I agree about the kangaroos supporters being the biggest whingers of the comp.

I wouldn't agree with that, I think they just have a very vocal and passionate core supporter group which has an expectation of winning, whereas a lot of other supporter groups either don't care or don't expect to win. A bit like us they have a core who supports the club through thick and thin. They certainly don't have a lot of bandwagoners who only show up when they expect to win.

One thing you gotta love about them is their passion - I swear last night sounded like 60 000 at times.

I've been pretty ticked off by some of the calls on SEN andso on but you have to keep it in context.
 
best team won on on the night. no doubt about that. north played a great game and really took it up to the cats but the cats' class and pressure was just too great in the end. led all the way and always seemed reasonbably comfortable in maintaining the lead. umpiring wasn't great for both sides....north supporters might be complaining but so was i when the north player (brown?) ran a mile without bouncing, when bartel had his jumper nearly ripped off his back off the ball with no free, a 50/50 pounce on the ball that was given against the cats for holding the ball...when both the north and cats player(can't remember who they were) both held it in, the softest 50 against wokak, a too high that wasn't paid. If we had of lost I certainly wouldn't have blamed the umpires. It was a close, cracking game fought out well. Be proud of your players North supporters, they took on the best and got close...certainly a massive turnaround from the last time we met. Don't be sore losers though.

WHat about it???

It was stupid. Last night NM fans cracking the shits and yelling 'look at free kick tally umps' when it was clearly a Geelong Free such as holding the ball.

We got more free kicks not because of favouritism, but because they were there. There were a few iffy ones, but no more than any other game.
 
i wouldn't say that's a HUGE difference in frees.....we DID have more of the ball, we DID lay more tackles. so is what your saying that if a team has less frees than the winning team they've been robbed?? come on mate, the best team won on the night....in fact we should've won by a lot more because we muffed a few easy ones in front of goal. move on.

Because the free kick count needs to be EXACTLY equal otherwise you've been robbed. :rolleyes: You should write a letter to the AFL. Do it now, before you forget. I'd suggest "We wuz robbed cos they got more free kickz than us".

Seriously. Your club has an enormous amount of dignity, you should take the example they set.

Thanks for proving my point several pages earlier.

North Melbourne lost, they weren't good enough. An inability to stop Ablett cost you the win. An inability to stop Mooney and SJ cost you the win.

I loved winning though, it was great. you should try it some time!

Your argument. Or lack thereof. Enough said.

Who said it should be even? No other stat was even. We were first to the footy and laid more tackles and were duly rewarded. Plus you put about four on the full.
