Not sure why Hutchy cops so much grief over his stance on North. His view is perfectly understandable. I don't see what Garry and Caro don't get about it.
"Jabba the Hutch" lol.Jabba the Hutch goes all Damian Barrett about being wrong, wrong, wrong about Norfs.
They played in a prelim last year and are every chance to get back again, but Hutchy's upset because a couple draftees aren't in the squad?
He has never said that they are a bad side, just that he doesn't think that they are good enough win a premiership with their list/team as constructed.
No team outside of the Top 4 has a list that can win a premiership. That's no reason to single out a team that's won finals in consecutive years.
Hutchy spends a lot of time in the States, what does he want them to do? Tank?
Was Hutchy against them bringing in Waite and maybe Higgins? Did he have a problem with Boomer playing on?
I can't remember/don't know the answer to those questions specifically.
But I am pretty sure he has said that it is his view that North have overestimated their position, i.e., they think they are closer to a premiership than they really are. Hutchy doesn't think that the recruitment of ready-made players like Waite and Higgins will ultimately pay off and help deliver them a premiership.
He is effectively saying that they are making up the numbers - they are a legitimate finals side, but not one, in his opinion, that can go all the way either this season or in the foreseeable future with the list as constructed. He'll either be proven right or wrong.
His view certainly does not deserve the vitriol and ridicule it attracts from an oddly defensive Garry and Caro.
Lyon just as bad as Hutchy, maybe even worse.
Garry "Pickets" LyonGarry will sit on the fence all the time, ...
Yeah, but I think you mean Slobbo.The best thing about Assified is no Throbbo.
Slobbo, The Throbbing Member?Yeah, but I think you mean Slobbo.
He is a dickhead so you might have a point there.Slobbo, The Throbbing Member?
Jabba the Hutch opens the second segment with [mock?] praise for his whipping buoys, the Roos.
No one really sinks the boot into Jabba's hindquarters over Norths making consecutive prelims - then Jabba says that he'll wait until after the weekend's game before he concedes that he was wrong. Nice one.
He also says that last week he admitted that he was wrong over Waite and Higgins joining the Roos. He did say that, but later, in full pig-headed genius/iconoclast mode, he also said that he stood by everything he'd ever said about Norths.
I hope this is the last show for the year, Norths are gonna get barbecued out west.
