Blokes a legend. Filter is off. Liked him when he played with us like him even more now. Keep up the great work basti

You just know that Basti hasn't waited for weed to be legalised.

Unfortunately, he is a premiership player.

Jeez, we’re losing out to him at every turn. Make it stop, Euge!

Shoulda coulda woulda

Until we start consistently winning these media types see us as fair game

And then when we are consistently winning it will be something else

Yep - just like with Tarryn - only the players themselves can sort this out. With the help of Clarko…

Has a “Sadomasochism” thread ever been created on this board? Perhaps, it’s time for one…

Almost certainly I'm biased due to my age and how my team went at the time, but I think that the mid-90s was just about the best time to watch AFL football. To beat the other mob, your weapons went head to head with their weapons, you'd back yours in but if they got hold of you then fair play to them and it was a good show to watch. Pretty soon you beat the other mob by role-players just taking their weapons away in a strategic slog. In the 90s, players were navigating their way into becoming full-time professionals and the game was in equal measures raw and polished. The balance between attack and defence was more even too.

Maybe we could have won another flag, maybe not. But that North was the best team during the best era of footy is something I'm pretty proud of.

North Melbourne of 1993 was intoxicating. Well maybe because I was intoxicated most games….

The footy was pure. I’d get along to other games on a Saturday if we’d played Friday night. A few cans on the terraces , so many good players. Was awesome and I wouldn’t swap it.

The more years pass, the more I yearn for that time. Lucky to be in my mid 20s during that era, but too young to appreciate the 70s.

North fans in their 20s in the 70s, and 40s in the 90s hit the jackpot.

Probably better for your sense of realness to be a North fan in your 20s, than to be in your 30s and having your expectations set unsustainably high when you were a child.

Haha yeah. In saying that, being a north fan in the 90s was ****ing awesome.

When you start supporting North during the Carey years, it’s a bit like losing your virginity with the hottest girl/guy you’re ever going to meet.

Two decades on, I’m still getting over it.

Jarrod Waite was the only real excitement in the last 20 years.

Suppose the frank the tank was a nice cameo as well.

Swanny is a paid up NMFC member and refers to us as “we”?

I’ll admit he snuck that one by me
