Aren't the NRL setting up a Papua New Guinea team

PM gives clearest backing yet for a PNG-based Pasifika team in the NRL

‘Very keen’: Albo’s big call on PNG-based Pasifika team in the NRL

Maybe North could head there, AFL always wanted an overseas based side.

They can HTFU by shifting to the paramilitary side of it, get some iron into their diet.

I reckon Clarko realised that he wasn't a genius after all and decided that the North job was too hard, he's using this as a convenient out. Poor old Ratts gets a hospital handpass again.

Ratts didn't look in great shape when he was coaching us last year and we started losing badly, I hate to think how he will cope with coaching North.

The rest of the years fixture has been released. We've got plenty of Sunday games to enjoy..


Guess that's what happens when you play dour football

I'm already sick of all the Sunday games we've had to play this year. I was hoping we would get some more Friday night or Saturday games especially since we are a Top 8 team this year that looks like playing finals but I guess they don't trust us to keep that up after we dropped off so badly last year.

Nobody wants to watch North Melbourne, Hawthorn or West Coast.

The other two are Carlton and Richmond, both on FTA.

Melbourne and Geelong on primetime very decent

 

[jwikked]

As example if we were in that position, I'd love for us to try that and take remote and int market share where it comes s one thing that they'll have is space to move around in and people fawning to make it happen.

The moment they try and shift this club to somewhere trying to gain international market share is the day I don't spend another cent on the club. We are already in a similar position to North Melbourne, I don't understand how anyone could want to wish North to be merged or moved. It doesn't need to happen, and we shouldn't wish for it to happen.

Pretty sure Norf don't have 60k members don't have a set up as good as RSEA Park and don't sit in the top 8

Please don't compare them to us again

 

[Hayes4PM]

Clarko: Err yeah, it’s the Hawthorn saga, I must go now.

… because of, the Hawthorn saga…


Runs out to carpark

They also don't have a coach as good as Ross Lyon, in fact the coach they have now is the one we sacked to appoint him.

We need Thursday night footy something shocking

We need Thursday night footy something shocking

I was always against it but right now im sitting here watching the fox sleuth channel and would love some footy to watch
Id even watch ratts coach norf right about now

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Thursday night should be a thing all year imo.

Spot on. Saints supporters having a go at North are short-sighted and lacking in empathy. The forces ranged against them are the same as those against us. If they get shafted in some way then it just increases the spotlight on us.

And all the Jewish supporters

I think u need to be careful

 

[TheOsprey]

I think u need to be careful

Sammm, Sheezel is a Jewish kid and we have a lot of Jewish supporters.

There’s nothing wrong with what he said.

I’d imagine it would be great for a young Jewish kid to have him to look up to.

Get a grip. He said nothing negative about jews. Ridiculous comment.

 

[DougalHoward]

I think u need to be careful

Why St Kilda has a lot of Jewish supporters? Our president is Jewish, Mark Fine is Jewish, the late Michael Gudinski are some notable

 

[Remboy]

Thursday night should be a thing all year imo.

Pretty sure every week has a Thursday during the off season too.

 

[Diehard Saint]

That is some lowlife shitposting by MMM just there. What a slap in the face to North supporters. They are nowhere near Fitzroy and Fitzroy wasn't based on results. If it was the Saints were gone 100 years ago.

Absolute kent acts

Agree.
Really dancing on their grave at a time when the fans and the club have nothing at all to do with the saga.

As an aside, the AFL handling of this whole thing has been atrocious. Imagine dragging people through this for 8 months. Guilty or innocent, what they are putting all involved through is just reprehensible.

Is Bassat Jewish? I thought someone said he was Egyptian? I guess he could be both.

Was it the barefoot saga that did it?

 

[Diehard Saint]

True.

Having said that there are plenty of Jewish North supporters I know.
Sprinkled around all the clubs - Dees, Blues and Tigers, even the Pies have a fair amount too judging purely by the people I know.

But I’d certainly have a good Le Chaim ( cheers ) if he landed up at us anytime. Wishful thinking though, I fear.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Yes, Jewish.
Mother was a Holocaust survivor from Poland.
