Wow, has it been that long? Feels like less than five years ago.
I might be on my own here, but I think this is a no-brainer for NM given their current position.
Their home games in Vic get fk all attendance. They’ve sold two, got some big money up front, and will probably also get some level of kick back from attendance. They’ve turned something they get fk all money from into something they’ll make a killing from, and they aren’t bound to it forever.
I agree with you but it just feels like they have sold a possible 8 premiership points for cash. The fixture is absolutely compromised anyway so all the best to them.
50% WR at Optus vs 47% (tassie) and 38% (marvel)
Probably works out better for their shithouse soulless club anyway
Yeah…but they’re not going to beat Freo in Perth anytime soon…and the budgies will likely improve over the three years of the deal.
Selling games rarely works out (points wise).
I hope it doesnt and I hope they fold and do something useful with Arden St
Like a waste to energy incinerator
Are the games both going to be vs WA teams?
ADD: Yep, just read the article.
Agreed
They will lose money having it played at Marvel v WA teams
Wouldn’t expect them to beat Freo regardless but would be still a good chance v WC
I don’t think it’s a bad deal at all, but i don’t get why north stubbornly refuse to relocate and prefer to live on life support. They have no money, no growth potential in North Melbourne, can’t attract players, yet they decide to stay in their little suburb, it’s nuts.
Surely the swans and lions are the template they should look at and try to emulate. Make yourself a power club instead of a tin rattler, sheer arrogance.
I just feel sorry for their five fans that go to games as they’ll have two less to watch in person now.
Least they have the women to follow, they’ve won more games this year than the men have in three seasons.
They haven’t even bothered doing a full rebrand. Perhaps it’s time to revisit their colours and refresh their marketability. Basically, do something different.
It is super frustrating when this happens
The AFL are using North to placate the WA sides over Gather Round
Hopefully this ends their on field assistance packages. When you are selling home games to WA sides and actively sabotaging your best chance to win games, then you really can’t complain about results on field. But then again the AFL are involved in that decision, aren’t they.
With a new railway station right outside their traditional stadium(???), surely they should return to Arden St.
Arden Street is just about the worst place to watch footy. Wide with zero elevation available, unless you climb a brick fence and sit on a water tank.
He comments on just about every little topic so he’s bound to eventually get something right.
