Then how will you afford a red pen?
I think North have one of the more loyal fan bases.maybe but we have more members than those clubs and have so for the last few years.
I think we have grown enough to the point where in the future bottoming out won't be a big issue
Access to the ground isn't the issue. It's about 'why would new supporters join North'?
And geography isn't in their favour in regards to that.
the irony of this from a carlton supporterNorth's strong stance to not bottom out and maintain a strong culture is admirable, sadly its unsustainable to push for a serious flag tilt, think everyone would agree that long term, you'd much rather have The Saints, Dees and the Doggies lists for long term success than NM's.
The fault is with the draft/socialist system that punishes teams who refuse to bottom out.
You can't distinguish between those two concepts?"Geography isn't the issue; geography isn't in North's favour."

Why?Fickle fan base. I just wish back in 2008 they took the offer to relocate to the Gold coast.
Having an arrogant, elitist type representing the club is fine as long as they aren't out of touch and just make excuses, ridicule spirit and culture and create a sterile environment where one does not belong.
Whose the other 3? Bulldogs?....We're the smallest of the "small 4".
Don't forget the curse of Lindsay Thomas.2008 wants its thread back.
Pre Hobart, debt reduction, facilities, 18 teams.
Suggesting a couple of appearances in the bottom four is bottoming out, is a bit rich.
Weird thread but in a strange way Brad Scott is eroding away why a lot of people wanted to ensure North remained in Melbourne.
Trying to snipe Harvey into retirement goes against securing the all time record holder and another aspect that makes North unique.
They are out of the woods in terms of being able to slide for a few years but at the same time, the Brad Scott way is emptying the club of what made people want them around in the first place.

Emotional detachment is what Scott brings and hopefully he offers that when he steps down in October.
Yep. It still lingers.Don't forget the curse of Lindsay Thomas.
They're reminiscent of 02-06 MelbourneWhat's my club got to do with it ? We know we're s**t, simply stating that North's teams of battlers, is a 6th placed team (at best)
North haven't had access to top young tier talent like the other small 3 Vic clubs, so I think that's a legit excuse.
And, they are have no chance at signing a big name young player like Treloar, because they haven't got the draft picks and trade assests to satisfy GWS. Would the Giants actually want any of North's young players in a trade ?
I wouldn't have thought so. (Sideshow Ben is a star, and untouchable and GWS don't need him anyway)
Not trying to have a crack at North but they are stuck in footy's purgatory (which is still a lot more respectable then Carlton's position right now I might add)
I love you Thats Wright (no homo). Any chance to refer to Thomas or Brad Scott and you seize it.Yep. It still lingers.
Played our only 4 quarter game against Geelong when he missed.
Not that confident against Melbourne because the coaches will be going through the biannual routine of trying to get him into form. Always at the expense of the other forwards and mids which chokes them up.

And I'm pretty sure North are going to play finals this year. Might even win one if you play Richmond or Footscray.
Memberships fluctuate on form. You've been a better side than the other 3 clubs for the last few years.maybe but we have more members than those clubs and have so for the last few years.

Should do considering they are playing the Dees, Saints, Freo after the derby, Dogs back from Perth and our bunnies the Tigers.
Glad to see you understand.
Scotts the main cause of the mediocrity and Thomas the main cause of inconsistency.
That being said, glad you see the wisdom in less rotations and not hiring a malthouse lackey.
I feel your frustration. If such a thing exists, North are my second team so I'd like to see them do well. Wouldn't be looking to offer Brad Scott any contract extensions unless North are top 4 and winning finals in 2015-16. And hopefully your next president is stronger and more forthright than Brayshaw. Otherwise it's time for a cleanout and rebuild with a new coach, president and playing list. No more short-term fixes with recruiting old blokes or 'mini-rebuild' nonsense and limply floating around mid-table.Should do considering they are playing the Dees, Saints, Freo after the derby, Dogs back from Perth and our bunnies the Tigers.
