EVERYONE in the Victorian media seems to be taking aim at the Sydney club and supporters for the abysmal crowd Saturday night, and I know that's partly fair enough.
But did anyone read in today's Herald Sun Pulse section, that Ricky Ponting, North's No 1 ticketholder, texted Glenn Archer before the game from his home IN SYDNEY to say it was too cold and wet and he'd be staying home to watch the game on TV.
FANTASTIC advertisement for the commitment of North fans in general, when their highest-profile fan, a bloke used as a spearhead in the club's campaign to stay in Melbourne 12 months ago, can't be fcked to make it to his team's elimination final, even when it's being played in his home city. Goodd on you, Ricky, that's showing your colours.
(I just had to highlight this because, 48 hours after the event, I'm now sick of the slagging we've copped about the crowd and I want Demetriou's fat head on a stake in the main shopping centre in Blacktown, so all the AFL haters there have someone to direct their bile at.)
