Season 2016 - North Melbourne

Given my complete and absolute contempt for AWFUL house and all that draw a salary out of it, that is a big fine. How good were the humps in our game on Sunday.? Perhaps there is an element of truth in what was said, i.e. the humps play favourites from time to time. Any critical comment , with a vague hint of truth to it will always have the flamethrower directed its way by the carnts running "our "game.

That’s because the AFL hide behind the umpiring, sexism, racism, and relevant scapegoats, etc. etc. rather than take responsibility for the bullshit they create.

Have they folded yet?

The AFL, North or both?
almost as embarrassing as raising money for your coaches legal fees.

Not every club is fortunate enough to have a coach be in legal trouble.

It is hella funny seeing North getting shown up as pretenders.

After round 16 they’ll be 8th! Quick drop for them

Crows kicking for goal was diabolical 12.28

Should have put game away a lot earlier.
4.10 in the last qtr.

A couple of poor goal umpire reviews went against them too IMO

Have they folded yet?

3 or 4 more weeks of 17 scoring shots to 40 & 80k fines should do it

Hmmm both.

They started well but didn’t really come up against good teams, they had a very soft draw. Now they are facing the better AFL sides and they are being beaten. They are a good side, just not quite good enough.

sh-t club, no fans.

You’re right Ice, I posted this early in the season stating that north has one of the softest draws I’ve seen in a while, would make collingwood blush. It wouldn’t be till round 10 before they played anyone of substance, that being Sydney. Well haven’t the wheels fallen off. Looking at their draw to the end of the season you couldn’t say any game is a guaranteed win. They could easily go 1-7.
Bunch of front runners and flat track bullies.

Problem is their best players are old boomer, petrie, walker, etc

Yep and this is a problem for them as others have stated. In two years time all those players will be fully gone and they will have nothing to show for it if they do not get a GF under their belt. Brad Scott will look like a loser and will be also gone.

Bye Brad.

Didn’t watch much.

But did see a little when it was close…just enough to see Petrie stage for a free when he should have been going 100% at the ball.

How about some of Dal Santo’s chases ?..pathetic
Might as well not even bother.

I’m going to call it early, if Port beat them in a few weeks, they might even miss the 8 !!!

Yep…

Us in 2012
All over again

Except at least we had good attendance numbers

out we come, out we come, out we come to rattle

They still have some decent kids but they would want to start the rebuild this trade period if they finish outside the top 4. Still have zeibell, cunnington, McDonald and a couple others plus they’ll get D Swallow to help them, but they need to get another pick or 2 in this draft early to avoid a freo-like collapse.
