No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

I was more thinking in an historical context. Surely in the 50s they trained at the MCG. It was solely their home ground at that point, and they won a decent number of premierships at that point.

Yup - they trained on the MCG up until the 80s. Dare say FJ was meaning we are the only club who currently play at a ground where they won the flag.

It is crazy that Melbourne train where they do. It's a dinky oval next to Punt Road and is completely exposed not to mention noisy as hell. Plus they'd have to sweep for dog crap prior to commencing training because it's a dog walking area most of the day.

Let’s just worry about us winning the last two games.

Agree. If we don’t win both games then we don’t deserve finals.

 

[grumbleguts]

North are an embarrassment.

James Hird to support Brendan McCartney at Port Melbourne in director of coaching role

VFL club Port Melbourne are expected to announce Brendan McCartney as senior coach on Monday, with football hall of famer James Hird to play a supporting role.

I genuinely don't get the footy world. Hird's previous foray into coaching yielded complete disaster. GWS underperformed while he was there. What about him screams out 'yeah let's give him another chance!'. The footy world's obsession for giving ****wits like him a go is beyond frustrating.

Also love that he couldn't take the head coaching gig because of his business interests. Interests such as running a managed investment which he isn't remotely qualified nor experienced to do. It's also one of the most bizarrely non-transparent managed investments I have ever come across. I feel for anyone stupid enough to have sunk money into it.

Just think how good they could be next year if Clarko gets his way and signs Luke Parker and Callan Ward though!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

North are an embarrassment.

They lack polish, their contested ball use is not the worst going around.

 

[toomanysquibs]

I really dislike Naughton, and I don’t even know why..

It makes no sense, but I'm with you on that.

Ostensibly he seems very likable. In practice he's somehow only a few pegs below Lynch as the key forward I dislike the most.

 

[grumbleguts]

They tackle like Nick Daicos.

 

[moginie]

So Comben misses next week and Larkey is hobbling.

"He plays for the bulldogs" is a good start,

 

[hawkheart]

North are an embarrassment.

They’ll be a juggernaut in 4-5 years

 

[HedgeFund]

Melbourne won their premiership in Perth though

So, the VFL years of 1897 to 1989 don’t exist?

 

[ralphwiggum]

Norf are so putrid. They better stay putrid next week

Norf gonna Norf

 

[moginie]

If they can't improve their hand and foot skills rapidly they won't.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

They’ll be a juggernaut in 4-5 years

People have been saying that about the Suns for years now. You can't draft a winning culture.

 

[TylerDurden]

Lol Norf.

 

[cryptor]

So Comben misses next week and Larkey is hobbling.

Sheezel might not get risked either.

 

[moginie]

That's Bergman probably done for next week.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Utter shellacking with alot of bruise free footy from Norf. If we half turn up to play it should be a comfortable win. Dogs aren't even at full throttle there's been no resistance.

 

[JoeHawk]

North are an embarrassment.

Cue is in the rack. Hope we can do the same as Bulldogs next week.

 

[Books]

Lol Norf.

It may be intentional.

North lose by enough to get pick 1... and they prevent us from overtaking the Dogs on percentage. Double bonus for Clarkson.

 

[badgrill]

FFS Eagles, you had one ****ing job

 

[badgrill]

Blues could easily jump over us
