AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[The Nostradamus]

Scholz in the ruck will be a problem

Rennie needs to learn to be more physical

King can go with her but I like king forward more

Our midfield will dominate theirs though and will allow us to just dominate territory

 

[Marstermind]

We must be the least talked about undefeated team in the history of the game. It’s like we don’t exist or we’re just an annoyance for media. We don’t even get the standard underdog credit. It’s really disrespectful to the team.

It's bizarre.

The Credit to the Girls thing on the AFL website this week forwarded the opinion that we're in trouble because we are undefeated. I mean, we're going to lose sometime so it's a problem now it's cut throat finals.

The active encouraging for North to lose is unfathomable. If we win the premiership this year it'll be the most complete season a club has had in the competition's short history. Yet some in supposedly unbiased seats seen to be actively barracking against it.

Need to win the premiership this year before we start demanding respect.

We were good last year, but Brisbane got it done when it counted. We need to do the same.

 

[Caracas]

We play by far the best brand of football in the competition. It doesn’t guarantee anything, I know. However, in any other universe, North would be lauded for their exploits.

Crockball is the template that good teams are following, you're already seeing it.

 

[Caracas]

Strange….and right after the game on 7 they start the cheering for port….
Hope crocks uses this as a bit of motivation…re media donn’t rate you .

It’s not that they don’t rate us. They constantly say we are the best team in the competition. It’s that they just don’t want us to win. It’s unfathomable. I, honestly, have never seen such disrespect.

Why so? Every other team seems to get respect just for showing up.

Was half expecting her to join the Port song at the end.

She’d stuff the words

They want the club to know it's place, men or women doesn't matter.

I don't, I hope we just play professionally and do away with a side that is clearly worse than us.

The commentators have to drum up interest in games, it's their job. If they jump in front of the cameras and say "North are a shoe in for this, the other teams are just fighting it out for second" people will switch off.

Literally who cares what anyone else thinks, we've got two finals to win.

 

[Only Forwards]

Is this good or bad for us?

My honest opinion is it shouldn’t matter.

There is a class of 3 teams at the top and the other two in our class play off against each other.

Upsets can happen so port have a shot. We have enough of everything to get past them and losing to them after the season we’ve had would be a failure.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Hawks shouldn’t get headed from here.

You are hereby banned from going the early crow in any of our games.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Hok ball turned to Choke ball

It happens sometimes. Especially given the etymology of Hok.

It is abundantly clear we are not a liked club.

We’re not big enough to be good.

It feels like on the whole there are the few who actively support the club and then there is everyone else who wants everything we do to be relegated to the level of insignificance.

As a club we need to embrace it and live with the chip on our shoulder that has given us power for 150 years.

Forecast for Brisbane on Saturday: 25 deg.
Forecast for Melbourne on Saturday: 35 deg.

The AFL: yep, let’s make the undefeated ladder leaders North Melbourne play during the hottest part of the day and Brisbane will play under lights.
The words piss up and brewery come to mind when thinking about how the AFL organises things.

 

[Liam Boy]

Genuinely feels like they're trying to sabotage us at this point. Insane.

We should look into getting the game moved to Tasmania, I don't even care about not getting to see it live if it means the girls don't have to play in 35 degree heat.

Something pretty fishy about that scheduling, that's for sure.

Ha, I’m never comfortable with a North lead. Might relax a little when the girls go eight goals up with three minutes to play but that’s the only time.

Also I wasn’t wrong, Hawthorn should have had it won. Biggest last quarter turnaround in AFLW history to lose to a team that just made finals, playing away at a ground where they had never won. Massive credit to Loz and Port, and no wonder Webster and the Hawks were devastated. My favourite clip was Bates angrily shaking her head after the siren.
