I had to stop reading. The incidences of nepotism/favouritism/calculated banishment got so densely packed that it became genuinely exhausting to push through. Beacons of integrity, they are not. Real shame it isn't more well-known

Wardlaw 3/4, Phillips 1/4 sounds about right

We would need to allow them to have blinders. I'll make an exception for someone like Vandermeer to kick 4 goals, but around the ground, the level of resistance we offer will likely dictate how easy they find it. This is gonna sound like a clunky analogy but we have all of the icing and none of...

You John. Big Tree.

I know, but I'll enjoy positive moments when we (infrequently) have them and I won't bang on about anything negative aside from our W/L record, which overshadows everything. Duck seems to extract nothing but pain and misery, and maybe a touch of masochist pleasure, from his support. At that...

I'd like to ask you a question. What do you actually enjoy about current-day North

And it makes it all the more ridiculous that Patch, the coaches and the players can't gel to form some sort of cohesive, effective unit in there. Hawthorn with that midfield would hardly concede a clearance. All opposition scores would have to come from defensive chains or turnovers, and the...

Yep, that's the sole other bit of the film that gets any airtime. Two famous moments ain't bad, but for a film like that, we need more. More, dammit

I can see our lads starting slowly, as they inexplicably and totally unjustifiably rock up expecting the job to be simple, then getting a rocket up the arse at around HT, then launching a comeback which showcases all the best elements of a young, exciting rebuilding team, then falling in the...

Still a great opportunity to make your less directionally-gifted acquaintances look like absolute muppets, though. I know that many people who wouldn't know how to make a simple suburb-suburb commute. Meanwhile, if someone travels with me, my borderline autism holds me in damn good stead

It's turned three times now. A fourth turn and we'll be back exactly where we started :/

Reckon Stephens had his best quarters last year at Docklands. I actually watched the last quarter of the Melbourne game back last night and he was ****ing everywhere. Some great decisions, too. It was probably the remaining three where he was found wanting, though he wouldn't have been alone in...

There is a St Kilda shaped asterisk over that offer though

The best gag in that film (or one of em) was when the pilot, sifting through the whacking material magazine in the airport, is paged for a call on the white courtesy phone, but for whatever reason picks up the red phone. Then the voice of the announcer who paged him comes through the set...

There is not a team in the league where he'd be 4th or 5th banana

Another masterclass from AFL HQ

**** me, the days since the Fan Day have dragged. Are we able to fast forward to next Saturday at 7:34pm? And then reserve the right to fast forward from there to 11pm?

Yeah let's not go into that game. I still haven't forgiven the Sydney fan who relived the last few minutes in a packed carriage at full volume on the journey home, skewering all neighbouring North fans' attempts to grieve in peace. Prick.

That karmic/cosmic/airy-fairy/earthly essence, whatever you want to call it, comes around more often than not. Less than Liverpool deserve after Courtois' hijinks in 2022

Faintly amusing to me that that 'best game to date' was his debut

Dylan Stephens already plays with him though

Arguably the least likely player on the list to suffer from that affliction. I'm not sure what criteria you use to pick the blokes you like and the ones you don't, but it gets a bit strange sometimes. He has confidence coming out of his ears. And, importantly, maintains that confidence even when...

I'll hold my hand up in shame there. Can't keep track of who's relentlessly optimistic and who isn't. What Arthur just said has been said here, sincerely, before

I think 'most talented of the lot' as he's coming off his second ACL, in a team with Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher, FOS, even Duursma, is probably a bit wishful. We can't pretend that injuries don't impact career trajectories

I genuinely feel like I'm going crazy here lol. Yes, an extra three wins would be huge for a competitive beast like him. Shocked the lack of an extra extension is even being questioned. Not every player is as blindly, manically loyal as the fans. It's extremely understandable to hold off...

We don't have any other best 22 members whose number of years at the club is larger than his win total. It's literally nightmarish

If you can't see the difference between having won a single game in your first two years vs a smattering of wins each year throughout your career, I can't help you

He's won one game in his career lol. I wouldn't be extending further than 2026 off the back of that

Disagree, tbh. They've punched down for years. They'll try to do it again, even with a decimated team. It's in their DNA. If the team make it hard-ish for them to do it by doing all the unfashionable stuff that the team demonstrably dislikes, the outcome of the game will be more in our hands...

23rd for him is batshit. Two players demonstrably better than him at his own club, and another who's arguable. He carries a huge load and plays pretty intelligently, but bloody hell
