Back to his see ball get ball best, with a sprinkling of anger and no fear. Me likey!

I heard his interview with 3AW post game while wandering out of Jihad and he sounded even angrier than JMac flying the flag when they asked him about selections this week. "Dropping four players, is that a statement of sorts? Do the leaders have any say or is it all up to match committee?" he was asked. "Oh we (the leadership group) discussed selection a lot this week, particularly one of the players who was omitted. Not naming any names though." he replied.

"So, Lindsay Thomas?" "Not naming any names but we wanted players who we were certain would give us everything they had. Players you can rely on." said Spitta.

Ouch!

It's actually the first time I think I've heard him speaking with genuine authority and I liked it.
How do you know he is not referring to Maj?

I said the same to Missus Toes as I was listening to it. It sounded a lot like they'd had many chats with him since the greater focus on his techniques and still being involved when things aren't going your way and last week was a last straw. Without being within the vas deferens of the inner scrotal leadership chatter I guess we're left to draw our own conclusions.
The vas deferens is one of my faves. Can't beat the epididymis though....in any case, I'm sure Andrew's is quality.

Really impressed with his game last night, and the steely resolve in his demeanour on the footy show this morning
Can we get an excerpt of this somewhere? I have been checking the Media thread, but there hasn't been much of late. No problem with that as I understand these things take time and we have busy lives, just keen to see all things North.

It's on the 'footy show jump in' on the 9 website.
Haven't seen the swallow part viewable by itself, but it's like 2nd segment in after the first break :)

They pressed him further and it became obvious it was LT, with the commentary team asking the questions giving him a verbal nod nod wink wink say no more ending. He actually said it was a bit tough on Maj but Brown had to return and that was that.

You know you've finally achieved whipping boy status when both coaches vote you clearly BOG but your form is scrutinised in the changes thread and multiple posters agree that you had a "shocker."
Too bloody right. It is ******* disgraceful some of the comments about our CAPTAIN over the last couple of months.

And when he has multiple posters ridiculously claiming he should be traded.
