Opinion 2019 Non Crows - Watts love got to do with it? #pick1herewecome

[MRB37]

Costs me ten bucks more to stand on the hill at port games than crows games. 35 concession for ga, where as only 25 for us.

Thier ga is rarely over 2 thirds full, ours rarely under.

Yep this is it, our General Admission is basically just the hill and a few rows at the back of the Northern Stand right?

Port's GA is likely still this whole purple section.

All of their Gold member equivalent members with Grand Final access sit in Platinum, which means we'd have members paying hundreds of dollars for Gold tickets in seats they sell as $25 GA seats.

We also average an extra full house of attendances every year, and in the year they are talking about, 2017, we were obviously in pretty good form, and had a couple of home finals.

Port leave sections open like that so they don't have to pay a seat levy back to the AFL which costs us $400K-$500K a year.

I think they’re talking quality of the performance.

It’s probably the lowest standard of AFL footy I’ve seen and we couldn’t get it done.

Good thing you are not a drama queen!

How long you been watching AFL?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You couldn't make this shit up. A player gets booed (like many players have in the past) but, because it's golden boy Gaz, we can't have that! Poor Gaz probably cried himself to sleep last night because of all of those vicious boos. Give me a ******* spell.

Should recommend that Gazza Jnj stay off social media if he can't handle it...

Isn't that the standard response to the rest of the comp?

What makes gazza different

 

[mistylake]

We lost to a team that wasn't even trying to win.

Ha ha if true.
Has that ever happened before.
Seems like our worst ever performance.

 

[MarcusP2]

I can't think of a worse one. Maybe our match against Melbourne around 2012-ish or whenever it was when they were terrible and we were somehow even worse?

Easily in contention for our lowest ebb.

2011 96-point loss where Moloney broke the clearance record?

Yes, that's the one. If memory serves, they also broke the record for the biggest number of ruckman/midfielder hitout/clearances (ie clearances involving the same ruck and same midfielder) which had previously been set only a week prior... also against us.

That was when we were playing Reilly as a tagger. Van Berlo was also a starting midfielder at that point, with Craig preferring to play Danger at FF (and Tex/Gunston in the SANFL).

We made only one change after losing to the wooden spooners by 96 points... dropping Walker.

So, North Melbourne called a crisis meeting on the weekend. Chairman, CEO, Coaches and Leadership Group.

Emergency. Panic stations. Things are looking so unbelievably bad that they realised they have to do something. NOW.

Was last week the worst performance in our history given who we were facing?

It's up there, but I can't go past that grand final for worst performance in our history seeing what was at stake, how we were comfortably the best team in 2017, and how insipid we were for three quarters to lose it in a wihmper.

As Hodgey once said:

"Gotta look after ****ing Gazza"

Luke Hodge?

 

[Glenno23]

Luke Hodge?

Yep. About 22 seconds in

 

[Cap]

Yep. About 22 seconds in

I find that quite amusing really. His Hawthorn team was one of the most protected i can remember.

I guess he's paid to comment.

So when did “Anzac Eve” become a thing?

 

[1970crow]

Also his mum apparently had an affair with a pizza delivery driver back in the day which is why his parents split up.

So his mum is one of those adulterers that's supposedly going to hell.

Unless she has repented.

[Moonwatcher]

Need Melbourne to jump Carlton whilst also keeping Richmond within reach (not that we'll win as many games as Richmond).

 

[1970crow]

I've had a tiny think about this and my original post was far too flippant, especially since the deal was supposedly sanctioned and signed off by the AFL.

So here's what I meant to say.


**** you AFL.

**** right off you cheating scumbag shitshow.

GAGF.

I hope a meteor smashes into AFL house. (when there's nobody there of course).

Would need some more info. He might be doing 15 hours per week and earning $15k doing something that he’s studying on the side. I can’t imagine the AFL would allow a multiple hundred thousand dollar per year ambassador role again.

This is entirely possible, but this guy wouldn’t get out of bed for only an extra $15k. It smells like this has Visy mk2 written all over it.

Maybe, but there’s lots of reports these days about players studying or doing organised programs in their time off. I dislike the AFL as a rule, they get so much wrong, but the clubs would be up in arms if anything like Visy was to be going on.

 

[TRP1996]

Prior to absent-mindedly skimming this thread I had completely forgotten there was a game on tonight.

 

[AmericanCrow]

One should never suffer seeing black and yellow team first thing in the morning

 

[Vhaluus]

Sydney Stack is one hell of a rookie pickup

 

[Hendersloane]

Well that was a great 30 seconds of football...
