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

[LuvtheKangas]

I honestly wouldn't notice if they did.

Did you notice when South Melbourne died? Or just take it with a soft little whimper like the majority of their 'supporters'?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I take it my clue didn't help? I'll give you another: The Huddle.

You're confusing me, griffo ...

... with someone who gives a **** about how it came about.

 

[jacko57]

How exactly was I arguing in favor of less sponsors?

With fewer Victorian clubs each team would have an easier time finding sponsors due to less competition from rival clubs. Please feel free to explain how that would be a bad thing.

So if North were to fold, Mazda would go knocking on the door at Hawthorn or the Bulldogs and say, 'Please take the sponsorship money we were investing at North?' Really???

Terrible troll. You've had half a dozen name changes and eight home grounds, not even counting Sydney, Canberra, Gold Coast or Tassie. Lulz.

Yeah, wrong. One relatively short term name change from North Melbourne FC to Kangaroos FC (mid 90's, I agree it was shit) back to North Melbourne FC five years ago and forever more.

There was once a team called South Melbourne FC. It died. Perhaps if they tried a few different innovations such as different venues for home games, it might still be alive. But it's not, it's dead.

No credibility, you don't even know your club's own history. Worst Hotham supporter ever.

South Melbourne pioneered different home venues to stay alive, if you were paying attention. The year the Swans moved to Sydney, North Melbourne had more list changes than the Swans, lulz again!

Never supported Hotham, just supported North Melbourne. Ancient history is for Melbourne and South Melbourne supporters. They have nothing else.

I went to the Lakeside Oval a couple of times, never saw South Melbourne anywhere else but there and Arden St. You're right, I wasn't paying attention because they were a nothing club anyway.

And hey, thanks for pointing out we had lots of list changes back then. How extraordinarily relevant!

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

 

[Northworth]

Real clubs? Like ones that double their debt as the quietly shove the president out the door a year early while the accounts staff steal $600k?

Or insert a decimal point to score a deal with the Bullflogs?

not that I'm 100% sure but I always thought they just changed because the suburb itself was renamed to north melbourne.

Smorgo has said publically since about 2009 he would continue until the end of his contract then hand over to someone else on the board if no-one else was interested in the role, but happy to go sooner if they were.

Or insert a decimal point to score a deal with the Bullflogs?

How much did we get from sponsors in 2011, and how much did you get from sponsors.

Put up or shut up Jacko, sick of your bullshit.

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.

Really? I must be able to see dead people.

No-one in the AFL will fold, nor should they

A relocation or two, now that is a different matter.

No, North Melbourne are still very much alive and it shits you to tears, because South Melbourne are dead as the dodo.

Your tears are yummy, by the way.

Haha, no, everyone knows that North Melbourne is still very much alive and it shits you to tears, because South Melbourne is dead as the dodo.

The AFL could start by relocating the Camries to Lygon St

And North Melbourne is as dead as the procoptodon goliah.

Comprehension fail, closely followed by attempt at cleverness fail. Here's the relevant fact again: everyone knows that North Melbourne is still very much alive.

 

[roosmad]

You're right - it's a damn shame we didn't play Norf on GF day or we would have won by 10 goals+ in a cakewalk.

Ah well, at least I got a good chuckle out of Boomer Harvey's farcical tribunal challenge. No doubt JB made the decision to fight the penalty himself.

I like the way you stayed away from not mentioning GRAND FINAL DAY flog.........

 

[roosmad]

You're claiming Norf has a future. That's a pretty big claim given the evidence to the contrary.

seriously have you and gogriff changed user names?!??!?!?!?!!??!!?

 

[the big lebowski]

Terrible troll. You've had half a dozen name changes and eight home grounds, not even counting Sydney, Canberra, Gold Coast or Tassie. Lulz.

Yet we remain North Melbourne, based at a redeveloped Arden St????????????

All South Melbourne supporters remain are bitter.

Poor post. Bosk didn't care that Hawthorn lost the GF. Happens all the time he reckons. Smashing North was much more important than another choke.

Nice mini-meltdown!
