Opinion Commentary & Media VII

[Passmore]

Your son has mastered the art of taking the p!ss. He was 100% trolling you.

Either that or he has an enviable ability to block out horror.

 

[Lomas]

I guess it's kind of a hobbyhorse for you.

I actually appreciate the German approach you’ve taken there.

Who does the Shinboners podcast? Dont mind it, Hashtag and The Sginboners not bad listen..

 

[Jonnoo]

Further North is a decent podcast too

Gott in Himmel Lomas. Don’t remind me of the old days when I was working on SAP with a cohort of German developers. My only conversational German was the stuff I read in “Battler Britain” and similar WW2 action comics.

The club knew that when it decided to sack him and not just suspend him for the entire 2024 season. Quite a few of us were suggesting that he just be suspended for the year so that we could trade him or receive free agency compensation. In response, lots of people said no, no, that would send the wrong message, he should be sacked immediately. That's what the club did and we will pay a significant price for that decision.

Gezuz that’s ordinary by us then.

We have a good little NMFC podcast scene between that, Shinboner Podcast, North Pod and Hashtag Kangaroos.

Is that the one with marney? If so, hard pass.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure last week will be the only time in my life a NM podcast features on Media Watch.

Yep it is, not your cup of tea? I don’t mind the post game reviews which are quite detailed.

I assume he's barracked for North for a few years? We all have that ability now...

Bit of a generation gap. I’ve listened to a few of em, they make my ears bleed but good on all of em for trying to give content to north folk.

Anyone have the article Robbo wrote about Cornes in HS? Paywall.

Nope not subscribing to HS anytime soon.

 

[Gasometer]

Nope not subscribing to HS anytime soon.

Why not? I’ve read it all over the world at various locations.

The current news cycle is that Meta and anything associated with Meta is “bad”. I wonder why it’s taken 20 years to catch up. Oh wait a minu

Not really, if we suspended him we still get blowback for any crap he gets up to in the interim. The whole point of the exercise was to get some clean air from the whole debarcle.

Yeah I understand. Gunna be annoying watching him tear it up for another side on the back of “Culture” after we gave him everything and got nothin in return.

There was not going to be a bidding frenzy on TT if we simply suspended him and kept him on our list to trade. He might get one club willing to throw him a lifeline. But they would not be prepared to give up anything inside pick 40 for him because they know they can play hardball and wait for us to delist him.

 

[Masked Avenger]

The Club acted impeccably with TT.

Gave him a chance and threw support and services behind him.

When it became untenable, we moved swiftly and with transparency.

This group of young players will benefit from the clarity around standards.

 

[Devington]

it will absolutely ****ing hurt if he plays for another AFL team next year. It will hurt even ****ing worse because we will get no compensation for it. People saying it wouldn't be 'fair' are right, but that's just ****in' life aint it? Certainly doesn't change the fact that I 110% believe we made the right choice by cutting all ties with him as quickly and finally as possible.

Exactly. If a club picks him up, it's because he's free. The deal becomes more and more untenable if they have to spend picks to grab him.
