Is there a less exciting team right now than North Melbourne?

Getting back on topic : surely the least exciting team in the comp would be the one that just fell over the line against Richmond thanks to some dubious umpiring, and was captained by a girly hair-puller.
If you want to want to talk about poorly-performed teams - North Melbourne has made the finals more times in the last five years than Hawthorn has.

41000 to a game with a total of 1 win between them
16000 to a game with a team in finals contention.
I think North are deadly dull and everybody agrees. When your excitement machine is Leigh Harding then I am not surprised.

derp
the post was about tv figures, not on field
north melbourne has proven beyond all doubt that they cannot build a fanbase in spite of what happens on field
i hope you enjoyed posting on bigfooty, better luck with your next attempt

I'm here for the buffet
Hawthorn are shit and we have shit crowds. We do have something in common.
I admire the fact that a list with such little quality, besides the captain Harvey and a couple of youngsters, can keep grinding out respectable results but the facts are this team has such little X-Factor it isn't funny so it's little wonder they can't pull a crowd. (and if anybody suggests Daniel Wells I will seriously vomit... maybe for a couple of games in like 2004, but one of the biggest wasted talents in the AFL)
I also admire the fact that their small group of diehard supporters keep turning up week after week to support them, as they should, but far out... what could anybody possibly get even remotely excited about watching North Melbourne? They're like an ultra mediocre version of St Kilda...

You just described your own team. The Bombers are as boring as bat shit.
You don't want to talk about on-field stuff. No surprises there.
I read your blog post, by the way. Now there's some insightful analysis....
Probably still bitter over Laidley owning their beloved Sheedy too.
I'm sure Sheedy is devasted by this. 4 Premierships, 7 Grand Finals, 19 out of 26 years in the finals...
How many flags/Grand Final appearences did Laidley snare again in his 7 years at North? Oh yeah... none... only a few 15 goal finals losses... keep trying... Brent Harvey might lead you to flag number 5 sometime soon in front of about 17 of your supporters...
You forgot to add 2 one point loses in Preliminary finals because your mob was too shit scared to play North in the Granny.
You were definitely the better side in 1996 and would of defeated us pretty convincingly had that Grand Final eventuated, the fact we would of gone into that game injury depleted is irrelevant.
1999 - Carlton pulled one out of the box and yeah, it hurt considering we convincingly beat you twice during the H&A season... probably hurt as much as North's infamous second half capitulation to Adelaide in the 1998 Grand Final...
You got revenge for that in 1999. We got revenge in 2000 for our 1999 exit, defeating North with a record finals score and margin in the process.

we were dominant over a five year period and got two flags in the late 90s
you were dominant for three years 99-01 and got one premiership
none of this really matters though

Maybe but at least they have atmosphere at their games. Atmosphere is caused by things called "big crowds"

Kudos to Scott Thompson for providing us with what will most likely go down as Norf's biggest highlight of 2010.
Congratulations also to Brad Scott who is doing everything he can to bring scragging back into the game. This is sure to help footy shake the 'soft' tag it has acquired in recent years.
Keep up the good work boys!

Your lot were like the cowardly lion in the Wizard Of oz : 2000 was the year you finally found your ticker. Pity it only lasted the one year.
It`s happened 16 times jacko.

Just letting y'all know I've tipped Brisbane to get up this week.
Being a typical Aussie bloke I love to get behind an underdog, but Norf is starting to look very shaky after their insipid effort against Fremantle and the rumors that are starting to spread from Norf's coaching box that Brad Scott isn't up to AFL standard. (he was little more than a scragger in his playing days)
I just hope Norf can put up a fight for their handful of supporters who actually make the effort to rock up to the game. Sheesh, it's got to be pretty embarassing catching public transport to the game wearing one of those horrid blue & white scarves, you'd think their team could at least put in a 4 quarter effort to repay their fans' sacrificing their self-respect by barracking for such a dog of a club in the first place.
But instead, odds are they'll probably roll over as they did against Dockers.. it's a shame really.

Hard to argue with anything mentioned here
You do realise that the post you highlighted was a Hawks supporter bagging out North's colours??
Some things just ain't natural.
