Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

Surely if Damo thinks this, it means we go heavy on mids???

 

[King Corey]

He is. So why waste time listening to him?

Yeh have said this too.

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy.

My 4 part plan to deal with toxic media people:

1. Don't engage with their content
2. Refer Rule 1
3. If you must, don't quote or link to their content
4. If you must, refer to them only by name, no nicknames or endearing references

Typical Damo optimism. Absolute ****wit.

LISTEN: Time for Roos to make a statement, should they trade out pick 2?

I would ask "what does he say?" but I really don't care.

Dodgy arseholes always add in something reasonable to suck people in.

I dont like Barrett's views at the best of times as he just gives us a tough time no matter what but in all honestly listening to his latest take if we are all honest he is pretty spot on this time. Its hard to argue with what he says in this podcast when we have been poor for so long with minimum improvement over 5 years. His take on Hawthorn winning more games after round 5 this year than we have won over the last 5 years is damning and his stats on Clarko's last 85 games at North and Hawthorn is pretty bleak. Just sayin

I agree. While I’m very optimistic about:

• the quality we’ve added during this trade period
• a true second year (even though it’s third) for clarko to sink his teeth into
• another year into the likes of Wardlaw etc

… the fact remains that our culture has been poor, key people at our organisation have very low/minimal expectations of the team and standards around the place have run a distant second place behind everyone “feeling good about themselves” and just being happy to be there.

Even if we had 12 administrations in 5 years, as a North supporter I expect spirit, grit, never-say-die and belief.

The hawks stat is damning. We can’t defend that. If we’re even somewhat relevant as a proud organisation, that can’t be defended.

So Damo - punchable head, whiny voice he might have, negative Nancy naysayer he might be.. at this stage, he’s got a point

The Wreck-Em Ralphy specialty. Says a couple of nice things about your club, but sticks the knife in at any chance to suit the Richmond narrative..

Trade time he pushes the Rioli and Baker are worth 2 x first rounders each narrative to try to fleece GC and Freo but pick 2 is only worth a couple of late firsts going back the other way lol..

Do yourself a favour and don't listen to anything he says. You already know he is going to have nothing nice to say about us. I did that a year ago and it makes a difference not listening to his constant negativity.

I'd like to add a little twist to point 4. When referring to them by name make sure to use incorrect spelling;
Damian Barrett = Damien (this infuriates him)
Kane Cornes = Cane Kornes
Sam McClure = Sam MacClure
Marc McGowan = Mark
Mark Robinson = Marc
Caroline Wilson = Carolyn
Jon Ralph = John
And if they or anyone else corrects you, completely ignore it and keep spelling it incorrectly.

 

[koshari]

He is. So why waste time listening to him?

Precicely what i wont be doing, happy for someone to paraphrase him.

 

[koshari]

Well, all you had to do was ask...

Never ceases to amaze me how many aces you keep up your sleeve...


Now come and sort my docker server out.

My wife's hp laptop power supply crapped out so she commandeered the brick from my Home Assistant laptop. I was trying to get to grips with docker but I haven't turned the computer on for a good 18 months, even though she got a new laptop and she gave me the power brick back.

Can we pin this please mods?

Plus who’s leading the chase for ldu?

I sense the media are now winding up on going full bore to influencers LDU to leave North. We really need to show something early next season to withstand the upcoming onslaught.

 

[apollo_creed]

To be fair for any decent player at the club since 2020 the level of ineptitude and performances during that time would make any sane person question their loyalty. We absolutely have to show improvement next season otherwise no one could or should blame LDU for wanting to leave.

I think it'll be less what the media says and moreso what the team does that will decide.
