Good Friday v Carlton, "Lock it in"

[Ted]

http://www.nmfc.com.au/news/2014-04-17/the-good-friday-debate

I like it how Chelsea's last line, "I believe the players themselves actually welcome this day away from football", is directly followed by "North Melbourne will hold a Good Friday training session at Arden Street from 11.30am"

If we get the game I'll most likely stay at home, record it on Foxtel and watch it on Saturday. As a member North already have my money so no need to go except to barrack for them but 1 game shouldn't matter.......

I don't think Jesus would be happy with your attitude. If he'd spent Good Friday sitting around at home doing nothing we wouldn't have Easter to celebrate.

Ha Ha, thank you Father Ted.

Keenan Reynolds was a big pre season signing if IIRC...

"North keen on Reynolds"

I'd like to upload two newspaper articles from the Herald Sun. 'Good Friday Push' by Geoff Poulter 3/11/96 and 'Time to allow football on Good Friday' Mike Sheahan 14/11/96. I scanned these articles, however I'm not technically gifted or / and my computer can't upload them into a Bigfooty post. If someone help great, if not that's ok.

Personal opinion but it's time to shup up about Good Friday Football.

We are starting to sound really desperate.

Yeah fair point, Good Friday football isn't going to make or break us.

Would be nice though, just peeps have had enough of certain Club officials and media clowns.

The thing that pisses me off is arseclowns like Eddie McFivechins bangs on about how he rolled up his sleeves and personally saved the Collingwood Football Club, and that all the struggling clubs have to do is use a little ingenuity and creativity to maximise their potential. But it's situations like this that proves there is absolutely no benefit in trying. May as well let Collingwood and * do all the heavy lifting to build AFL coffers, then everyone else just queues up for food stamps.

Gee, let's just not say anything and watch other clubs claim they're taking our initiative while we lay down like pathetic dogs.

We've well and truly made our point, now it's time to move on.

Thanks grimface_87 for the IT lesson

JB to face the media soon ... this'll be interesting.

Despite being a Catholic I would say Good Friday is by far the most boring day of the year.

No (decent) sport, hardly anything open, and if weather is no good like here it's just a non-event.

So despite it being a 'holy' day for many, i'm all for Good Friday footy as surely life doesn't stop for religious reasons.

And if anyone gets the game before us if it were to happen, it would be just plain wrong and inappropriate. So considering that, I think the AFL will schedule Hawks v Carlton.

Interesting to hear Vlad the Relocator on the wireless this morning. he said just because clubs have been asking for a Food Friday game for 15 or 20 years it doesn't give them the rights to the day. Said the AFL has not decided and hasn't even discussed it (thats crap). Sounded a bit over the media chat.

Mmmmmm. Food Friday.

Starting to become jaded already.

Sounding more than likely that the AFL is about to crucify North on Good Friday & resurrect us on the graveyard shift of Easter Sunday arvo.

 

[The Ardent Army]

Get stuffed AFL
We pioneered everything - give us something in acknowledgement for that

That said - if we want the game then we should go to the AfL with a fully organised proposal for the match, sponsorships, donation strategy etc. Lock in all of the arrangements on an exclusive basis. Get the charities to pledge their support to our concept. Make it too hard to say no.

 

[scottywiper]

Thanks christ I watched that, I didn't realise that we only existed due to the generosity of big-hearted benefactors like Fat Ed and the Pies.
The condescension is breathtaking...the smug smile on Eddie's face needs to be removed tomorrow.

Given Collingwood's lack of premiership success in my lifetime - I would say they are an embarrassment of riches.

Still transitioning from the VFL to the AFL

As a Carlton supporter I would rather play the GF game with North Melbourne and give up the opening game against Richmond. Essendon and Collingwood can piss off since they already monopolize the ANZAC day clash.

They screwed us for years with Friday night football, they'll screw us over with this, just so little Eddie can sleep nice and well in his mansion the fat tub of insignificant, foul, nasty, unpleasant, repulsive, dishonourable, depraved, debased, shameful, despicable tub of lard. He and his toothless mates can bugger off, while he thinks the small clubs are insignificant, guess what eddie most people find you insignificant and an obnoxious w**ker. End of rant
