Essendon to Save Norf "blockbuster" Game

[HirdsTheWord]

Obviously Norf Vs Saints Good Friday last year was a crap fest with 2 absolute minnow clubs battling it out in front of 65 members of the public.

Now Essendon has been asked to save the day and turn this s**t show into a marquee game, that being said we obviously (as we can all agree with BT https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/04/17/brian-taylor-comments-wrong-says-north-melbourne-chairman/) cant do that with Norf as part of the fixture.

So opening this up to clubs we don't currently have a showcase game against. Obviously minnow clubs not welcome.

Richmond - sorry Dream time.
Collingwood - sorry ANZAC day
Geelong - sorry Farmers Day (LOL)

Giving blockbusters only to "big 4" clubs is one thing, giving them to Norf is the other extreme of the spectrum. Hawthorn & Geelong have shown you don't need top 4 teams involved to create massive games with huge crowds, but giving them to the Vic club with the LEAST amount of supporters is just stupid.

Dwarfmelbourne need all the help they can get, disbandment is a very real scenario in the not too distant future.

It's a lot to do with people who have nothing else in their life besides football.

I am aware of the self troll here.

I'm not so sure Essendon are still part of the big 4, they have leaked a number of members in recent years.Let North keep it, they've got nothing else, and they did get rid of the pokies.

North is your grand final

So what you're saying is that Essendon will "inject" some life into this fixture?

Fair call, Hird is rightly facing the pointy end of the criticisms and it's a sore point amoungst Essendon's drug suppliers who don't like getting needled.Is McDonald-Tipunwoodi the only clean player to play at Pindy Hill in the last 6 years?

yes.

Never heard this one. Really good mate!

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Only good thing about this game is that the jumpers dont clash.

 

[Socrates2]

Tipunwoodi to kick 6, Zeiball to kick 0 goals 5 behinds.

Thank you,

When it comes to Essendon

*, its going to be packed. It will take me ages to get a beer, chips and go to the dunny which will probably be full of syringes.

 

[hilly]

Happy to take their money. Hopefully not turned away at the gate for dress code violations i.e. track pants, ill-fitting t-shirts, excessive flannelette etc.

glory be, its going to be packed. It will take me ages to get a beer, chips and go to the dunny which will probably be full of syringes.

LOL.

It is a North home game after all so your beer and chips will likely have syringes in in too.

As much as they are an absolute basket case which pleases me greatly, making Good Friday an Essendon v Carlton annual blockbuster has appeal and $$ written all over it.

Make it happen Gil.

* off norf.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Essendon were given this game to create some good PR or them.

 

[zackah]

Whilst we are at it, I think we can all agree that true blockbuster games are only between Big 4 clubs, so I'm happy to downgrade our country clash against Geelong to replace with the Good Friday Carlton match to ensure we still only keep 3 blockbusters.

It's only fair after all.

 

[FurTheWin]

I'd be in favour of moving Cats-Hawfs to Good Friday. Easter is a 5 day session, I should be able to watch the Cats bank the 4 points on the second evening and spend the rest of the holidays with a smile on my face.
North-Dons should be moved to the Monday, which is the equivalent of a Sunday twilight game.
It's only reasonable.

Hello fellow honourable North Melbourne supporters, please have the below saved and ready to use for Friday.
