Ummmm - actually it ended in tears.
Not before he got the pipedream facility built.

They sacked him effectively. I would have Euge back in a heartbeat but it didn't end well.Not before he got the pipedream facility built.
Sick of the Tassie talk! Let's get out ASAP!
Was referring to the change in teams. Of course, I wish he was still working with us.Ummmm - actually it ended in tears.
If we're going that route, why not just play them at Arden Street? It's already an approved venue by the AFL for AFLW and VFL games.I’d happily play Gold Coast and the Giants at Port Melbourne.
BARRETT: Can these new leaders stop a shaky North from heading south?
The arrival of three new faces in key posts coincides with the Kangaroos being in a vulnerable place - again. Damian Barrett delves deep into the club's latest turmoilwww.afl.com.au
Barrett typically going with his glass half-empty approach when it comes to the club. He could have said everything that was said in that article and put a positive spin on it but chose to be negative. Like a lot of so-called North supporters, they stick the boot into the club because they had delusions about what the club should have done in the past, they bare the stench of death and their unwarranted negativity almost reeks like they want the club to fail so that they aren't proven to be wrong or s**t supporters of the club.
I can't think of a successful club that would have held onto the staff we have let go had they achieved the same results. Lets be realistic, if it was Hawthorn making the changes Barrett would have called it brave and aggressive, he uses a different vocabulary with us because he has no pride in the club as an insipid supporter of the club. He should take his frustration out on people who achieved mediocre results at their time instead of people who believe they can do better and see a bright future and opportunity.

I actually reckon we should play games at Arden St and not worry about fencing it off and charging for tickets, just promote some goodwill in the local community and hopefully attract new local supporters.If we're going that route, why not just play them at Arden Street? It's already an approved venue by the AFL for AFLW and VFL games.
I'm serious. Especially for GC, who have bugger all supporters in Melb.

The obvious reason is that there simply isn’t enough spectator space, even for a GC/GWS type crowd. The playing surface was enlarged so they could train on a docklands-sized oval which pushed the outer wing right out to Macaulay Rd. If you were to try and develop spectator seating, you couldn’t build a new stand on the outer wing without expensive work on that road.If we're going that route, why not just play them at Arden Street?

Arden st was brilliant for 5k people to stand around in the sunshine for a preseason game but would you really want to play an AFL game with no seating, a single beer van and porta-loos? Potentially in bad weather?
You don't ask the Accurate One to break confidences.
I've thought for a while now, that I reckon Eddie is a closet North fan. Usually speaks positively about us (and not in a patronizing way), and I rarely recall him bagging us.
I agree. Quotas are amongst the most racist/sexist practices for an institution to enact. People should be hired based on their ability to perform the job, not because an institution wants to score brownie points. Quotas are the soft bigotry of low expectations. Quotas do nothing but potentially hurt an organisation, if they pass up on more qualified individuals, for the sake of race/gender. Hopefully the club chose Ben for the right reasons.Day 1: Dismantle the gender quota stupidity:

what you should notice is the link has nothing to do with north, because I'm pretty sure every god damned time this comes up, the last point that is made is that we don't have quotas.I agree.

My point in regards to North, was that the appointment of Ben Amarfio could be perceived by some supporters as having an ulterior motive, amongst other appointments that have been scrutinised for similar reasons. I’m just hoping that in regards to the club, there is no ulterior motive in the hiring process. Fortunately, in regards to Ben, it appears that he has experience in the sporting industry, working amongst the top dogs at AFL House and Cricket Australia. So any suspicions I may or may not have are essentially nonexistent.what you should notice is the link has nothing to do with north, because I'm pretty sure every god damned time this comes up, the last point that is made is that we don't have quotas.
The gender equality action plan does not have anything to do with quota or diversity hiringI agree. Quotas are amongst the most racist/sexist practices for an institution to enact.
