Let's not lose sight of the fact that more discussion about North anywhere is a good thing, even if it does provoke disagreement.

If I had to choose, I'd rather read articles like this which have been prompted by surprising form, because the alternative is being ignored while we're 2-7 after nine rounds.

Although maybe I've been desensitised to criticism by having to read thousands of social media comments after losses for multiple years, I don't know.

(And for the record, the last sentence of the article completely invalidates everything which came before it)

I'm thinner skinned than a wheat cracker so things like this trigger my sensibilities. Like a little bitch.

I could write a book-length post on the awful things I've seen posted, all done in the effort to incite a response. Flight MH370 was a favourite of a few particular people who thought they were very funny. Makes you realise very quickly you have to have thick skin!

Switched on the Footy Show for th first time this year to watch Brad. Can't think of anything or anyone that would make me watch it again. I wouldn't have believed it could get worse but it is woeful. Zero entertainment value.

Agree. Done and dusted. Brad’s actually too good for that show!

Did you see that press conference skit? I was cringing bigtime.

yes his initial point is that we shld have done a Full Reboot which I think meant trading Goldy and Cunners? who had currency

But we didn't so, like virtually everybody, he thinks we lack real talent and are stuck in a no mans land strategy where we don't get the higher draft picks but cant attract top end talent
So Far So good At least he makes logical sense

The main problem is its hard to see how this bottoming out strategy had anything to do with either the Dogs or Tiggers winning a Flag
Tiggers won by being a very good team under pressure, who managed to work out a way of getting games played on their terms, using the skills the players had
Plus they rode the Its Time wave And played an Interstate team
Same for the Dogs, fabulous record of winning close games who managed to work out a way of getting games played on their terms, using the skills the players had ie throwing
Plus they rode the Its Time wave And played an Interstate team

Noone in their right mind wld say either of these teams were Dominant over the year like the Catters and hawkers
Hawks beat 3 interstate teams in arrow, just sayin

North are actually following the Tiggers model which is play your way, with what you have got, Don't ever get injured and hopefully a relatively soft draw doesn't hurt either
we are quicker tougher play 100% for 4 Qtrs
Whats not to like!



They are getting worked out now

First time I had watched any of the Footy show since when Boomer was on it when he finished that year. Seems like the show has gone down even further tbh.
Granted I've only watched bits and pieces here and there but they just seem to be trying way too hard to be funny it's cringe worthy. Maybe they should just stick to discussing footy instead doing shitty gags and things just may pick up.

I thought this was a gif, and sat and watched it for longer than I'd care to admit to see how long it would keep counting.
I watched for almost two minutes & then I was like, it’s two in the morning, what am I doing with my life...
