I was a foolish optimist heading into last season.

Do you want if fixed? Twinkletoes ?

What should I replace the 19 with? I am of the view that 20 would be optimistic. Maybe 23 when TT, LDU, Zurhaar, Larkey, Jai, Scott, Will Walker, Charlie Comben, Flynn Perez, Mahoney, and Xerri are all hitting their straps.

Just read the Caroline Wilson article in The Age re this crisis and the AFL. Honestly fellow North supporters....do you really think our club can survive this? Could I please have some objective opinions on whether you think some clubs will actually disappear as a result of this situation?

I think the club, as a part of the whole that is the AFL, will be looked after the same as any other club. All of them will make sacrifices and all of them will come out the end because the symbiotic nature of the AFL kinda needs all the clubs to work together and coexist to continue to make money.
We'll be fine.

Stop reading Wilson’s bullshit and you’ll instantly feel better.

I don't think clubs will disappear. I took from it more that this is a massive wake up call to people who assumed the trough would keep growing - that the footy business needs reserves against disruptive events, not for spending on players and coaches and footy departments to keep growing as wildly as they have or for new clubs to keep appearing and be supported. Glad ours paid down some debts a while ago.

Does anyone know why she seems to have an irrational hatred of North? Wouldn't surprise me if I heard she was still going on about the chicken video.

Why are people saying it’s racist to have a go at the Chinese about the wet markets? IT ****ING COME FROM THERE. CLEAN THAT SHIT UP FFS.

The article I read made no specific mention of North Melbourne, it was just general crisis article that she gets off on. It’s her bread and butter. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy.

UK government publishes it's list of essential key workers.

Journos there, flog edgelords not.

Telling.

Think of back to 07, we survived then, we will continue to survive

At the end of the world, only two will remain

cockroaches and North Melbourne

edit: I’m pretty sure Groin guru might survive too with those samurai moves but it’s more poetic this way

 

[ferball]

Are there enough of those people to cause trillions of dollars of government social policies to come into existence this quickly?

No but disaster capitalists do exist and they will profit from this situation. And every situation.

How do you know that Val?

There's a reasonable zoonotic premise that it came via bats through canines, so it could have just as easily come from a bat (dies)-domestic dog (finds dead bat) -human interaction (dog licks humans face/hand) here in Australia.

Did you know that there are 4 genotypes of coronavirus in Australian bats?

Honestly. I have vegans in my socials calling people racist for cracking the shits at Chinese people for eating bats. WTF. Welcome to 2020

The opinions of woke morons are to be excluded from all adult discussions.

There's nothing racist about being concerned about unhealthy conditions that spread disease.

But running Wubonic Plague and Kung Flu shit, which is what a President who has spent the last 18 months picking a fight with China is saying?

That President clearly wants people to blame anyone but him for the deaths and economic dislocation happening there.

China is notoriously thin skinned and millions of words have been written about the Thucydides Trap ... a rising power that thinks it is being held back by the established power.

So,in a situation of severe economic downturn, when you have two monumentally unstable and self obsesed world leaders in Xi Jinping and Donald Trump (and Xi the more unstable and dangerous of the two) is it really a good idea to go around blaming China and the Chinese for the disease, especially when everyone has nukes.

Or is it better to blame shitty and unhealthy sanitary practices?

This is a really dangerous moment, throwing fuel on the fire isn't wise.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

I said I would stay out of this thread for a while and I plan to do, with the following exception.

It isn't just funny that you could take the posts of mouncey2franklin or Boomer29er or Shorts Steps and change the names and the lines are the same.

It is almost depressing that these imbeciles don't realise they are running an agenda for rich people who despise them, who have a truly sick vision for human society (Peter Thiel ...) in which they, the edgelords and independent thinkers, will not do at all well.

The irony in this is something else.

Your right to congregate has been taken from you. Your right to do business has been heavily curtailed.

And you believe that the government is doing this because they love you and care about you.

Here in Kuala Lumpur, the military is on the streets from Sunday. It is martial law.

And you will be defending the same thing happening in Australia if / when it comes to that, won't you?

And you will proclaim that I am somehow defending the 'rich people who despise me' when that is what people like you are in fact doing.

Happy to throw away your rights because the the same liars who brought you Nayirah and WMDs have now brought you a War on Germs.

Just like the War on Terror, it is a case of scare the bejesus out of them now, worry about democracy later.

Watch the idiotic masses swallow this whole and shout down anybody who says, 'guys, what about democracy?'

Vic Rail died from a similar situation to what you describe but bat - horse - human here in Oz

It goes back to the 70s. Her father Ian was president of Richmond during the 70s and 80s. The story goes that Richmond got the massive shi+s that Keith Greig beat Bartlett to win the '73 Brownlow and didn't like it when he won again. They also really hated our recruiting campaign around that time too.

I haven’t read but I know that Gate turn over is a key facet of Clubs revenue and when us, Members and Coteries aren’t turning up compounded with a likely Recession where sponsor dollars retract to cut costs, we are in for a world of pain. Nothing in the past 7 days has changed my mind. Nothing.

There is also the thing that the way Trump does it encourages others to target anyone of Asian appearance for abuse.

Not enough H2H on this forum these days.

North & Richmond animosity goes back 120 years.

Of course they will, it's smart business in some ways.

But my point is the cost/benefit of shutting down globalism is only viable on some crazy metal gear solid tier conspiracy theory in this climate

Yeah. From an economic pov. From the pov of the planet and non human life it's already paying off apparently.
