Enough beating around the bush, do you want Norf to fold?

[jacko57]

They would have to increase it to obtain the exposure offered by real clubs.

So how much exposure do the Bulldogs offer their sponsors, relative to North?

Put up or shut up Griffy, I'm sick of your bullshit!!!

 

[jacko57]

You've claimed that South Melbourne died but all that happened was:

1. They changed home grounds, as North Melbourne has MANY MANY times
2. The changed names, as North Melbourne has MANY MANY times
3. The same team took the field with fewer changes than North Melbourne.

If South Melbourne died when the team moved to Sydney, North Melbourne is already dead.

Yeah, well argued.

Except the Swans also changed states. You may think it's a minor detail, but it ain't. South Melbourne/Sydney......no real difference?

And North Melbourne still have their admin/training base at Arden St, in North Melbourne, and play the majority of home games in Melbourne.

Funny how your team can be a success, yet you can still fail on Bay 13.

Nice mini-meltdown!

It's hilarious how he spends most of his waking hours trying to criticise North, but has these regular hissy fits when North supporters show him up for the clueless fool that he is.

The facts are South Melbourne are dead. They rolled over and didn't fight for their independence as a club. They have been a AFL franchise puppet love child located in Sydney ever since.

One thing you blokes are good at is putting up a fight. You've had to do it so often it has become second nature to you.

 

[Tippett2Goal]

I'll come out and say it, nothing of value would be lost if North Melbourne were to fold

Their club is one of only 2 in the history of the game to vote in favour of another club folding, and believe that this deserves to be repaid in full.
It would be sweet justice if after officially voting for another club to fold that North were to disappear (also big footy would benefit from some more realism)

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

I like North being in the AFL. There is no need for them to fold at the moment.

this comment is more accurate if you replace North Melbourne with sydney......

you only won a flag because the poos and wees choked...AFL pump more money into you guys than my team,why are membership numbers never released for sydney????? contrived and manipulated by VLAD and his boys.......
now if you can't make it in a city with only one team and some 4 million people, what hope do you have when GWS actually get their shit together.......

I take this as a compliment (realising, of course, that you were again trying to point out some failing of North). It's very gratifying that our club has fought against tremendous odds to achieve what it has. It's why we love North Melbourne.

It's also a major part of the reason you are so bitter with North. The team you switched allegiances to is shamefully lacking in fight and that softness must be so frustrating. From the outsider's point of view, it's a big part of why Footscray are not generally respected.

Please explain?

I know that North made the crucial vote in favour of Geelong staying in the VFL many years ago.

I know that Aylett (as VFL president) was culpable in South Melbourne's demise ; don't know if the club also voted for that, but if so, I doubt that 2 votes for and 10 against would have carried the result. Likewise when Fitzroy was 'merged' with Brisbane.

And more to the point, the support of Ron Casey and North was crucial in allowing Sydney to continue as a club after their abject business failure in the early years led to a vote on whether they would be wound up.

What a load of shit from a bitter South Melbourne supporter.

 

[the_interloper]

Yeah **** North, hope they're out of the comp within 5 years.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Yeah **** North, hope they're out of the comp within 5 years.

Even if North are accompanied out of the competition by 16 other teams, Richmond would still find a way to not win the premiership

I LOLd because I'm pretty sure you've been saying that for the last 10 years or more.

Yep, ever since your disgrace of a captain rooted the vice captain's wife, we need no part of that sort of bullshit in the AFL!

Rubbish.

Tell me. Which way did Sydney vote in the vote to remove Fitzroy from the AFL?

It would be sweet justice if after officially voting for another club to fold that North were to disappear

You'd better add another 14 clubs to that list in that case. Including your own.

Man I've seen some dumb posts on the Bay but this one takes the cake.

But, for the benefit of the more intelligent posters let me respond:
1.North Melbourne may have changed home grounds (which is the same as most other clubs as dictated by the AFL - see Hawthorn, Carlton, Essendon, Footscray, St Kilda, Collingwood, etc. etc. They have also played some home games at other grounds (like many clubs do). However our home has always been at Arden Street and that has not changed.
2.As already answered prior, we have changed from North to The Kangaroos once.
3.This comment is so stupid it doesn't even warrant a response.

Now take your blue pills, put you foil hat back on and go back to bed fool.

Better than the Doggies Griff, you blokes don'e even know how to do that...

The only way you blokes are likely to move up the ladder is by teams above you folding, which I assume is why you are batting so hard for these sorts of threads...

 

[Waynesworld]

Even if North weren't around Richmond would still finish 9th...

I can tell you were more upset by the way Carey used to root the Tigers' backline every single time we played your rabble throughout his career.

Yeah he always did strike me as the ****y kind the Duck. And let's be honest, Michael Gale, Paul Bulluss and Michael Laffy >>> Wayne Carey > John Longmire

If North weren't around your club would not be missed, unlike the Tiges.
