There will be outrage all week about how unfairly he is being officiated by the umpires….cue Ginnivan kicking 6 and getting free kicks every time he goes near the ball against North.
It’s an easy sell.

And affects the least amount of supporters and teams in contention.

Goldy was a loyal servant to the club for 17 years and routinely knocked back offers from other clubs, It really pisses me off to see people shitting on him.
If you haven't learned by now reading the Tristan, Will, LDU, Cam and Judas threads then {oh, scrub that last one.} I don't know what to say. Agree 100% with you cybercrab, yes Toddy left for a little more money and probably an extra year but I draw the line in having a go at him, 17 years and as you pointed out could have gone elsewhere but did he, no he did not, he stayed with us, what a loyal player this man has been for us as well as a champion ruckman! The bottom line is who cares where he has gone, we got the best out of him and he dserves some respect, but I guess in todays world that is so very hard to come by. Oh, by the way, he has!

The * player (who appears to be the only person on the ground who shows any concern) appears to be signalling for immediate assistance. If it was a rolled ankle (which it clearly wasn't) then I doubt an opposition player would be making a gesture like that shown in the image above. He obviously saw signs that had him worried - and good on him for is actions.

Even though its an Essendon player Darcy Parish just rose in my actions for what he did there, he was really concerned, fantastic to see, Darcy your mum would be so proud of you!

I find it a tough one. He was very loyal for a long time, and a great player to boot, but it's not like he was the perfect clubman. Going to Essendon is whatever, don't really care much beyond the memes, and I don't begrudge him leaving for more guaranteed years/games or whatever; that's all fine. But he has been taking a few not-so subtle jabs at us, it's disappointing no matter how you look at it.

Yeah, I hear what your saying, just maybe, he didn't want to go but he thought for the extra year, money and a coaching role after he's finished was to good to pass up and also thought why doesn't my club offer me that!
 
well, hawthorn lost at least

This year Hawthorn have played 617 minutes of football and spent 18 minutes of that in front (2.92% - 17mins v Ess & 1 min v Coll)
North Melbourne have played 507 minutes and have spent 82 minutes in front (16.17% - 66mins v Freo, 16mins v Carl)

Should be a ring-a-ding-dinger next week.

Agreed. On another angle, just watched the AFL round so far, with our special fan Kane Cornes. fair dinkum, if anybody is a follower in terms of issues, it would have to be Kane. In discussing the Liberatore incident, he's banging on about how we don't want to interfere with club doctor's assessments of concussion, because you know, they really love the players and they would never do anything to harm them.

Meanwhile Liam Picken is suing Bulldogs and the then medical team for withholding medical assessments of his head injuries.

Kane, try reading up on what's going on in the game

And does anyone really think that if Larkey spends quarter time today wagging his finger and arguing with Clarko - in the way Dixon did with Hinkley last night - that Kane would "love that exchange" and see it as a "mature, robust conversation"?

As I read this back to myself I can even hear Kane's voice saying it my head.

"Have a look at this vision. That's Nick Larkey, the only All-Australian on the North Melbourne list, shaking his finger and arguing with Alastair Clarkson at quarter time. That vision is embarrassing for Clarkson. He has clearly lost the respect of his playing group. You never see Joe Daniher doing that to Chris Fagan. Or Charlie Curnow to Michael Voss. Or Charlie Dixon to Ken Hinkley. Larkey is one of the leaders and is clearly frustrated with the coach, and Clarkson doesn't have any answers. It just shows where this club is at. That's embarrassing."
