The meaning of Shinboner Spirit, well I advise everyone to get a copy of tonights North & Fremantle match. What guts, what passion, what a club, what spirt, it really has made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end I was so proud of this great & proud club. Tonight I will be wearing my blue & white striped jumper to bed with pride.

DANIEL WELLS WHAT A STAR, THE BIG SAV, COLBERT, STUFF IT THE WHOLE BLOODY SIDE HAVE A BEER ON ME.

It was just fantastic wasn't it!! So many players stood up when it counted. Wellsy absolutely superb last qtr, Rawlings another tremendous job, the baclkline holding firm and then rebounding strongly, the big Sav etc etc. The side is playing some good footy and lots of credit must go to Laidley I reckon. I love this footy club!!

Thought we lacked it in the first half and showed glimpses in the 3rd quarter but that last quarter they came back and the spirit showed.

That was- the greatest win we have had all year, bar none.

I was proud after the Essendon match- but I haven't felt more proud all year.

Everybody put their bodies on the line, everybody tackled, everybody chased- EVERYBODY PUT IN. It was f'n brilliant.

Beaming with pride. Channel 10 are idiots- they broadcasted what sounds like a rather average game.. and Foxfooty put on a ripper.

Go Roos

At 3/4 time, apparently North were $3.00 and Freo about $1.33 or something.

Yep.....A truly gutsy win at a ground that is very friendly to the local teams.

People might say Freo has lost a couple there this year but a win at any interstate venue is worth heaps to a team trying to break into the final eight.

Call it Shinboner Spirit , it was a truly gutsy performance tonight after the Dockers got away to a flyer.

have a few beers.

I had my radio and tv on, even though there is slight delay. When the boys were belting out the song. So loud.

Thats what sheer spirit, guts, determination, commitment, skill gets you.

Spirit,guts, determination, commitment, skill = NORTH MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB

Oh wow - so many responses here sum up how I'm feeling, when Motlop scored that final goal, I ran out of my bedroom ran up to my boyfriend and started squealing and jumping about how I was the happiest person that ever lived...and then I almost cried when the boys walked into the room and Laids was grabbing them and then I screamed the song along with them...god I'm happy.

They do it though, don't they, make you think it's all over and a loss is immnent and then out of nowhere they rally and take the game. I was in anguish watching the game but the high has hit now.

(And I feel so dreadful because I tipped against the Roos this week and last - maybe it's me who needs the spirit!)

Sounds like he'll be the happiest tonight ;)

Surely you're in a tipping comp for money then?

Yes, I was cursing them as well. I dived for the radio to hear what was happening. I bet there was an uproar at the Captains' Club when they lost the signal!

I expect you can extract that goal and have it available for download so all of us can enjoy it over and over?

:eek: How could you tip against the Roo Boys??? I tip them every week regardless of who they play. It's the only game I tip with my heart, though!
