It is officially a crisis.

[gokangas]

60 plus years of continuous membership and today is as embarrassed as I have been for many years by our club. 5 years of garbage and we can't get pumped for our biggest game of the year? Really? The club is in crisis. A crop of high draft picks, best available coach - what's left?Today we get thrashed by a team whose coach was gonna be sacked if they lost.

We are in a crisis. Please, tell me how we fix this shambles. Who takes responsibility?

 

[Passmore]

It's our perpetual state of existence.

 

[Themanbun]

I don't think it'll be long before the question about our existence will start being asked when Tassie come in.

 

[tales129]

Bye bye Sonja.

Time to stand up and make some calls or **** off into the sunshine.

If you’re such a fan to sit in the stands - you can feel how ****ed we are now.

Big time calls need to be made

 

[Shermanator]

Any chance we can get some juicy late second round PP’s (that we need to trade for potatoes) to help get us out of this hole?..

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Truth is we starved off Gold Coast but since 2007 we have been deplorable. In the end Brad Scott was actually the anomaly. He kept us competitive.

 

[koshari]

Couldnt watch after quarter time, looks like a validated decision.

We are genuine frauds.

Larkey on the media going on about us not wanting to be lauching stocks then after taking a rare contested mark plays on from point blank and misses.

Zurhaar bust's forward under no pressure puts it on a defenders tit.

Same old same old.

 

[Chadwiko]

How many new threads do we need to say we are shit?

Not everyone needs their own thread.

We have the rock bottom thread, the failed rebuild thread, the autopsy thread, the Rawlings thread, the clarko thread...

30 something years continuous membership. A few of those years when I really didn't have the money but did it anyway. Still paid up while we continually got screwed in Docklands seating deals and we put teams of sub VFL players on the field. Put the hand in the pocket in 2007. Wrote letters to the Age requesting a right of reply to their anti North agenda lead by their former chief writer. Gave a shit.

Today was just embarrassing. If that's what gets served up, they can give me a call in 2026 and ask why I haven't renewed. And by "they", I mean Sonia, Clarkson or Brady, not the work experience kid.

Pathetic.

These ****ing clowns should hand their entire pay check to the Good Friday Appeal ****ing wage theives

Its a sign of the times about how bad we are with no light at the end of the tunnel. Embarrassing.

Defence.

Everything we do, from now until the end of the year, should be based on defence.

And if you don’t defend, you get dropped. Simple.

I remember when Ross Lyon dropped Dal Santo and Milne (and a few others) in 2008. At the time, everyone thought the Saints were doomed and needed a complete rebuild. Turned out they beat us the following week at Carrara and became serious footy team after that.

We need to do the same. Every single player should be on notice that they are on thin ice. If you defend, you stay in the team. If not, you’re dropped.

No favourites - just basic standards

I think we have been sold the magic beans.

Clarkson couldn’t run a chook raffle at the moment. We either have the most epically stupid defenders to ever play the game or Clarkson is setting them up to fail?

Pick one, but either way it’s a shitshow.

Clarko players kickers instead of defenders or footballers being the ball.

He's lost it.

It starts in the middle. I don’t give a **** right now if we kick a winning score. We need to get ugly and start ****ing up our opposition.

If our opponents get 12 goals or more, then it’s a failure.

Less than 12 goals and it’s a win.

We need to get the foundations right. And the foundation of any good team is defence.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Never left a game early in my life, I was close against the swans and today I pulled the trigger. Absolutely disgusted.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

The core is rotten and there is a stench of death.

 

[NMFC49]

The core is rotten and there is a stench of death.

Clarkos game plan doesn't work with this list. The mindset of the team was reflected in the last 5 minutes when Konstanty celebrated his goal. Hardly touched the ball all day. This club's culture is all about kumbaya. It's destroying us.

 

[Shermanator]

Bring your mouthguards on Monday boys.

We’ve got some kindergarten kids coming into the club to paint them with polka dots and rainbows..

Probably not enough to indicate the level of shitness he have achieved

 

[Ligma]

Cannot blame anyone but ourselves.

 

[Ligma]

Move us to china

 

[Mr north man]

Everyone is upset with anger but nothing will be done.
We are like an alcoholic who won’t face up to it’s problems until its too late.
We are an Embarrassment to Australian sport on all levels.
As Apolllo Creed said to Rocky in Rocky 3
There is no tomorrow
There is no tomorrow

 

[Whippet1]

I wonder what the guys coming from successful clubs like Parker and Daniel make of the dumpster fire North currently is. They’d be in a unique position to identify whatever it is that we are lacking.
My theory: ahem. We’ve recruited a lot of really immature players onto our list. Not just young, but too immature for the rigours of AFL. They might come good but it will take them years.
