from most things North

How is my thread that way?
Because it doesn't achieve anything practical. (Nothing on this site achieves anything practical tbf, but this is particularly non-practical). It's wallowing in public where you could just wallow in private and save everyone from listening to you.
That said, don't take my comment purely in the context of the opening sentence. I empathise with you. I'm in anguish too, I've thought the same thoughts that you've outlined, and I can see why you've started the thread. I sat in my seat for twenty minutes after the game today just staring into space. Feeling nothing.
We're all here cos we have an emotional attachment to an organisation comprised of people whose job it is to ensure that a ball is transferred around a patch of grass as well as possible. This may be the fifth year in a row in which they do this in a subpar fashion. And it hurts to watch.
Consider stepping away. We're all diehard North people here, but there are many other aspects of life that will bring you joy until you feel up to the possibility of hanging around this forum whilst we lose. There's no reason for threads like this to be popping up if people know how far their tether extends. Mine's almost exhausted and I reckon yours is too. No shame in looking after yourself for a bit

**** m**nl*nd*rs
At this point, I disagree. I'd do almost anything for 6 wins.

Thanks for the psych assessment on me.
I'm ok despite mum with terminal cancer and you're lecture is not appreciated.
I know, most people are the same. Take the short term goodies over the long term gain.
Easy done, trade out the young guys for 27 years olds and you'll to the promised land of 6 wins easy. We should probably get Scotts back for that rebuild tho.
