I'll give credit to SEN where it's due.

At least they tell you they are making s**t up.

 

[Gasometer]

I need some help so thought I would ask here. I have an XL spreadsheet with about 100 postcodes that I need to convert into a Vic map showing the locations to add to a report. Can anyone help me out? Is there an easy way to do this?

I think he can be babbling clown, but also think he’s actually a footy fan....he liked our brutality etc last year. We have completely lost all of that. The past few weeks, apart from the Bears game, have been pretty diabolical.

Back in February, North Melbourne’s aim for 2020 could not have been made any clearer by coach Rhyce Shaw.

With last year’s success as a caretaker coach, there were positive signs for the Roos heading into a year of uncertainty.

“I want to make one thing very clear. We are here to win. Our goal is to exceed the expectations we’ve set and the right to be called a top team, an elite team. We’re not there yet but we are coming,” Shaw declared at the club’s season launch.

But things can change very quickly – just ask the AFL world – with the Roos in contention for the wooden spoon sitting 17th with one weekend of action remaining.

In what can only be described as a failed year, North has won just three games, with Melbourne legend Garry Lyon unclear over what has gone wrong since the club defeated 2020 premiership contenders Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda and Port Adelaide less than 12 months ago.

“The drop off is pretty staggering, it’s as bad as it has been in recent times,” he said on Fox Footy’s On The Couch.
“That sense of optimism was off the back of last year when he took over and they beat Richmond, Collingwood and St Kilda. They beat the team who is a game clear on top of the ladder, Port Adelaide, by 86-points. What happened? Now what we hear from Rhyce is these players are not AFL standard.

“That team that beat Richmond, there were 21 of the 22 players still at the club (on the weekend), 14 played. The only one not there is Scott Thompson. 14 of that group are still out there and we saw a performance on the weekend that was lamentable, to the point of all of the normal North Melbourne conversations are had.

“The conversation is – why are we here? Rhyce, he has to own this. This is a coaching who comes in with a young coaching group around him, preaches defence first. They laid 13 tackles in a half of footy on the weekend. This is as a bad as those sides, how Adelaide were going at the start of the year, if not worse now. There’s no intent.”

Nick Riewoldt declared some of the work in the club’s loss to Fremantle as “training drill stuff”, with Lyon quipping their actions were “worse than that”.
“The narrative is sometimes we don’t talk about North because it’s a bit of a ‘oh well we’re in rebuild’, but they won the first two games and they weren’t thinking rebuild,” Lyon said.

“The stuff they’ve chucked up this last seven or eight weeks is as bad as any football team.

“There’s no system, no identifiable system about the way they play. When Rhyce took over it was smash, crash in and let’s go conservative around the line and start again.

“There’s none (now). He may have won the job on the back of this (in 2019). Where is it? And what has gone wrong? And why is it not there? You don’t have to win games, where’s this stuff?”
“The narrative is we are no good now and we are in a rebuild. The players were doing this stuff last year.”

Seven months ago, Rhyce Shaw declared ‘we’re here to win’ – now North is ‘worse than a training drill’

Robbo messages me after most north games and we have a nice chat, i don't get the impression he dislikes the team at all even if i disagree with a lot of his opinions

 

[Snake_Baker]

He's always bitching about something, so sooner or later it was going to be our turn.

Despite popular opinion, I actually did see him happy once.

Found this this afternoon, it was done by Roy Morgan. How the **** do Sydney have a 30% gap on the next club? Anyway I don’t trust the method based on that figure.

We’d be first if they took BF activity in to account when they tallied up the numbers.

P.S. Not sure if this is the right thread so by all means delete.

Hopefully this puts paid to all those “Shoulda gone to the Gold Coast arguments”.....we’d be worse off. 190 odd thousand of us be dead for a start.

It's television ratings garbage.

I suspect the same poll would list me as a Melbourne Storm fan. Doesn't mean I do anything about it (i.e. buy a membership, go to games, watch on tv).

I assume Storm would have the most support of NRL clubs because almost anyone in Melbourne asked which NRL team you support would say Storm even though 99% probably have never seen a game and probably never will.

This type of survey is meaningless. Football clubs have different regions they get a lot of their support from, it would have to be a pretty extensive survey to be accurate, I doubt that it is.

 

[Orange Peanut]

It's Roy Morgan, so I don't think you can doubt the extensiveness. I reckon it's probably pretty accurate, if you're only asking people who their favourite team is.
The Storm comparison is perfect.

We should be celebrating the fact that we are able to get so many members from such a low supporter base.

I was a Roy Morgan interviewee a few years back. Used to get a $10 Coles voucher for my thoughts. Paid for a tray of lamb chops. Depending on the survey it was very detailed and time consuming. I think I was in the Consumer Team; do I eat this, wat do you think of the package, do you eat out? Do you like a Twister or 3 piece feed? After a big night out? Kind of questions

$10 for a tray of lamb chops, so decades ago then....

Twister of course. But must end up in one's lap.

Clickbait and hot takes: How do fans navigate today's footy media?

From Kane Cornes to Brian Taylor, football media has moved from genuine insight and debate into a world of clickbait and hot takes, writes Rohan Connolly.

RoCo has nailed this one.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

You could count genuine football journalists on one hand.

The rest are agenda driven puppets.

 

[Only Forwards]

There is an opportunity for those that have been made redundant and are good at their job to band together and set up something that resembles a decent outlet for football media.

Given how poor most of the media is there is room for it.

Worsfold was on the money when he had a crack at Lloyd, and Lloyd's actually one of the better ones.

They are opinion commentators, not journalists, and furthermore, the actual "journalists" seem to constantly obsessed with the politics of the sport and moralising.

They'd be drowned out by the dross and beaten into submission.

They wouldn't be selling anything so would struggle for the mighty advertising dollar.

They'd lack sufficient radical opinion to generate clicks.

But what they would be, is quality writers focused on the finer details of the sport.

Which sadly isn't enough.

I don't remember him ever writing anything remotely like this during all those years he was riding side saddle with Wilson, who was the original driving force for such crap.

She is the mother of this viral wowserism.

Not being dross is the point of difference. AFL associated media is all a joke.

If they built viewership advertising would come. They'd likely need investment capital to begin with. As most new ventures would.

Not being radical click bait is an advertisable quality. All footy no bullshit.

They would be quality writers focused on the finer details and that is the gap. Because very few outlets do that remotely well.
