Norf want another handout

[Hodgepodge]

Already the charity case of the AFL, and now they want more handouts so they can spend more money on their footy department.

How does Jim have the balls to ask for more money when they would've have the cash if they moved to the Gold Coast like they were told?

You made your bed, North. Time to lie in it.

Some clubs play for premierships......North play for handouts
We keep the receipts in the trophy cabinet.

Didn't you make an attention whore thread about retiring from the Bay a few days ago? Even Farnsy can last a few months before coming back you know.

Like a seagull at the beach looking for another chip, shameful

Huh?

Hawthorn paid their way out of debt.

Hawthorn forged a great deal with Metricon for Waverley.

Hawthorn took the risk with Tassie AND made it work.

Ian Dicker, our white knight, pumped God knows how much money into our club.

Norff on the other hand is still in debt with no foreseeable way out of it.

Norff signed up at Etihad, then realised the deal COST them money.

Norff tried the interstate thing a FAILED. Miserably.

JB spruiked about having 'White Knights' in his pocket - so far noone has ponied up anything more than loose change.

Stop f**king whinging, get off your arses and in the words of a Hawthorn great - DO something.

You think that's embarrassing, just listen to the proposed theme song set in place for this suppose merger.

^^^ wow..........my ears are bleeding, that is the most disgraceful theme song i've heard, nearly worse than Poort's. Even worse is the Melgone members voted YES!

 

[choo]

No it's not!!!!

 

[Steven Tyler]

THANK GOD us Hawk members voted NO to that merger!
Bloody Melbourne voted YES!
What a shocking song, trying to combine both theme songs into 1, stupid!

 

[Bosk]

Here is my response to Norf's request for more money

 

[tattooedswan]

Everything about North Melbourne is pathetic, from the promise this, promise that, deliver nothing president in Brayshaw to their greedy shit captain.

At least they had the sense to get rid of the shit brown. It's every heart beats true for the gold red and blue rather than gold brown red and blue.

Hard to believe people were seriously considering going ahead with that merger, it would have been a disaster.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Isn't Brayshaw now focussing his attention on Cricket Administration, having decided it is too hard to make Norf profitable?

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Is that Andrew Demetriou cleaning up again??

 

[Radical Roo]

That's right, and my advice to big club bosses, don't get too worked up and don't make too many enemies. Eddie has already got on the bad side of Sheedy and Brayshaw if he piss off the AFL, he might find himself in a spot of bother. His broadmeadows mentality does not work in the big league.

Nailed it in one.

Yup, its legit.

bahaha. "lets mash up two horrible songs into one!"

 

[SexyBlueGirl]

Brayshaw's alternate arrangement that instead of playing Norf, that we play only against the big clubs seems like a pretty good idea actually.

 

[morgoth]

So Brayshaw wants more prime TV time for his derelict club.

Lets assume the AFL allowed Norf to have more prime exposure. How much more money would they make at the gate and via sponsorship?

Compare this gain to the drop in AFL distribution that would result from the TV networks not paying as much. Norf are already being heavily equalised, they probably put the least money into the AFL coffers via revenue lines like TV rights and yet get the same.

Norfs problems stem from two fundamental problems:

1. The do not have enough supporters
2. They have no market

They appeal to no one.
