Opinion Commentary & Media VII

One last thing to add. A priority pick? People think that means pick 1 or 2 like in the good old days. Not pick 30 something. That's what we gave up for Logue. The table nearly implies he was worth pick 8 and a 'priority pick'. Gees we did pay overs.

 

[Roo202]

I can't help it. What is Ben McKay on the list for? Was pick 21 a first rounder in 2015?

It was WC 1st rd pick, we traded our first rounder for Jed Anderson, then traded back in with Brisbane for Bastinac and change from memory. Pick started as 17, got pushed to 21 by academy picks, back before the draft was compromised

If you're a level-headed opposition fan who never watches us, you'd look at that list, scratch your head and wonder wtf happened. Player development? Culture? Or addicted to recycled top 10 picks despite red flags, prone to wearing rose-tinted father-son and academy pick glasses?

Until you realised that 6 (non-traded in) top 10 picks in a decade is bugger all.

Before the last couple of years, I used to sit and watch in envy as other teams picked the 5 or 6 young guns we had all heard so much about, whilst we had to wait a few more picks for our first, being the next tier down in terms of talent. Now that we've finally accessed that end of the draft, we're nailing it.

The problem is they won't look into it that deeply. The general footy public also need reminding how many other clubs have received PPs and how we've received SFA to date.

The other issues also need addressing.

The point is to fill a few more meaningless minutes for whoever disrespects themselves enough to watch this absolute rubbish

Yep, gave up watching footy shows a few years back.

Remember the days when we would win?..

Watch the reply a couple of times with a few more cans. (Watched the Zurhaar ‘King of Marvel’ game on loop that weekend).

Wake up on Monday, dance into work with a swagger.

Watch a few footy shows during the week just to hear the north-hating flog journos having to admit we go alright.

Nowadays it’s just a mixture of disbelief and numbness of how shit we’ve become..

Clarko about to be on SEN live from his presser. Dickbrain just said “we’ll break from the show to take Alastair Clarkson’s press conference live”, whenever that may be.

“About five minutes away” apparently.

Why are you making me listen to the Pipe? Although someone has just called up and referred to him as their "second favourite commentator behind Kellie Underwood", which is a lovely compliment... I think

Hey Shermy.

A tip. Keep drinking the cans and dancing into work with a swagger on Mondays.

Let them think WTF does he know that we don't about the NMFC?

Even after they see through your bs, at least you've had some cans.

Thank goodness for those cans.

Works for me.

So when there is talk of a priority pick all of a sudden we have no shortage of talent but the rest of the time the majority of these players are talked about negatively by a lot of media and oppo fans.

When you add in Corr at Pick 14 and Cunnington at pick 5 we've got plenty of top picks. Problem is, 1 is just starting to find his feet in a new club, 1 had cancer, 4 are very young, 1 has an ACL, 1 is scared of his own shadow, 1 threatens women, 1 is a dud, 1 is over rated, 1 wants out and 1 is a role player who the supporters hate.

When you compare the amount of top picks with Collingwood and Melbourne we stack up pretty well.

Well that made for depressing reading. Thanks Mav!

It’s all right, Viney and Clarko will sort it out.

Leaving Turner in the 22 this week and leaving Cunners and Powell out.

Is that the type of sorting it out you're talking about?

Mind boggling. How Stephenson gets a game ahead of Powell is beyond me.

Cunnington an absolute Champion of this club not playing while some Try hard in Turner plays in the AFL.
Forget asking about Priorities for players try getting priorities for administration and coaching members 1st so mistakes like Turner and others get weeded out .
I feel embarrassed to see the NMFC treat Cunnington like this and if Cunnington decides to retire and leave North and not return I would understand.

 

[DuckYeah]

Powell, Cunners, Laz, greenwood and co are contracted for next year.

Club is screaming out of “senior” people to stand up.

Season is ****ed.
