Embarrassing North Melbourne Confessions

[Jack Bradley]

My confession.

The thought of women playing in the North jumper with short shorts gives me a half mongrel.

I left the 2005 game against Collingwood early and watched us win from the bridge connecting the CBD to Etihad. Don't tell me no one else did that, must have been a few hundred there.

Nah, saw that one from the stands.

Not me - and I've definitely told this one before on here - but my mum called me in an absolutely foul mood to unload on North about 5 mins after our massive comeback game in Sydney for Archer's milestone game. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what the hell she was so pissed about until I realised she'd turned the TV off in a huff around about 1 min before we started that 39 point comeback. Took me another 5 mins to stop laughing enough to explain why it was so funny.

I've got a vague memory of pissing off from the G 3 goals down late in the last and hearing a few huge roars whilst standing on a platform at Punt Rd.

Got back to Y&J' s and lined up the first 2 pints and looking at the box and thinking, what the absolute *?

Won of course.

Good times.

I cried when Ross Glendenning decided to go back to WA.

I cried when the whole Wayne Carey thing happened. I was 12 at the time.

I changed the channel at 3QT - flicked it back about five minutes later and the margin was 18.

Still one of the more remarkable turnarounds I've seen.

 

[Limerick]

Left Whitten oval one day in the 70s (I think) when we were well down half way through the last quarter. Listened to the last 5 minutes in the car as we hit the front. Haven't left early since but have wanted to a few times.

 

[naturally north]

When we lost the 95 pre-lim against the Cats I nearly broke up with my then partner who happens to be Mrs nn of now nearly 26 years. I admit I was near fit to kill.

******* lost my s**t. ( Not against her of course)

Edit; was it 94, * I'm still angry.

Was this the Nathan Thomo flex his muscles final goal and the game that got the Filth Daisey?

I have not bought a raffle ticket since 1994.

I thought we were up a point in the 2013 Blues loss with seconds to go.

Nekminit we lost.

 

[Gasometer]

I told Stevo at a Pub that I named a budgie after him.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I got that worked up in that Eagles game with the 2 frees late and Natanui after the siren, I had started hyperventilating and some tears came out. It wasn';t crying, just very angry emotional exuberance.

In a house where everyone else had gone to sleep hours before, the silent punch into the couch left an indentation thats still there.

 

[Hojuman]

Yep. '94 prelim.
5.9 the first quarter.
Free kicks 34 - 12 Cats way.
Ablett given a bath by Mick.
Carey, well. He was just Carey.
Fruity hitting the post last q.

Balled like a baby when l got home.

I think i was just massively disappointed. No tears...no talking...nothing.

95 was just as bad at the end.

I used to have a budgie called ‘Schimma’! He could say, ‘Schimma, Schimma, Schimma’ and ‘Hello Schimma, how are you?’

 

[Colbys Boots]

I remember a game at Etihad Stadium about 5 years ago. Our boys were on fire, we got to about 6 goals up in the third quarter when I had to leave early to go to a meeting. Some spud named Kerridge went on a goal kicking spree after I left and the other mob got up in the dying seconds of the game.

I was on that bridge with you.

Our footy can be so unwatchable at times that I keep some great episodes of Seinfeld on my phone and when the s**t gets so bad I usually just watch one of the episodes rather than get up and leave, it also helps to drown out the "just kick it... to who?" nuffies.

It was your fault

 

[shinboner magic]

I didn’t go to the 93 game Against * aa I thought we were going to get pumped

That and the Eagles prelim.

Couldn't leave the couch afterwards. Couldn't speak to anyone. Wouldn't speak to anyone. Just sat there. Willed myself not to destroy property
