Autopsy North lose to Carlton.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I flagged this possibility last week and people laughed, given the political reality that’s about to smack the AFL and Tasmanian government in the mouth the risk of North being folded into a ‘Tasmania’ solution is very real and our performance to date is making it easier and easier for the AFL to justify

Seriously mate, we are inevitably getting this kind of predictable sh*t from ignorant, ambulance chasing c*nts on the main board, do we need our own supporters joining in??

Will have to start selling memberships for $4.50 from next year to stay afloat

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Sonya Hood, Jenn Watt and the Board gave the keys to Clarko with a whopping 5 year deal. Build the team and take them up the ladder and make us relevant again as a football club.

Today was the darkest day in the Clarko era. At the end of 2024 I thought it was pretty bad, buts it’s official we have regressed further into the cesspool he is coaching and responsible for.

I feel for Paul Curtis, George Wardlaw and Luke McDonald who absolutely busted a gut today.

DISAPPOINTED!!!

 

[Themanbun]

Our midfield summed up.

Third quarter, few minutes left, centre bounce. LDU struggled for separation all day. Puts his hand up to sweep, then completely abandons the position as soon as the ball goes up. Hewett sees it and burns straight through the middle and front of the stoppage (the exact play a proper sweeper stops) for a goal.

I'm done. I chose not to get a membership this year and I will continue making that choice until we put in effort as a footy side.

 

[Hop_lessly Devoted]

Walked home in the fresh air, chewed it all over, reflected, reasoned, debated, philosophised, etc.

Nah, we’re appalling.

 

[winalotroos]

Logue, Stephens, Tucker have to go.

Pink and Phillips have to play.

Darling And Daniel can go too.

 

[danj]

I’m hearing rumours that most of the 4,300 $9 members who signed up because LDU inked his multi million dollar contract want their money back

 

[Dirty_11]

Left with family at three quarter time. Won't be going again this year. The club is cooked, the umpiring is cooked and the AFL is cooked.

 

[Conundrum]

I have thought for a while that we'll be relegated to the VFL shortly after Tassie comes in.
AFL won't want 19 teams for long.

With our performances these last few years, we'd be the first to be relegated if such a system ever came in. There'd be some state league teams that'd fancy their chances against us

 

[Luke72]

I’d give up but there’s nothing else. I love the club but **** me that is hard to watch. We don’t have the resilience to withstand any sort of pressure and there seems to be no chemistry amongst the players.

 

[domiroo]

Yeah it was the umps. Shit teams lack discipline and infringe, individuals have no one to give it to and try and take them on. We are a disgrace and will be duly punished.

Did you read what I wrote ? I saud they didn’t help . Like last week went int overtime with frees in the last .

 

[Makeshift Park]

I suppose you want a box of chocolates and a long stemmed rose?

No.

I want Manhattan and then I want Berlin.

 

[danj]

Seriously mate, we are inevitably getting this kind of predictable sh*t from ignorant, ambulance chasing c*nts on the main board, do we need our own supporters joining in??

If you were around in 2007 you’d know North need to be eternally vigilant the AFL will fcku us like a chicken first chance they get, we need to be ready to go back to war if required

 

[nelroo]

What the **** were Parker and Darling speaking of us “doing a lot right “ not that far way etc.. I cannot fathom that there is an ounce of truth to that

 

[winalotroos]

Truth

I was thinking about it this morning

I’m coming up 57

I reckon I’ll be watching it in my Nursing Home

I’am 67 I will be watching it in Heven.

 

[Whisper in the Wind]

Permanently relegated - Not a promotion/relegation system.

 

[Gasometer]

What the **** were Parker and Darling speaking of us “doing a lot right “ not that far way etc.. I cannot fathom that there is an ounce of truth to that

Go back and look at the posters who gave the Training Reports all summer.

At least we were Summer Training Premiers

 

[Luke72]

We’d lose VFL at the minute

 

[The5YearPlan]

Genuinely at a loss today. The only positives are George, Lmac and Curtis.

Genuinely don’t understand or see how it gets better. First time in my 32 years I’ve ever truely given up on the club. I just dgaf anymore.

 

[Luke72]

Of all ****en teams to lose to these twats really push my buttons. Horrible train ride home.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Lots on here are actually football knowledgeable (or at least they think they are ) - so please can someone explain what’s wrong with our club?

Please don’t talk president and stuff like that. It’s more a football issue.

I for one think Sonja has been a great leader of the club and tried very hard to bring in the right people to steer the ship.

So what’s going wrong?

Do we actually have a bit of talent or are our players just not very good?

Can clarko actually coach still - I thought so but now I don’t understand.

Are we being taught a game plan that they can’t play?

Please help me understand what’s wrong with our club.

 

[Elite Master]

Clarko was cooked 5 years ago, when handover was announced at Hawks the players revolted and led to events that forced him out.

He has gotten worse at North, unfortunately for you guys, and is stealing a living without even being able to teach players how to defend, let alone follow a workable game plan.

You have some genuine talent and i believe need to move Clarko and get a new coaching team in place, to see some improvement.

Clarko struggled at Hawks from 2017 onwards, it is now 2025.

He is Sheedy mark 2, the game has gone past him. Problem is he is on $1m plus until end 2027...and will never resign. You are stuck with him.

I don't disagree but Clarko got you guys back into the top 4 in 2018. So I don't think the cutoff point for the final years at Hawthorn can be 2017 onward.

 

[Luke72]

Our back line is shit. Undersized and under skilled

 

[Harryboy4]

Sonja the social activist and Clarko can swap places with me, a 63 year old copping it from jubilant Carlton fans in the way home in the train…perhaps the players could join me too and high five and muck around and congratulate each other

 

[DarwinRoo]

No club or bunch of players drinks its own bath water like ours.

And it’s a ****ing indictment on the club that Larkey is in the leadership group, one of the laziest players to ever pull on a North jumper.

Had a chance to kick a simple goal, that would have given us the lead, not much distance, perfect side for a right footer and he tries to be a smartarse and rushes a kick around the corner.
