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...

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.

Newcastle, Colorado Rockies.
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.

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.
