North surprised me tonight. They were unlucky to lose in many ways

Didn't think they'd get that close which pissed me off no end. I'd be $150 richer tonight if they'd lost by a goal more

campaigners that they are

 

[Matele]

So after the Roos lose tonight, a potential loss against the crows, we beat the lions and bombers, we then have a chance to move above them as we play them at subi!

What a Brad Scott Week that could turn into

 

[avishka5]

I hope North don't win another game for the year, hate them with a passion formerly reserved for the Dockers.

i respect the Crows but i dont like it when they do well. lived in Adelaide for 7 years and i hate it when the crows beat us and do better than us.

Brad Scott whinging about a supposed umpire conspiracy around Thomas. Hope he keeps this form going for a few weeks, Brad Scott week was a big letdown last year

Pocket money I assume. Weird seeing a champion footballer on a kids show whilst he still works on TFS

Brad Scott has said that the umpires told his players during the game that Lindsay Thomas is a ducker and they wouldn't be paying him any frees. When asked to elaborate he said he wouldn't. Interestingly it's just been reported on ABC TV news that the AFL have asked the club to provide details and they will be reviewing the entire umpire audio recordings from the game. He's either telling the truth or not. Either way, someone should be held accountable.

Brad Scott and his twin are the masters of deflecting attention after a loss. Any tough questions coming his way are now deflected away and the attention is on the umpires calling the biggest cheat in the game a cheat.

He's basically doing the same thing. Acting the clown. Its funny because the girl on there gets shitted off with him sometimes

Exactly.

Didn't he also say a few weeks back that they (NM) are specifically practicing how to duck at training? So they train ducking but do not actually do any ducking during games, makes sense. The other possibility is all other North Melbourne duck but Thomas certainly does not duck in games.

Duck duck quack!

He brought the whole thing on himself by admitting he trained the duck. ( While also blaming West Coast for starting it.)

Best case scenario, there is no umpire audio to support his dummy spit and he gets called out as a lying weasel. With a side of AFL fine for disrespecting umpires would be nice.

 

[ziad]

Torn between to thoughts, the umpire/s was unbelievable un professional or they get the message out

 

[Keys]

I don't mind if the umpires make it harder for serial duckers to earn free kicks and that includes shuey

Players throwing their head back is not a good look

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Yeah but they will pay 5 blatant ducks by that flog sicily who has quickly become the worst ducker in the game, looks for it in every contest he is a piece of kaka

 

[amazingjoshy]

North officially withdrawing last nights statements in the media conference. "Conversations b/w players and staff were misconstrued"

 

[bUCKET__]

They should still fine that ****wit for attacking the integrity of the umpires without anything solid to back it up. Imagine the fines you'd get as a cricket coach making claims like that about umpires. Pity the AFL doesn't have a spine.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I'd vote for whatever party called for a royal commission into AFL umpiring.

I don't actually think the umpires are the problem - I think the AFL ****s them pretty hard, but a commish would clear that up.

 

[WCE_phil]

Umpires with integrity.

That statement is up there with the liberals supporting the unions, labor running a surplus, pauline hansen loving immigration and shane watson making the right drs call.

 

[MrKK]

AFL absolutely taking Norf to the woodshed over Scott's umpire comments.

 

[kane249]

As they should, it was a big claim by Scott and if he can't back it up then he should incur their wrath.

Not the first time he's gone off in an interview either, AFL should give him something hefty.

 

[whatis]

I know it's Brad Scott but he looked pretty sincere when he said it and I actually feel inclined to believe him. The AFL would never admit it though and will go hard on the tough talk, fines etc.

Meanwhile multiple times last night the umpires paid that absolute flog Sicily frees for the exact same shit Thomas is guilty of to win Hawks the game.
