No doubt it is something that would make them look like bigger losers as they kept quiet about it

It’s as simple as they had the numbers. One on one, they’re church mice, get a few numbers and they think they’re tough.

At least they named one of the campaigners in the news. Doubt he’ll go anywhere by himself for a long, long time if he’s smart enough.

He isn’t even brave enough to fight. Weak as piss. His mates start, then he comes in from behind his mates, lays in punches, then retreats before he might have to defend himself. Dead set coward.

Yep.

Gutless.

He’s a media guy, worked at triple m, channel 9 for the footy show as a producer..or something, horse race caller, etc.

Now he’s free from the mainstream media and he is a podcaster he has more freedom to express his views on issues. Sometimes I agree with him and other times I strongly disagree.

I like to follow people on Twitter that challenge my ideologies because I don’t want to get stuck in an echo chamber.

It really seems like no campaigner thinks for themselves any more. That comment is just a bunch of similar echo chamber cliches masquerading as an opinion. You could program a bot to say the same thing and really no one would know the difference.

"The Age and the ABC are too woke for me ohhh baby." Its not so much an opinion as a code phrase to target an audience. Every campaigner says that. (I don't really read the age or follow the ABC so I don't have an opinion on what they say tho.)

"White Anglo" for example. I thought those campaigners that hit Jack were white. Mediterranean maybe but whatever. Calling someone "White Anglo" is pretty stupid. Like did you see that tall giant walking down the road or the shortarse dwarf in the coffee shop?

Not every white person is an Anglo either. My mum is white and she's half Irish half Roma. If he'd said "White Pom" no one would be jumping up down in furious agreement even tho that's exactly what "White Anglo" means. They'd all be making jokes about spazball.

2018 version of him.
2014 version of him.

My favourite Jack was the 2012 version.

He was a big part of the problem the last few years though.

Sure could *in use him right about now, tough as they come and was actually a leader unlike the pathetic excuses we have as captains now. The last true shinboner to play for the club.
 
Jack, Ben X2, Todd all leaving at the same time was too much.

Jack & Ben are only 33 & 32 this year.

Am I alone in thinking they’d all thrive under Clarko?
They all left. Ben probably understandably. But still..

Ziebell was pretty banged too. I think we underestimate how much punishment his body took. Most AFL players really, I know Nick Dal Santo just had a hip replacement and he wasn’t exactly the most physical player.
 
Ziebell was physically shot. Besides, idk why people are so eager to give players like him and Goldstein a free pass. The rot really set in while they were senior players and that shouldn't be ignored.
 
Loved watching Ziebell play from his very first NAB cup game where he shot out of the gate.

I agree with those above though, the last couple years of his captaincy he was phoning it in.

He tried his guts out every game, but he was far too content with the way things were going for a captain. We put him in an impossible situation, too far gone to be part of the next premiership, captained through 4 coaches in a few years with very little success. He was far too burnt from those experiences to be driving the club forward. How can you sell a message to the youth when you don't believe it yourself?

When you get into your 30's you start to realise life away from 'work' is the priority, it's no longer such a big part of your identity. It was cemented in my mind when we started hearing how the young brigade were driving standards, and how strong Clarko was on his message to the kids.

In saying that, I think Ziebs would have an incredible story to tell about his years at the club.
 



Former North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell’s return to local footy has sensationally ended in the AFL great being sent from the ground after he appeared to headbutt an opponent after giving away a high free kick just seconds earlier.
Playing for Avondale Heights in the Essendon District Football League in an Anzac Day game against Premier Division rivals Aberfeldie, Ziebell was shown a yellow card by a field umpire at the eight minute mark.

Footage of the incident shows Ziebell collecting Abers gun Daniel Thompson high after he had taken an intercept mark in front of the 33-year-old.

Aberfeldie defender Luke Davis immediately remonstrated with Ziebell before the ex-Kangaroo walked over to Thompson to check on his condition as he lay on the ground before being attended to by a trainer.

As he approached Thompson, Davis again pushed Ziebell away before more push and shove ensued with Joey Dimasi.

The incident which caught the eye of the umpire.

Ziebell appeared to thrust his head into Dimiasi’s face, prompting a reaction from several Aberfeldie players, with the umpire immediately sending Ziebell from the ground

The yellow card meant 15 minutes off the ground for Ziebell before he returned for the dying stages.

Aberfeldie co-coach Clay Illman did not want to comment on the incident, instead focusing on the brilliant effort from his defenders to keep Ziebell goalless.

Davis spent most of the day opposed to Ziebell and was given great support by Thompson, who is understood to have suffered a broken nose, and Brodie Newman.

“It was a team effort against Jack, he’s still obviously a high quality player being straight out of the AFL,” Illman said.

“You wouldn’t say Luke is underrated, he’s just expected to do the job. Thompson and Newman spent a bit of time on him as well.

“We couldn’t be happier with how they went about a tough match up.”

Aberfeldie eventually held on to win by three points, 15.7 (97) to 13.16 (94), as Avondale Heights kicked the last goal of the game at the 34-minute mark.

“We were fortunate to be in front when the siren went. It was a fantastic game of footy,” Illman said.

The win was Aberfeldie’s third straight to start the season under Illman and Ben Ronke, with the pair taking over from Adam Marcon in pre-season.

Ronke was a strong presence across the ground with four goals while Karl Brown continued his good form with three.


“From a coaching point of view, I’m rapt with how Ben is playing,” Illman said.

“We all know what he can do as a forward but he’s having a real impact in the middle of the ground. Our connection is starting to get much better now after the start to the season.

“Anthony Horomidis and Sam Medland have had really impressive starts as well.”

It was also a special day for Darby Scott and Jordan Lombardo who made their senior debuts.

“I thought they played really well,” Illman said.

“It’s always important to us to give these young guys opportunities.”

Aberfeldie will next take on Pascoe Vale while Avondale Heights travel to take on East Keilor.
