Opinion Commentary & Media VI

[Cool Kangas]

Honest to god I cannot fathom the level of boredom you all must be experiencing to actively choose to watch caro, kornes, whoever the f*ck else is on that show, talk about ANYTHING. Let alone spit drivel about our club.

Or is this like a masochism thing? I don't want to kink shame...

I find listening to Wilson, Barrett and Hutchison (and looking at them!!) like nails on a blackboard. shudder

 

[The acurate one]

I take extreme exception to Kornes sitting in the media having opinions.

Spud, I was once like you are now, but I learned what is really important in life. And out of all the things that I could list for you. The following wouldn't make the grade, what they think isn't important and you need to ignore it. I was privy to a covo had between Caro and one of her canines


1. Caro
2. Barrett
3.The Corn


Caro; ( ring ****en ring, ring)
Caro ( pick up the futhing phone for godsth sakeths)
The Corn; Sorry Caro I was watching a 'get me in the mood vid' with my wife
Caro; ohhh
Caro; whaths your poison?
Caro; My husband likes me to dress up and pretend ...
The Corn; stop it !!
Caro; ohhh
The Corn; if you must know it was a JHFF highlight package
Caro; ohhh
Caro; hope you lasted longer than the highlight package
Caro; ( snorts & LOLS)
The Corn ; that's not funny
Caro; ohhh
Caro; anyways its the best time of the year because we get to put in our season predictionths.
Caro; I've worded up Barrett and told him North lasth and JHFF to be all Austhtralian.
The Corn; Good and what did Barret say?
Caro; ( rolls eyes) Well he'th a futhing moron and he asked who is that?
The Corn; ohhh
Caro; Once I explained he once played for North, dopey Damian finally understood.
Caro; and for the icing on the cake , I'm putting Cadman down as the rookie of the year.
The Corn; who?
Caro; ohh futhing hell, he's the guy North could have taken but they wanted someone better.
Caro ( now ranting ) And that giveth me the shiths, how they could get two youngsterths and the best youngsterth without using the number 1 pick.
Caro; I tell you Corn ifth Poorth drop the ball and North geth another decent pick, thereth every chaneth they'll come good and thatths a futhing nightmare sthenario.
Caro; slams the phone down.

Enjoy the season Spud and watch the youngsters grow under the mighty al clarko

List of Brownlow Medal winners

Point yourself towards that list above, approximately half of the winners in the last 40 years have been called "small, fat, slow, unathletic" by blokes like you.

The game has change. Since 2014 there’s been only two under 185cm.

 

[SmallRoo]

His athleticism, physical dimensions and future upside are exactly the same as they were known to be when he was selected. Maybe he just isn't/wasn't the sort of player you like?

Club expectations for Will when we drafted him was that he was going to make an immediate contribution. Turns out that Charlie Lazaro had shown more than him in his first preseason. Both of them endured Covid the year before.

I’d say that North’s recruiters thought Will’s traits would translate sooner than they have. You’d expect a Rowell, contest to contest type specimen. Clearly not the case.

Are you drunk?

 

[SmallRoo]

Are you drunk?

And given that Charlie Lazzaro and Tom Powell debuted round 1 2021, what can we deduce?

Please and thank you.

not much?

 

[SmallRoo]

not much?

I’ll spell it out for you:
If
Will Phillips showed less then the other first years.
Then
that means that the other first years showed more.

In response to this muppet yes

Wow the same dude with his same shit takes about Will Phillips, I thought this was the commentary thread?

 

[barnrokn]

I take extreme exception to Kornes sitting in the media having opinions like this. I went to a lot of Port games in the 00’s/10’s when he was playing. I saw the tarps covering entire bays at Footy Park. I saw the Primus years first hand and how people supposedly on the same team turned on each other. They’re doing it now! Hinkley turned that club around and look how the fans are treating him.

I also saw North’s record vs Port for the first ten years of their existence. So maybe that has a bit to do with it. And further to that, how did our club cope when the chips were down, when we were training out of dog boxes and pigs like Caro were trying to destroy us? We galvanised. We got together. We supported each other. We made a prelim. We didn’t throw tarpaulins over our stadium and point fingers at each other and fall apart - we did what we had to do. I’m not going to suggest that he’s jealous by any stretch, but at the very least maybe he resents the way his own supposedly strong organisation dealt with adversity. And at various stages of that era, he wasn’t even good enough to make the team let alone show leadership and shine a torch in a dark time.

But I’m speculating. I don’t actually know what his problem is or why he feels he’s in any position to be arrogant against us and unlike him, I wouldn’t claim to know as fact.

