Hang in mate. If you don’t have the stomach to endure the bad times, you don’t deserve to enjoy it when we come good.
So accepting mediocrity for ages is the only way to be allowed to join in the celebration?
I rate that logic about par with Lmac’s field kicking.
There is no “when” we come good at this rate, do you understand that? North doesn’t operate or have expectations of itself at a level anywhere near AFL standard.
Getting all the high picks, not pushing or driving the players to the heights they should reach, or having a game plan that stands up (or a game plan at all) and then blaming Rawlings and Brad Scott is getting us nowhere.
Tapping the sign. Bigfooty is not the club.So accepting mediocrity for ages is the only way to be allowed to join in the celebration?

The meek shall inherit the EarthExcuses, excuses.
We've got them running scared
I don't get the rage quit thing. I've never once left early from a game or turned off a game early on TV.
Doesn't mean I don't get disappointed/frustrated but at the end of the day it's just a game of footy.
As for the game, would like to see Hardemann or Will Dawson get a run. Maybe even Finbar if Larkey is sore.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but there have been special circumstances at North since 2020 imo which make it more than understandable.I don't get the rage quit thing. I've never once left early from a game or turned off a game early on TV.

We've plunged to sustained lows reached by the Hawks and North in the early days, the Saints in the (very) early days and early-mid 80s, and Fitzroy in the 60s. That's about it in terms of teams who've matched what we've done. Even then, I'm pretty sure this current team were a hair's breadth from the worst 100-game run ever (excepting 1890s St Kilda, who are indeed in a league of their own) Week in, week out, incompetence, shitness and thrashings. People have run out of tolerance at times.
I suddenly ran out of tolerance in the Hawthorn game at Docklands last year. It'd been gradually wrung from me since they allowed crowds back. I'd watched bigger thrashings, but the weight of the shitness suddenly felt like too much. I had nothing left to give, and thought '**** spending my Sunday watching this bullshit.'
People like to pretend that spectating a sport is just that. It's not. It's an avenue for happiness, euphoria, unity, tribalism. When all of those positive emotions get replaced with a despair and hopelessness that lasts years, it's pretty understandable imo. You could accuse such people of caring too much if the despair permeates that deeply, but that's the way it is. I'm not gonna pretend I'm not addicted to this club
Bad luck for Greenwood, apart from that the changes look like the best we can do.
