It's still mind blowing to me watching it. What adult does such a childish motion ... and at that point of the game where there was still the slightest bit of hope. Absolute insanity!

or as Nigel Smart sees it, "just right"
Prediction - I give up, we're idiots. Thank you Nigel Smart, you're Just Right.
**long exhale** I've just about had it. I sent the club an email this morning after being alerted to something on Twitter. In my head, I delivered a speech to the Crows board with Nigel Smart present; it started with a round of applause followed by a diatribe so profane, so disgusting, so...

Player(s) #24 North's "Saviours"
Pictured: One club's trash is another club's false dawn
Statistically, over a multi year period, North are the worst team VFL/AFL team since the 1960s and the worst AFL team of all time.
Alastair "accident of expansion team concessions" Clarkson was brought in by North in the post Brad Scott era (does anyone remember Shaw?) to try and right the ship. Someone, somewhere, decided that bringing in 18 year olds and ruining their career (aka the 'Casting Couch' strategy) wasn't working. North decided, after a 3 win season last year, to try something new... and went and found 3 guys who had played in successful systems, but were no longer really wanted by their respective clubs.
This strategy helped north climb from second last all the way to the dizzying heights of... 3rd last. At this rate, it will only take 45 more superannuated past-it players to get them to the pointy end of the ladder, by which AI will achieve AGI and quickly kill all human life on the planet as an unnescessary waste of resources that are getting in the way its core mission to...
...nevermind. We're talking about Artifical Improvement, Not Artifical Intelligence here.
With Caleb Daniel firing out laser-like 20m kicks in the backline that 60% of the time work every time, Luke Parker sometimes playing decent football and only serving to highlight that 50% of his best is better than what North players provide 50% of the time, and Jack Darling providing some vague enough aerial support to Nick Larkey to earn the nickname "the car bonnet coathanger", north somehow... managed to draw with the Brisbane Lions in round 9 this year?
Fair play to North, that one game was the best result for a North men's team since Boris the chicken was running the social committee. Outside of that game there was a smashing of the Demons at Marvel when the roof was closed and half the Demons players saw a baby crawling across it, and an 'honourable loss' against the Crows that Matthew Nicks described as "perfect finals preparation".
Fun fact: The strategy proved so successful this year that North have completely abandoned it, not trading in any mature talent during this years' trade period.
Caleb (bullgod), Parker and Darling, best of luck next season and welcome to the Bottom 40 for 2025.

Joe Root might actually score a Test century in Australia before the Roos see any success.

Fun fact - when Carey joined the Crows after leaving Norf, the acronym CROWS briefly stood for Carey's Reviewing Our Women Soon.

I looked at that and immediately thought "Carey's rooting our women" and dismissed it as unworthy, because you'd never be crass enough to put that.

A couple more of these multi-player entries and the Lazy Bottom 40 will be a Sneaky Bottom 50. Good play by Mof, Lower expectations, deliver more.

Player #23 - Nick Coffield
Pictured: A lifelong Bulldog fan who even shaved off his sideburns at the request of Mr Beveridge
Nick Coffiled was an extremely highly rated junior whose AFL career was doomed from the start, as he was taken in the first round by St Kilda. One pick before Aarin Naughton. Just like Paddy McCarton (one pick ahead of Christian Petracca) and Jack Billings (one pick ahead of Marcus Bontempelli). St Kilda now get around this little problem by trading out their first round picks, then complaining they don't have access to first round picks.
Anyway, back to Coffield. The guy just couldn't get any continuity with his body as injuries seemed to plague him. After an injury plaged 6 year stint at the Saints that netted him 52 games, 2 goals and (surprise) no flags, he landed at the club he grew up supporting (Bulldogs).
Sadly, his body issues have stayed with him. After an injury interrupted 8 games last year, this year he managed 4 games where, as a 'tweener', he just stood out for the wrong reasons. Making great positiion when given time, he was too short to play as a 'slow KPD' and and too slow to play as a '3rd tall interceptor/distributer'. Sadly, when Coff would try and run to keep up with an opponent he did so with all the grace of Kyle Sandilands at a skate ring desperately grabbing the outside rail so he doesn't fall over. As an aside, I now take a hammer to every skate ring I go to just in case I see Kyle Sandilands.
Anyway at the end of the year the Bulldogs gave him a 1 year extension under the "Tom Campbell" rule - he may not play but he's a good guy who plays VFL in a position of deperate need. In this case Nick is part of a KPD line up at the Bulldogs that is so raw that I can almost hear Gordan Ramsey screaming "it's still $%^&king mooing!" which is great because it drowns out the other voices in my head telling me to burn things.
Fun fact: Coffield debuted in Shanghai against Port Adelaide - a feat unlikley to be beaten.
He also managed to win a VFL flag with Footscray this year.
Nick, Coff, good luck next season. Welcoem to the Bottom 40 for 2025.

The old classic Mofra ploy of putting in a Bulldogs player that legitimately no one else (including St Kilda fans) actually knew existed to avoid allegations of bias.
Well played, Mof, well played.

I literally didn't know he existed. Sounds like one of those random generated AFL Evolution players
