I love the North fans reaction to Ben Brown flopping for a soft free kick.
They don't like it now that he's in oppo colours.

BTW, I'm paraphrasing here:
  • Only way he's getting a kick...
  • Ya gotta laugh. He never got one of those frees with us.....
  • Cheap free...
  • Soft....
  • That's a bullshiit free...
  • OMG! So bloody soft...
  • Horrible decision by the ump...
All posted with zero sense of irony or self-awareness.

At least now they know how all of us felt from 2016-2019

I’ve seen more posts like this than actual complaints from North fans.

What? He’s been fantastic down back, bad mistake, but I’m assuming you haven’t seen any North games this year with a comment like that.
He's a bit of a liability in my view. In this game he's made a couple of bad errors that have cost Norths. You can't knock his effort but he is a bit slow and just seems to be unaware of what's around him. A couple of years ago he was dangerous as a forward but I'd be nervous with him in my deep backline if it was my team. Never been a big fan even though he seems to be popular player.

Just saw the Fritsch "fend off". Surely he cops at least a fine for that if we're "protecting the head".

He should cop a week. Accidental head contact gets a week or more in other instances, a fend off shouldn’t be any different.
 
They were senior players and would've been more competitive from Round 1, even if it took the club nowhere. North is the youngest team in the comp for the first time in 30 years. It was entirely predictable that they'd struggle. And most other clubs have injuries to important players.

I wish North well but you're not getting my pity. Good luck in the second half.

Yeah Mason Wood would have stood up in that third there. We missed him so much.
 
Maybe he gets more than Taylor's five touches and hits the scoreboard, maybe he doesn't.

Just cop it sweet you're wrong here.

Maybe having Robbie Tarrant and Luke McDonald and Aidan Corr out there would have helped us stop the run on better.

Learnt 2 things from this game so far. Melbourne aren't that great and Gerard Healy is in the top 3 worst commentators. Just drones on and on about Melbourne, even the other commentators don't sound interested.

Only undefeated team left in the comp.

Sounds a bit like Sour Grapes from you
