We were never meant to benefit from it though ferball. We shpuld man up and announce a forfeiture of our first pick to put mclure at ease.

 

[RHLK]

AFL to punish North's tanking by giving Sydney our Father/Son picks

 

[Aberration]

Since the media do not bother to do their research, might as well do it for them.

Injury List

Robbie Tarrant (back) test
Jack Ziebell (managed) – test
Lachlan Hansen (hamstring) test
Braydon Preuss (back) – test
Mason Wood (calf) – test
Kayne Turner (knee) – 1-2 weeks
Corey Wagner (ankle) – 2-3 weeks
Oscar Junker (tibia) – 2-3 weeks
Marley Williams (back) – TBC
Sam Wright (foot/ankle) - TBC
Jamie Macmillan (finger) – season
Ben Jacobs (lower leg) – season

Available Players in VFL

Lindsay Thomas
Jed Anderson
Ben McKay – 3rd game back from injury
Will Fordham – Rookie list
Todd Goldstein
Matt Taylor – Rookie list
Declan Watson – 1st game back from injury


22 played AFL on Saturday + 7 played VFL on Sunday + 15 injured players = 44 players (NMFC list)

We basically have a team full of injured players FFS. Every fit player we have either played VFL or AFL games this weekend.

4 of the players who played in the VFL are either returning from injury or are on the rookie list. The 3 senior players we had in the VFL are all out of form.

Don’t see how we are “managing” the team at all, we have simply run out of players to pick.

 

[RHLK]

The rest of our Father/Son picks....

Me, I over reacted

Someone had to do it. That guy is a flog of biggest order. I did find it very entertaining when Bill Lawry and Daisy Pearce jumped to his defense.

Chin up. Don't worry about it.

When did Bill Lawry and DP jump in?

When did Bill Lawry and DP jump in?

Don't know how to link it. I simply googled it and he posted 'what's it come to that people are questioning your family' or some shit like that which is when others replied and said stuff like you are doing a good job, don't feed the troll etc.

Fake Bill Lawry. And Daisy Pearce inadvertently makes your point. Mentions three players who all got to their clubs on the father-son rule. Just as young Sam did.

THis has left me a bit flat tbh. I wish i never did it.

You did the right thing.

It's a bit of a trap but what you said/did wasn't a big deal, so try to let it go. People are always deleting and/or regretting social media posts and the world just moves on quickly.

And from here maybe keep some of your observations for BF, where you will get furious agreement about that sperm.

Good advice, thank you.

Don't stress it mate, he's not a journos arseh*le. Classic thin skinned media type, twitsed what you said to an attack at his family. Got called out at being lazy at his job (again), then defensive when called out.

Much enjoying this year as I decided not to bother too much with the talking heads and have just been watching games and GR social medias. Highly recommend it.

LOL. This has really gots to you. Don't Sweat It. The guy is a flog. Soon enough his behavior will once again make you realise the guy is a Turkey who deserves having shit flung back his way. :stern look

It has a bit, but I guess you're right.

So, it's okay for smirk flog to cast 'dispersions' without substance, but heaven forbid they come back at him?!
The problem with this approach for us, and now hopefully for him, is that if you throw mud some of it sticks.

I have no problem with the underlying premise: "This guy is so bad at journalism, one wonders how he got a job doing it? Perhaps family connections tipped the scales in his favour over countless others that couldn't possibly be worse at it than him?"

I'll be curious to see what the commentary is when Carlton win the spoon from losing their last 5 tough games against top 10 sides.
I can't see us finishing bottom and Kingy's already put the finishing last/psd kelly thing on the radar so we'd get done for tanking by afl if that happens.

Nah don't be like that mate. You are a North man who loves the club and hates seeing media flogs constantly putting it down. Why wasn't Carlton mentioned in the same sentence as tanking? That idiot McClure just needed to take a list of our injured players and he'd see we aren't tanking. Resting players? Ziebell who is clearly injured. Goldy was dropped on poor form and deservedly so.

 

[darko]

Also McClure reacted the way he did because you hit the nerve and he knows there is an element of truth to it. Look the guy worked hard to get to where he is but a person would need to be naive to think he didn't have any help on the way. Way more help than your Average Joe.

 

[Alpine17]

I probably went too far, but seriously I was sick and tired of the same lazy journalism

It's not lazy just deliberate to keep tarnishing the club so we will never gain a larger supporter base therefore leaving us vulnerable to relocation. These f&ckwits seem to go out of their way to kick us but make sure the love in clubs are hyped up to the max, or excused for bad behaviour.

It's not even just the big clubs. It's everyone. Collingwood not getting called out for poor crowd I'm not surprised because they are a big club. What about St Kilda? Why are they getting a free pass?

 

[Kimbo]

The dismissiveness, disrespect or hatred for North is quite inexplicable to me really. (I get it, but I don't, at the same time.)

 

[Snake_Baker]

It's quite funny when you think of it. Hutchinson writes a story that is essentially: I believe Brad Scott is going to leave North Melbourne. ---> insert commercial here <--- His follow up story is: Why would Josh Kelly want to go to North Melbourne in light of all this speculation about Brad Scott leaving?

It's actually brilliant - a self perpetuating marketing industry.

You just missed something mate.

 

[big_e]

For future reference, just begin every sentence with "It's understood that..." or "We have reason to believe that..."
