He was a Dockers fan growing up so it's kinda expected? He pretty much HAD to re-sign at North considering the amount of shit he gave JHF for leaving. He backed himself into a corner on that one.

I never really liked Zurhaar.
Very typical Dockers fan.Freo fan.
'nuf said.
Those systemic handouts over the decades to keep Sydney propped up so the 'fans' there dont drop off if they had to properly rebuild these days standing out there.
The Essendon one is just beautiful, such consistent mediocrity.
We've earned our fair share of potting for sure, but who asked for a three year rolling analysis hot take off the back of a good win? He's just trying to protect and cuddle up to his Freo audience as they look to be finalists. No different to two seasons ago releasing a heap of merch to make money off those bath water drinking plebs when I think he knew as well as the rest of us that the weight of expectation would eventually fold them.
Thats what being at the 1992 GF absolutely felt like.We joined them and then we beat them.
What was the feeling of the general WA footy fan at the time??
Was it excitement and was everyone too foolish to see that join a bankrupt competition probably wasn’t the smartest move??
Was the WAFL already dying? I find it strange that fans didn't keep their WAFL clubs as well as support AFL.It could be described as a complete blindness to long-term ramifications, motivated simply by a parochial desire to get one over "the Vics".
The dire financial state of the VFL was barely even mentioned - it was not a consideration among the public at all. The consensus was that State of Origin had demonstrated that WA players were the best, and having a club of "our own" would somehow put an end to the poaching of local talent by Victoria.
The narrative was the west versus the rest - it would be state of origin every week, with the expectation that WA would finally get to show once-and-for-all that its way of football was superior to that from the east.
Nobody really bothered to care to ask the obvious about the WAFL, indeed any questions of it were seen as positioning oneself into the anti-WA camp - or even worse a Victorian sympathiser...
WAFL attendances fell by more than half within two years of West Coast entering the VFL.
I’m not sure this was known or not widely anyway. The VFL was hardly publicising that it was a basket case.The dire financial state of the VFL was barely even mentioned - it was not a consideration among the public at all.
Whats the over under on north getting the blowtorch for tanking like we did when we lost a close one last year?
Essendon maybe?

The very last clip is so damning from a North perspective.In case you folks haven't seen it, this from the shinboner might pique your interest. He's very good at what he does. https://theshinboner.com/2024/08/11...eback-north-melbourne-blundstone-arena/?amp=1
Reading that Oscar Allen was wandering forward all alone sounds exaggerated. Then you see the vision and you are absolutely right; it is damning.The very last clip is so damning from a North perspective.
Oscar was very clever. Meandered around aimlessly whilst Gaff was setting up so as not to attract attention and then bolted front & center with his back to Gaff as he was in the act of kicking. Timed it and played it perfectly.Reading that Oscar Allen was inside fifty wandering forward all alone sounds exaggerated. Then you see the vision and you are absolutely right. It is damning.
I have a greater appreciation for the phrase 'seeing is believing.'
Your description sounds like a shoplifter trying to look normal then bolting once the moment comes.Oscar was very clever. Meandered around aimlessly whilst Gaff was setting up so as not to attract attention and then bolted front & center with his back to Gaff as he was in the act of kicking.

Never thought shoplifter would be a word you have to worry about misspelling.Your description sounds like a shoplifter trying to look normal then bolting once the moment comes.
