Play Nice Bye bye Brad

[Phillyroo]

Are we any closer to a flag after six years of development?

No.

Do you really believe that??
I absolutely think we are closer to a flag than we were 6 years ago. We played in a prelim last year, and I'm confident that we can do some damage in September this year. We have become somewhat a destination club, which 6 years ago would have been laughed at.

I really believe that.

The results speak for themselves.

I WANT us to be a flag contender.

Our complete lack of killer instinct against inferior sides is what's stopping us.

If only everyone had Goldy's attitude.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

We are still a rubbish football team.

Better than Richmond, of course, but still shit.

You mean like kicking 7 goals to 3 in the last quarter on Sunday?

If only we had 8 Nat Fyfe's we would be better??

Mate I want us to be a contender too, actually stuff that, I want to dominate this ****ing league!!! No one has told me the name of the coach that they think would do a better job than the guy that is doing it now!!! If Brad got the arse he would be unemployed for about 1min!

Or maybe we should pull a Carlton, and bring in a mick Malthouse to take us over the top.... Because that always works.

Once Jmac gets back all sorts of ills will be cured.

Yea I did, and what is your point. As Wild Bill said in an earlier post in this, the worst thread on this board, you continually post only negatives. In fact I would be utterly shocked if you actually found any pleasure in a North Melbourne victory ever. Were you at the MCG in September last year? Did it make you sad to see Brad lead us to two wonderful victories??

I obviously take great pleasure in our wins, because unlike you I get great disappointment from our loses. Excuse me for wanting the team to be the best, and to fulfill their potential. Your attitude is what's wrong with this country, happy to blod along being 'ok'!

I live in SA so seeing the team live is a rare treat, and something I don't take for granted. My daughter hasn't seen the team win live for 5 years, how do think she feels when we have to trudge through the throngs of fruit loops after another thumping? Do you think the old Wild Bill line of, it doesn't matter it's only round one cheer her up? You have no idea how much emmotional investment I have in the club.

I think the coach has under achieved for 5 fricking years and beating up shit stained clubs like Melbourne isn't going to change that. Until we can show we are a contender for the premiership Brad is a fraud. He has about 10-15 games to prove me wrong or he is out the door. You on the other hand can go off over an average display against a less than average team.

that is such a pathetic argument.

It's funny, as an avid reader of your posting.... I wouldn't have thought that you even liked North Melbourne.

Don't mistake my optimism and belief for a lack of passion. Unlike you I go to the footy every week, I travel to watch my team, I take time out of work to get to the club and watch them train, I live and breath this club!
It will be all the sweeter for those of us that believe in this era, this coach, this group when we win it... Although I guess you can console yourself with the great line of "Scott must have changed, I was right all along, he should be thanking me for rubbishing him and wanting him sacked..... I was right all along" rocking back and forth....

 

[Phillyroo]

that is such a pathetic argument.

Excellent retort, when you explain your point of view so succinctly how could anyone argue with you??

You want a shit fight, I'm better than you game do you? Travel to a game... I flew from Perth to Melbourne and back in a day, just to watch a game. I flew from Perth to Singapore to Melbourne to watch a final. I've driven from Adelaide and back in 24 hours to watch a game. You've got it ****ing easy!

You don't have optimism, you're happy where we are at. Your happiness is fulfilled. Belief? Did you believe we could finish top 4 this year? Did you believe we could threaten for the flag? Obviously not, because the only belief you have is that this year has been a success.

There's no need for the personal barbs. Post edited. You can make your point without including them.

We're all on the same side here, with the same wishes and hopes.

Chill pill.......

Have look at who the past premiership coaches have replaced, and where they have come from.

Interesting, what constituted a personal barb?

You've been here long enough to know that calling another poster a "banker" etc is only fuelling a fight. If it was said to you repeatedly you'd go troppo.

Troppoer.

Good point.

Well put, excellent argument. I've read it 5 times and it still doesn't make sense.

His posting history is putrid. Disappeared when we were winning finals.

Fair weather fake supporter.

.....EDIT: comment removed..

Why would you say that about someone?? *shakes head*

Whats wrong with Bankers???

I'm confident that we can do some damage in September this year.

As am I which make the loses to shit sides worse.

We beat 1 side we 100% could have (Port)

2 sides we should have (who losing too was a disgrace, Gold Coast & Colingwood)

You add 3 wins to our tally (all games we could have won) and we sit in second place.

2nd


You know what second gets you?

A home final.

We get second and do damage in September you know what that gets you?

Number 5.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Whats wrong with Bankers???

The GFC's (plural)...............financial crisis and tossing moula at G-Town. Pricks!

 

[Phillyroo]

I was just trying to comprehend the hate that he has for this club. Something horrible must have happened.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

We were pathetic at the start of this season, and that block of games has resisted us from doing anything threatening this season.

Most of those games were lost due to the same thing that has plagued the scott era, with inconsistent efforts mixed with mental lapses. And people want a 3 year contract extension when there are still signs of this crap 6 years on???

Absolute delusional. Brad is the Shane Watson of coaching.

 

[Phillyroo]

All this hate, all this angst... And yet not a single name of a replacement... Whinge, and cry all you want, but the very best candidate for the position is already in place!

Are you saying that he'd be irreplaceable?

Rubbish.

If we sacked him and went to market the job would be the most contested role in footy.
