North Discussion on AFL 360

[QueenslandRoo]

AFL 360 gave a good deal of time to North Melbourne's off-field issues. Key points agreed upon were:

• Off-the-record, AFL officials are (and have been) concerned about the state of North and the performance of the board. Everyone in the media knows this.
• James Brayshaw is not good with people and needs to dramatically address the way he interacts with others if he is to be successful
• North need a chairman who gets things done and, to date, Brayshaw hasn't evidenced enough of that "can do" mentality.
• The approach to Brian Cook, dismissed as a joke by AD, must have had SOME seriousness behind it. Why even joke about it if it's not in the AFL's thoughts or if the state of North is not a concern?

Sounds like a load of defecation.

Piss funny.

Mark Robinson must have suffered a traumatic brain injury.

That is the only reason that can explain his stupidity.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Kingy was doing brilliantly, agreed with everything he said til he opened his F***ing gob and sprouted his Gold Coast agenda again.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Amazes me that everyone in the media knew that the AFL officials were concerned about the state of the club, but none of these journos wrote a story about this, Caro included, laughable, I call bullshit.

Continued conversation on AFL 360 amongst panellists:
(Don't shoot me ... i'm just reporting what was said for those who don't have Fox Footy)

• Kangaroos are lacking pride
• Too much focus on Wells and Harvey. The time has come for the next wave of players to go past them. They have new leaders who need to lead.
• When do the Roos stop talking about being a young side and step up?
• 12 of the 22 who played Saturday have played less than 50 games. But you don't have to have experience or talent to chase and apply yourself
• The Roos were lucky Buddy kicked 13 because it took the focus off how bad North were
• David King: "I fear we've knocked back this marvellous opportunity to go North and my fear is the next opportunity is not going to be anywhere near as good when it comes"

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Too much focus on Wells and Harvey. The time has come for the next wave of players to go past them. They have new leaders who need to lead.

Was actually in reference to players focused on after losses, feel the scrutiny is too often on Wells/Harvey and needs to be put on the young 'leaders'.

When do the Roos stop talking about being a young side and step up?
Dont remember this being said?

 

[giantroo]

FFS King - can you keep that trap of yours closed and just back the club!!

 

[giantroo]

Piss funny.

Yeh, saying No to the AFL and relocation isn't a 'can do' moment or 'getting things done'.

 

[tazaa]

Kingy is an idiot.
But we are the flavour of the week.
Have a say on North can get points to becomming a known ****wit (which is good in melbourne media)
The bit on we are always a concern is a copout. Every club would be a concern.
I hope the club transforms in light of this because the past 2 months suggests we wont.

 

[BZAROO]

They've been waiting a long time to smash the north board... Looking forward to the boys club proving them wrong once again...

I thought Kingy's point on Harvey & Wells was valid.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Robbo is colossally stupid.

 

[Frozzie]

He backtracked at a thousand miles an hour when whately didn't agree

 

[muttley45]

JB gets his chance to show some cojones on the footy show tomorrow nite,at the very least he should address nth supporters regarding our recent performances,eugenes departure,and put the vile serpent in her place,heres hoping

 

[Husk]

David King is just about dead to me as a North person. Apart from being a flog in general, he is also so out of touch with the common North supporter, he may as well be from another team.

Yep wouldn't mind a segment alone where JB is asked the hard questions from Garry or Damo. Or he comes out in a segment and bares it all.

 

[Frozzie]

He summed it up when he said he was a fan. We are members who take more than a passing interest. He is only interested in furthering his media career.

 

[Juryduty]

Kingy goes on these media outlet shows to give his views, he must be seen to be harsh and even controversial or he wouldn't get a gig at all.

He has his views on gold coast relocation and no one on here including me agrees with him. Still he is North Melbourne legend and I feel he speaks of hurt with what a club he loves has become, I know I am not liking our current plight.

And how does anyone know that he is not a member and just a fan.

 

[TheKanga]

I can't believe David King is still talking about Gold Coast.
Now he is saying we will eventually be asked to relocate again, it just adds more fuel to the fire.
If he was a true North person he wouldn't bring up these topics.

I hope our team can get their act together after the bye, otherwise the media will be like vultures.

 

[Pres]

I only had a brief bit to do with King in his time as a player but found him a total ****head when I did.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

Yeah all these media guys are stupid. Our team is going fantastically and the young guns have us sitting pretty atop the ladder.

oh hang on...

until the team puts some effort in and wins games, we deserve all the heat and criticism we get. Rose coloured glasses off - we're currently a rabble

 

[GoNorth]

David King is the new Eddie Everywhere! How many TV and radio shows can one person be on?

 

[Tas]

Kingy can **** off and follow Gold Coast, that club is as much North as North would have been had we been sold off to the AFL. He doesn't even have the brain cells to process what the AFL demanded of us and what would have become of us.
