NMFC cliches done to death

[Urmoe]

Ive been thinking, and there are a few cliches Im really sick of hearing from commentators and supporters alike when it comes to our great club.

Apart from the well worn cliches about 'shinboner spirit' the two quotes I keep hearing that I will strangle the next guy I hear saying them are:

- Wells needs to be more selfish
- Swallow lacks awareness

Anyone have any more?

Lindsay Thomas gets decapitated and goes to ground holding his bloody neck cavity. Some peanut says "That's so un-North Melbourne like."

In addition to ^ : "Arch and/or Colby wouldn't have done that".

 

[__aria__]

urquhart is the best kick in the team

 

[franjon]

He supported North as a kid.

 

[year of the roo]

"aria is humourous"

 

[tribey]

"Leigh Brown should be captain" (Healy, 2005-7) is my alltime favourite.

 

[giantroo]

He supported North as a kid.

I think Urmoe has a big claim on this prize right here.

 

[Bigeasy]

"relocation still hanging over North Melbourne's head"
&
"The cash-strapped Roos"

 

[CrazyQ]

Time will tell

 

[CrazyQ]

Proof will be in the pudding

 

[Coach Bombay]

Dean Laidley - " Yeah Nah"

 

[Jebus]

- "Laidley get's the best out of an average list"

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

- "Laidley get's the best out of an average list"

This one pisses me right off.

"Shinboner spirit got them over the line"

 

[mark73]

The Age understands.

 

[Sandgroper35]

"Lack star quality".

 

[Yianni]

You reckon just Urmoe?

I reckon we all supported North as a kid. I know I did!

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Well, <Watt, Power, Brown> certainly wasn't our worst out there today!

 

[Rippednew1]

"He could possibly take them to a flag."

 

[Urmoe]

Oh yeah, you just reminded me of another that shits me

"xxxxxxxx wont be in our next premiership team"

 

[taekwondo]

They are always saying that North Melbourne are a bunch of battlers. That shits me to tears.

 

[Mr Reliable]

We want to win back 'respect'.

Next week is the most important game we're going to play this season.

We'll come out fighting next week. That was a most un-North Melbourne-like effort.

[I prefer all these statements to be stored up, amended slightly and said AFTER we have had a win, or not at all]



Then there's the tendency to describe a 10 goal loss as "we matched 'em for three quarters. We've just got to remember the game goes for 100 minutes."

[This is usually a BS excuse and it assumes that we can turn it on whenever we like as if there was no opposition]

Oh man, you managed to pick the best of the lot. That respect one pretty much pisses us all off. I reckon that if we had the chance to belt them, we probably would. I know you would MR. R.

 

[DarwinRoo]

(Jones, Harris etc) have plenty of credits.

Delisted hack from another club should be looked at.

Make it happen Euge.

'Harvey, Simpson, Wells in their best. They need their middle tier players to lift if they want to take the next step.'
Ive heard this after most wins for the last 7 years.
