It's only a couple blowhards on their board. One in particular, who is haunting that thread has more alias than a Canberra call girl. Tas for one, more than makes up for them.

Every Norf argument is based on the presumption that one day their team will be the best in the universe, when in reality they aren't even the best team north of Melbourne. They do a lot of tyre pumping when it comes to their players. If they had Schoenmakers they'd claim he'd be the best CHB in the business. Deluded.

Does anyone else remember the thread on the Drafts and Trading board entitled "North's Kids vs. Sydney's Kids"? It was from 2010 I'm pretty sure; back in Brad Roo's heyday.

Pretty much typical North hysteria, while in the end our kids (Kennedy, Jack, Hannebery) took us to a premiership.

That's it. Poor old norf have an absolute dickhead poster who creates an insane amount of aliases. There is something not right with him but most of the other north posters are ok. He goes out of his way to make them ridiculous.

Brad roo = teffy = obstacle = flag man = hard to beat = old skool = mario the lothario etc

That thread was closed unfortunately.

96 GF (even though they beat us)
19 men on the field
a controversy every time we play (and beat) them
but underlying this is insecurity that south melbourne relocated and have made a success of themselves in sydney. It's too close to home for them.

As much as I've been gotten a wry grin out of the resetting of the "we'll pass them in x years" count down that was subscribed to by a few of their fans, lets not get into the slagging of their posters / club as a whole. The ones who are... involved enough... to get upset by this flag will be burning enough as it is.

Edit: Did enjoy Teffy's description of Jack, Jetta, and Hannebery as plodders who wouldn't get a game at North, though.

See I don't get as you stated they won 96 we moved on why haven't they?

19th didn't effect the out come of the game

As for the so called controversies almost all are blown out of proportion BS excuse for why they lost. ( a mean it's like we come in late and take out a young bloke who was tearing shreds off them putting him out for a season)

That thread highlights north fans all being aliases not concerned with there back 6 or lack of a solid defensive gameplan, then in the same breath mention the hawks defensive structures fell apart in the last two finals, and nobody picks up on how ******ed they sound.

Man when the norf board realise the hawks were an attacking team who's biggest weakness is a soft defence there Gunna be pissed.

"the swans forced us to play on their terms" i.e. defensive and nullifying their awesome and exciting attack.

I take it you mean old skool ? (He is now Hard-to-beat).
He wasn't impressed when I told him Norf have only been around since 1921, King of deflection and a strong candidate for flog of the year.

What is North's obsession with us anyway?
Also Doc Aylett sent us up to Sydney in 82, When he became Pres of North again in the early 2000s he thought we would roll over and let them muscle in our patch. He moved us up there to die, we have flourished and he wanted a piece of the action.

Are you talking about when they were selling sydney NORTH memberships at a final in sydney to hoodwink swans fans into buying one?

North and carlton have tried to kill us off a few times.

Yeah, who cares? Sure, Teff's hilarious, and there's a few other people that hate the Swans, but that's true of pretty much any board. North were a great team once and will be again, same as any other club.

Except Richmond.

I love how Norf fans go on about their dynasty in the 90's. They beat a team in 1996 that had next to no finals experience whatsoever and in 1999 they absolutely grassed a GF. Essendon would have mauled them had they not choked against the Blues a week earlier.
