Never forget.

****en hell, who opened the vault and let you out?

 

[darko]

Is there any retired AFL player that cares more about their former club than Arch? Definitely NOT. We all should be so greatful for what he has done for our great club.

Hird :stern look

 

[Roosurgence]

I still remember that night at Dallas Brooks Hall and sound when James told everyone we had rejected the AFL’s offer.

I also remember the Patrick’s a w***er chant very fondly as well lol

It certainly puts everything into perspective when we are bitching and moaning about a poor performance, how lucky we are to still have our great club.

As members we should be so grateful to the everyone that put in blood, sweat and tears to keep our club alive, so we can rock up on a weekend and watch the boys play. It also means my kids get to enjoy what I have for the best part of 40 years.

On Fox again now...

The Other Dean just want to say an individual thanks, mate. I spoke to you by PM a lot at the time and you literally put your life on hold. Cool as **** getting called a “real nut bag” by one of the most nuts people in the entertainment industry, but I just feel like a is in order here, too.

Well said mate, he thoroughly deserves the shout out.

Yep, still on the couch and very unlikely to move for another hour...

Always enjoy new posters on this forum. Welcome Aboard. :stern look

 

[scottywiper]

Just noticed in the footage of Arch coming off after last game. Port players clapping, with the notable exception of Chad Cornes, with hands on hips ...

 

[Zondor]

Nice work by the "Burger" in his duties as Narrator. :stern look

 

[RoyalBlue]

Yep.

Kind of felt like the fight started at the end of the '07 season and ran until Dallas Brooks Hall, when it had been going on for a hell of a long time longer than that behind the scenes. It was brewing since 06, with Duff and his merry band of campaigners.

And I'm not overly comfortable with Mark Brayshaw, who essentially turned down the GC because the numbers didn't add up. I couldn't have given a **** if they were offering us eleventy billion dollars in unmarked bills, you shouldn't even need to consider it. Needed more of his retrospective membership.

Get a Ron Joseph statue at Arden Street. 100 foot high. Smoking a durrie.

F me dead the Mark Bradshaw retrospective memberships!

Remember the ‘nostril above water’ quote? You can see why the AFL was certain they had him.

It was a really tough time to be a fan. We were getting smashed from every angle and getting smashed from within.

Heath makes a great point in the radio interview - playing games interstate for years and ****ing with the name - had made fans complacent and disengaged. We were ripe for the picking.

Thanks for holding up that sign well before anyone was properly talking about this Arden. You were the canary in the coal mine in a lot of ways.

It was quite amusing as well reading the Roosistence Gig thread written by TOD and when he was called up on stage for his moment in the sun he was in the pisser having a slash and totally missed it!!!

You should post here more often.

Exactly RB. I'll never forget the time Arden rammed a Lobster up the Duffman's Clacker. The Duffman soon got it. :stern look

Wasn't Mark Brayshaw working for Stephen Head (one of the relocationist board members) at the time?

What is the "Job" upto these days? :stern look

 

[hilly]

Great to see some of our posters from 2007 have made a triumphant return.

Last I heard he was property developing on the Gold Coast.

Thanks for all the feedback on the doco. Tomorrow we will post it on the website with a full credits sequence.

I'm aware that so many people on this board contributed in so many different ways and although it was hard to squeeze everything into such a small amount of time, i've tried to give credit where credit is due on radio - especially to the BigFooty crew. I hope the doco conveyed the fact that it wasn't just one person who saved the club, it was everyone ...all of us .... if the members didn't rise up, JB would not have succeeded etc.

I've always admired the passion of the people on BigFooty, and although I don't always agree with what's said here, I respect you all have an opinion and care enough about North to voice it.

Bloody well done by you and Ange mate. Loved it! It brought the memories and emotions flooding back big time. Bravo!

Bit inappropriate man.

Fixed mate.

Half of BF is in that pic, as well as other screen shots. Speaking of 2007 returnees, where the hell is The Zebra (who I'm standing alongside in that pic)?

Exactly RB. I'll never forget the time Arden rammed a Lobster up the Duffman's Clacker. The Duffman soon got it. :stern look

Yes indeedy and I believe I was the sole witness to said historic moment with the Lobster being rammed up Duff's date!

 

[Kangayroo]

Got fired up reading the opening words at the start of the show. Passion. Was a blubbering mess by the end. Pride.
Thank you to the makers of this documentary for not only proving the true believers right but showcasing those proud and passionate whose contributions both in spirit and strength ensured our Arden Street remains home.

 

[Zondor]

Anyways disappointed that Rick Aylett's "Time Will Tell" comment didn't get a run because I think it is fair to say that time has told. And that is we will forever be North Melbourne. :stern look

To honour your return from the wilderness RB, a re-posting of your POTMillenium.

 

[tazaa]

2007 itself was just as important a year on field for our survival.
Boomer had his best ever year. Spud played as an undersized full back when Hay retired.
Arch went around one last time and Drew stood up in the absence of Thommo.
Those 4 will always be remembered fondly for their onfield heroics as playing those 2 finals at the G - it stirred the passion even more that Melbourne is our home and we werent going anywhere.
If we had a year like 2006 I reckon we were in strife.

I still have a good laugh over that post. Kudos RB for the 69th time. :stern look

 

[FloozyRoozy]

Brought tears to me eyes and made me so proud to be a member of this mighty club! We will continue to go from strength to strength.

It's a horrible thing to consider, but yea, what if we really fell off the cliff in 07 on field?