But one thing he would know first hand as fact is what it is like to be in an organisation that is “cash-strapped”, he saw it at Port in years even worse than our darkest. But then he’ll harp on about history and tradition, but be the first in line to drum us out of town with all of our history and tradition.

He’s a hypocrite. One minute, he’ll call the McGoverns traitors, the same week he’ll happily have his photo taken with JHF who betrayed a club that took him in the draft. No issue there when it’s your own club, hey Kane? He’s biased and unprofessional.

Then he’ll kick us for being unprofessional in the support we gave Jason. Without a thread of proof, he’ll run with it knowing as much about the CCJ situation as indeed we did about Tarryn Thomas. And of course we weren’t great. That’s why we got the number 1 pick! Where’s his hate for all of the other clubs that have finished last and not been the best environment for a young player? For the first time in our history, god forbid, we finish last and get a high pick. So what?

All that said however, the last few minutes of that interview with Demetriou absolutely takes the cake. Handouts? “Yeah St Kilda at $25 million”, says Demetriou.
“But we’re not talking about them”, says Kane, steering it back to North, where he can’t give a millimetre of credit even when he’s hit with the facts. You can almost hear the saliva frothing from his inbred mouth as he can’t wait to talk about North again.

According to him, we’d be doing better now if we took the offer, threw away all of our history and went to the most un-football (un-sporting!) city in the country. Since that time, we’ve made finals half a dozen times, two prelims, not only debt free but turning a profit and building more facilities, record membership despite finishing last and we’ve signed the coach we wanted…

…yet all this failed fireman, who played to the sound of boos, surrounded by tarps, for an organisation that was leaking money by the millions can do is point limply and say we’ve “sacked a million coaches”. An obvious exaggeration but not even loosely based on truth. We had Scott for as long as anyone’s ever had a coach without winning a flag. Things didn’t work out with Shaw, but that’s not on us is it? And Noble was never a long term solution. It got so bad that we had to make a decision. Imagine the media wrath of we didn’t?? And time will tell, but I believe we made the right one. We waited, played our cards well, and got our guy. Where’s the credit?

And besides - wtf have Gold Coast done in this time? Still looking at 12th as a pass-mark despite EVERYTHING they’ve been gifted??

We don’t have to justify ourselves to anyone, LEAST of all this absolute cretin. Go F*** yourself Kane. I’d say “even your own club has turned on you”, but that’s obvious and very common at Alberton anyway, despite your multiple B&Fs. But in this I don’t blame them. You’re a d!ck.

Nothing special as a footballer. Very average as a journalist. Even worse as a human being; Kane is the private school idiot in a straw hat who takes the easy path set for him, yells insults at the bigger kid down the hall, and would get beaten to a pulp if caught so stays near his parents when school is out.

I’ll enjoy the season however I needed to articulate somewhere, and where better than here, how much of an absolute disgrace Kane Cornes is.

I won’t harp on it. I just had to put it all somewhere.

Like Caro, I can’t let this stuff go unchecked and I will keep defending this club. Especially when it’s against liars like Caro and Kornes.
These people are paid well to comment on the game and need to be held accountable - going for half-arsed lies as stories is not journalism and nobody should tolerate it.

 

[DunderHead]

I think you need a bigger sample size. You might be right, but he hasn’t had a decent run of games yet. Hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Bring back the clown Caro. Every page again. This is not journalism, this is biased, vindictive opinion. Nothing more.

IF ...​

Brad Scott thought his previous club was a rabble, and it most certainly was when he exited it in 2019 ...

Old mate Barrett's at it again having a crack at * but can't help himself potting North.....Is or has there ever been any evidence to suggest Brad Scott thought that while he was at North? And what evidence is there of being a rabble in 2019 not publicly anyway. It all hit the fan in 2020. . Grubby little man.

Hmmm, Damo if we were a rabble in 2019 then that would mean Scott created it. I somehow doubt that Scott thinks that.

IF... Brad Scott thought the club (that he had a greater influence over than any other person at the time) was a rabble
THEN... he would have to take responsibility for it becoming so.

Damo didn't at the time either. Thought we were stupid sacking Scott and probably feels justified thinking it.

That polo Clarko is wearing is atrocious. Why even worry about a polo design if a three year old looks like they’ve just slapped some advertisement stickers all over it?

Agree. Looks 2 sizes too big and faded & baggy from being through the wash a squillion times.

IF...North were a bit of a rabble in 2010 when Brad Scott arrived
THEN...North were an absolute monster sized rabble by the time Brad Scott left. And he didn't achieve all that much in between.
