Prediction Dr Sonja Hood AM

[roos_fanatic08]

Well she has jinxed us this week. 70+ point belting incoming.

 

[Event Horizon]

100%. I thought we were a sneaky chance, especially if Collingwood choose to rest a few. But now we are no chance

Never understand why key figures make outlandish predictions like this. Literally nothing to gain everything to lose.

If you lose you cop it from the biggest club in the league and the wider media.

If you win you get to say I told you so, which no one cares.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Haha, it was fine for the tone of this interview and will make zero difference to the result.

 

[Frank Thring]

But if we win, very bold. We are North Melbourne

 

[gokangas]

FFS - Sonja says we will win and everyone cracks it. WTF? What did you want her to say? Oh well, we are crap so I suppose anything less than a 10 goal loss will be acceptable? She said it with all the confidence I would want from a club leader. I'm not sure she really expects a win but what else should she say? Lighten up a little.

 

[hilly]

Couldn’t say it better.
We have had draft choices handed to us to improve us nothing yet .
We have recruited players which we have payed offers do nothing.
We haven’t improved in 4 years.
We have not improved are ladder position for the last 4 years.
We protect incompetent off field personnel who don’t know how to do their job.
To sum it up the Supporters of the NMFC are sick and Fu:king tired of the BS spin that this club continues to shove down the supporters throats.
Something has to give.
I’m just waiting to August to see the fallout.

Once again I am asking what is happening in August.

There’s no shortage of material to question her on, but proclaiming a victory isn’t one of them.

Just say that I know the boys have been working very hard and have had a good month, let's hope they can go well against what's clearly been the best side in it thus far. Enough said

But maybe she thinks we’ll win. So she said that.

The fact that is an issue with some is ridiculous.

Clarko: “we want to be in games for longer”
BigFooty: “no Clarko we want to win!”

Sonja: “we will win this weekend”
BigFooty: “no Sonja we don’t want to say that”

 

[The Filth Wizard]

As I was leaving my seats at the G last week I bumped into a veteran poster I hadn't seen in many years and left saying "we'll win next week" and now I've realised I might be spiraling out of control.

Why provide the opposition with any more motivation than they already have? Why give them something they can put up on their whiteboard before the game?

I'd rather they treated it as a dead rubber and rested half the side

President says team will win
Fans angry President is too positive

We are through the looking glass here people

President has her priorities stuffed in her own pipe.

She was non existent in the month of bad results.

I think we have had bad results since round 1.

She comes out of hiding after a win? Give me a spell. No spine

Just out of interest, which other club president is setting the standard for Sonia? The last time I remember one talking he was defending himself about his penis and I'm just not sure I want Sonia following suit.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Whyyyyyy would you say that publicly?

 

[zoomba23]

I reckon we'll scare em again. A win is a big call, but it's great to see someone at the club backing the lads in, at least. They haven't even learned yet to back themselves in during those tense game scenarios, so something like this is hardly gonna make things any worse.

And she waited till we actually showed a sustained run of semi-competence on-field to say something so positive, too. Not like she plucked it out as a meaningless post-Good Friday platitude. Absolute non-issue

 

[StrokerAce]

Bloody love it. Good on you Sonja! Should be more of it. If the leaders of the club don’t believe we can do it, the players never will.

 

[ohh_v]

Stupid thing to say publicly, gain nothing if we actually win.

If we lose.. just going to look delusional.

Nah, was done in good spirit.

 

[Samsquanch]

Nah, was done in good spirit.

Of course it was. Anybody upset with anybody associated with the club having a positive attitude and tipping a win is a bum.

Which other clubs have our record?

 

[Dinkers]

Once again I am asking what is happening in August.

OMG, please see below and I got these of my official NMFC calendar. And this is the August pic on said calendar. Didn't you get the calendar with your membership.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Which other clubs have our record?

So we should have the only president making noise? I'd prefer to see it come from the coach and then the players.

I get that her foray out yesterday has annoyed some that fear the footy gods but one thing she does well is hold her own in good humour around media blokes, they gave her a lowball question and she came out with bravado but part of me thinks our most major problem at the club is confidence so if she reflects a positive mindset the club and players are in at the moment then it either gets dented or multiplies around 10.30pm Saturday.
