Basketball style last touch mate

Harking back to to his bedroom video days

He wore something similar earlier this season and he revealed on The Front Bar that his brother had texted him to say it was good to see him taking time off from his job as an international jewel thief to call the football.

Watching game on Kayo on delay, and fantastic to see some of the North greats from 1970's and 80's out there. Barry Cable really has become person non grata in AFL executives world. Not one image of any of his great bits of play.

Haha Dennis Pagan revving up the young lads. "A lot of you blokes have got a bit to answer for last week - no daydreaming" - love it. Lets see how they respond.

That's the jumper North should wear against Collingwood not the Argentinian national soccer team one they have been forced to wear so Collingwood can wear black and white or white and black only.

Phillips can’t even kick over half a jam tin

 

[jdeezy]

Remember when we got fined (probably rightly) for playing Aliir who visibly seemed concussed but passed a concussion test? But nothing to see here with big helmet stumbling around for 10 minutes

They don't even rock the Argentina any more, just white and blue stripes versus Collingwood's black and white ones. North are an absolute shitshow when it comes to Guernsey clashes, right up there with Carlton and Essendon, they insist on wearing blue shorts with their white Guernsey and forcing their opponents into white shorts, and their "clash" Guernsey is equally white and blue as they're home one.

This would be a much better clash option but for a nothing club they really are entitled

It's their 'centenary match' tonite - I bet the umpires have been instructed not to let them lose by 100 points or more. I wonder if they'll be wearing this jumper:

EDIT: yes they will:

Which is the guernsey they are not wearing until round 20.

So you know how sometimes old people hang on to a big milestone before dying

Can we do that with Norf and fold them up now

POO POO POO!!

Why have four umpires when they continually make howler decisions like the Zurhaar mark and Bont HTB

Harsh, they don't have to be completely nuked from existence, could make a crack at the VFL or the Melbourne amatuer league

The answer is obviously five umpires.

 

[afl2004]

Losing ldu in the 2nd qtr , definitely didn't help

 

[chiwigi]

I just think its awful.

I want contested ball and players to try to keep the ball moving.

Watching players deliberately not pick the ball up because they're gonna get a kick if they let it roll over I find terrible, and getting rid of boundary line throw ins (no Ryder2Gray moments) and all the structuring work that goes on around them is also bad. It reduces the value of rucks and stoppage play and increases the value of kicking under no pressure.

Also just from a positioning standpoint a team that manages to move the ball 100m forward should be rewarded for that in terms of how they can shift their players up in to offensive positions, not have to go back and start again while the opposition has a kick in back over their heads.

Players will not kick down the line as much and we will see more contests within the field of play (potentially).

Norf shouldn't exist. It's so abundantly clear.
