Buddy ..... answer this truthfully ..... is there anything else to your life other than North?

Westy

I've posted less than 100 posts in 2 months. You have posted nearly 500 posts. It would therefore seem that the more pertinent question would be to you...do you do anything else with your life except post on this BB..because it doesnt seem as though you do.

And wait till the Bombers whip your arse like the Saints did. Remember yours is the team with the tragic history.

I've made 500 odd posts in 8 months..... you're on the ball today.

You didn't answer my question though.

Why is it that every single one of your posts are centred around one club? You would think that someone would be more emotional about their club.... would at least show SOME interest ...... would concentrate on whether veterans like Jacob will be able to make a belated comeback into the team for the season.... how your key position flankers such as Ronamascis should be playing at CBF instead of a CFH pocket etc.etc. But nup.... lets talk about North..... all-day ..... every-day. And nothing much to do with actual football either.

So why is it? And if it's the economic rationalism debate ..... posting on BB's using such classy wit as 'pauperoos' is achieving alot for your irrational obsession/cause aint it?

And call my team tragic as much as you want .... it's not gonna get my team to win any less or any more.... but I'll meet ya when we play ya's if ya want ...... you do go to Bombers games don't ya? ..... or do you go to North games instead to pick out any petty, pedantic little thing from the match so that you can come back and tell Bigfooty.com about it?

I copped enough crap off Norf supporters in the mid 90s and I am extracting my revenge.

But if I am concentrating on revenge with respect to my team, what's your excuse. You support neither Norf nor the Bombers.

Or is it comradeship in adversity re lack of members and support that draws you out to defend Norf?

If I want to stick the boots in to a team that will disappear in its present form b4 the end of the decade, surely I am entitled to do so. It is not as if teams supported by others on this board have not been knocked for things other than footy, so I am not groundbreaking in that context either.

So what's your point? Dont pick on Norf or only pick on them for on field related issues?

I was pissed of at Greg Miller on C7 in 1998 when he complained Norf played better footy than Essendon but the crowds watched Essendon and not Norf and he couldnt understand why. He suggested Norf was the most professional and best run club. Well all I am doing is pointing out to Norf people and others that Miller is a dickhead and no team is better ON OR OFF THE FIELD IN ANY RESPECT THAN ESSENDON. Certainly not Norf, and especially not the Bullfrogs.

Cheers to you!!!

You keep up your little crusade Gwimmy and make the world a better place by pointing out all the injustices perpetrated by big bad North on li'l ol Essendon!!!

Cheers

Stick with your day job Gonzo otherwsie the other muppets may miss you and your contribution to society too. I mean someone has to get the invalid pension and it may as well be you.

Oh did you hear the announcement at the 'G the other night? Where they asked the driver of the NM membership bus to go to his bus b/c the entire NM membership wanted to go home early. Is it true the driver is Trevor Marmalade? And that when the announcement was made they were all in one toilet cubicle at the same time?

HAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA

It hurts doesnt it Gonzo? And it aint gonna get any better. Bye bye pauperoos. No. 16 is the tally of the number of our flags and is also your ladder position. Oh you knew that anyway.

Kinda reminds me of the Collingwood fans who frequent this site and their infatuation with Essendon. You just take it as a compliment that people can be that hung up on it.

Settle down dude. No need to get all aggressive, it was just a question.

"What's my excuse for being in this thread?" Bored of seeing the same old boring crap day after day .... same shit... same person.... same board. I was just wondering why you weren't over it by now (because it's just irritating), that's all, especially since it aint achieving anything. You also mentioned a 'comeradore', well I wouldn't call it that.... more an understanding for the position that they're in. Guess what.... we've got less members... less supporters ... less success .... why don't you come after me if your looking for a team to bag that's also in the shit, and doesn't have it's future assured? Go for your life buddy!.... calling us Bullfrogs, Bullcrappers, Western Dogknobs, Fartscray.... saying that we should have more premierships and have a tragic history, that our players are scratching turds, that we have junkies as supporters, (if they're not already in jail), that we stink.... etc. etc. Hope you have heaps of fun.

One more thing:- "Concentrating on revenge for my team?" ..... umm .. here's a thought.....how about mentioning your team once in while!? I mention the doggies in almost every post ..... that's my team btw.... for some unknown reason every single one of my posts isn't directed at Carlton because Elliott called us tragic. Actually, after watching you and your 'great' work out of pure bitterness over the past couple of months because of THAT interview on C7 three years ago (LOL), I might give it a try myself ...um....er John Elliott sucks? Carton sucks? .... sorry.... doesn't quite do it for me unfortunately. Sorry again! You're on your own.

You've got your "reasons" ...... keep on going with it man ..... keep up the 'original' "bus" jokes like the above reply to Gonzo..... post your mandatory 5 topics a day on North because their CEO said something in '98 in an interview on C7 (lol again)..... sounds like you're having grouse fun....

I'll leave ya to it then.

Personally I have never felt the need to have a go and any body worse off than myself. Given Essendon has so many more flags and money than the Bulldogs and the Roos combined, why bother getting so hot under the collar ?

Spot on Arch!..... and the sad thing is that they don't even realise that's what they're doing it. Wish more people were hung up on the doggies though ... have to get Libba to do some more dirty work i think.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Thanks Westy. Bu the reason I dont attack the doggies is they are not arrogant. Not that there is anything wrong with being arrogant, its just that it must be earned. Norf are arrogant, but htey are Johnny come latelys who really havent come at all. Smorgon knows when to stick his head up and say something and when to keep low. Norf dont. It may be that the Essendon Norf rivalry has surpassed the Carlton or Collingwood rivalry b/c we have always had the measure of the other two, and now that we have the measure of Norf they still think they are the best and deserve to be classed in the same league as us. No way. And no one really wants them to be. The sooner they disappear from the planet like the Lions, the better for the AFL and fixturing. Its not as if they are pulling their weight and bringing any financial gain to the competition. Quite the opposite in fact.

I hope you realise that I was being sarcastic. In all seriosuness, I think your baseless one man war against North is just boring, and to be frank, pretty stupid and pointless.

North have proven what they can do by winning two premierships, add to that the fact that it wasn't done with an abundance of resources afforded to the power clubs. The runs are on the board (just as Essendons are- I'm not trying to take ANYTHING away from them), and they're both quite rightly regarded as the teams of the 90's.... with North just shading them IMO. Regurtitating cheap shots ad nauseam aint achieving anything at all.

Hey Gonzo,

If you contemplate the West Gate, remember to take a parachute.

It amazes me that so called Australian Rules
Football Fans actually wish for the demise of Teams in this Competition.
We have lost Sth Melb & Fitzroy (Don't hit me with the Sydney,Brisbane Crap)& now North is on the Hit List.
Why don't we just get rid of them all except the Bummers & they can play with themselves all the time.
Soccer,Basketball Etc. must be laughing their Heads off

These people are not real fans, they are here to do just what Westy said they were doing. Read their posts on other topics and you will understand. They have stuffed lives and have obviously been bullied in the schoolyard when they were kids, and so they come in here and try to be tough, treat them for what they are, idiots and not worth replying to.
