Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

I don’t really understand what he is saying though.

‘No excuses for this match or the next 22’ - does this mean we have to win 23 matches? Or if we get any injuries we’re not allowed to talk about them because that’d be an excuse?

More tough sounding sound bites with very little substance underneath. Pretty typical of his column really.

Fair enough but my take of what he meant

1) considering their outs, it’s a game we should win or at worst narrowly lose
2) no rubbish in the weeks that follow or at least few and far between games of embarassment

We deserve the heat. 6 wins over the past two seasons with a list that has no excuses not to show obvious and measurable signs of improvement.

I don’t to see this supporter base excusing rubbish anymore. This season really matters.

LOL. I know the feeling.

You and I mr ferbs could sit down and have a beer any ****in day

I genuinely love it. I initially paid interest via the player sponsorship but it has been a revelation.

Edit: I would say that my love is more team focused in the AFLW, I don't watch as many non North games as I would in the mens.

I only really watch our girls, and the journey has been pretty awesome. There are maybe three teams in the W that aren't a rabble - and that's to be expected in such a young league still churning through its earliest generations - but I can assure the haters that there are fates out there much worse than watching a strong and organised North team bully a bunch of basketcases on the weekly.

 

[DuckYeah]

A solid labour man - in the traditional sense. Am i right? You remind me of my brother-in-law, who is/was a great union man.

Just picked up on it. Labor, we aren’t English

Tell us more about your love for AFLW

I forgot

Where did I ever say women dont deserve equal opportunity? I think the game is unwatchable and I have listed why I believe so. Just to refresh your memory, because you have so many ****ing rainbows and shit running through your brain..

The VFL started with how many teams? For how many years?

How long did it take for the VFL to create a competitive structure?

Have I been on here saying the AFLW should be an 8 team competition for the simple fact its far too premature and a few generations shy of an actual competition? The talent stretch is far too wide.. there are far too many Irish imports and is not enough home grown talent that could run out a game of womens footy.

AFLW is a good idea, ITS NOT READY YET.

That is not a right wing perspective, **** head. Thats an analytical approach to a progressive movement.

The rest is being a passionate North man knowing we are missing key punitive sports shit as a compromise to speeding up womens footy when NORTH went and bought a ****in womens flag.. which has no difference to when every muppet on here whinges in regard to Geelong.

So GAGF’d..

I’ll fight for the left, I’ll pull my 308 and my ol 3030 out and fight for our rights! Go raise a rainbow flag and see how you go, you spineless sea horse that buys the sun

And for what its worth, our flag is about as relevant as * running around saying they won 6 flags when there was 4 teams in the comp.

Its not an elite sports competitions arseh*le and in a progressive mind, is rather disrespectful to womens elite sport.

C'mon Gerard, just try and rub a couple brain cells together mate.

SEN wipes AFL great's 'black men can't swim' on-air joke from internet

Gerard Healy's remarks went directly to air and have been verified by Crikey, despite having been edited out of the podcast version of the show.

This is wild given the stance on Lalor. Hutch a true p.o.s. Free Palestine!

Better not log on tomorrow if we lose, the club apologists will be out in force. Larkey, Simpkin, warm weather etc.

It's up to the players to get the job done not the supporters.

Nah, if the team lose its our fault and these posters are right to blame us.

Giving brady a pass?

Unlike others I want to see us win more than three games a year.

If you want to be angry at the team when we lose that's fine but taking it on supporters who are just looking for something positive is a bit sad imo.

We all want to see that.

Its ludicrous you think otherwise.

Quick question. Is Hamish ‘Hammer’ McLachlan the worst commentator currently on air?

Matthew Richardson is a major competitor.

I think the point is supporters who desperately sing positives when we lose by 80 points or lose our 10th game in a row.

In the context of tomorrow their midfield is significantly weakened as is their attack. A poor performance and result (if it happens) should be met with no positivity. The time for that is over. We have been terrible for a long time and last year when there should’ve been obvious improvement was a massive disappointment.

The supporters of the club deserve more than the shit they’ve been served up for years.

He's a sandwich short of a picnic so I give him an out.

What they do is none of your business.

Deal with it in your own way.

Yes we do, but after we sacked all those players in 2020 anyone who didn't steel themselves for this sort of thing was foolish. Unless everything went perfectly this is what was gonna happen.

I nod solemnly!!! Yep.. we can lose but we’d need to have 8 injuries

Nope. No one expected last season to turn out like it did. And no one expected the club to get significantly worse after Noble’s first season. The expectations amongst supporters were nothing resembling what was to come over the next 3 years.

Additionally, the club very obviously ****ed up in 2020. The fact we are the worst team in modern history over a four or five year stretch should attest to that for anyone being realistic and not forming their opinions solely to defend Brady Rawlings.

So in other words stop being deceptive and acting like this was expected.

I know why… letting partners, wives and girlfriends into the hub.. thats what destroyed the balance and culture

You're right, the problems popped up overnight and were in no way a manifestation of historical underinvestment in football ops from low revenue/managing debt load meeting a black swan event. Between this, your rubbish/unhinged/factually incorrect AFLW posting and defense of Tarryn you are clearly just a pig of a thing.

You can claim left/progressive all you like but I just think you're too stupid to be able to actually self-reflect. It is abundantly clear to anyone who has a familiarity with internal workings at the club that you have no idea what you're talking about, which is both ironic and enjoyable considering you have made it clear you wished club personnel took notice of your posting

 

[Hatchy1992]

JB just suggested if they're going to continue with opening round, they need to open it up to everyone and have the focus on Thursday and Friday night in the Northern states but have the focus around the entire country. That's something I could get behind.

 

[Passmore]

So we're still running with the narrative it's a few random, anonymous, internet posters who hold the fate of the club in their hands?
