[charcolechaddy]

Just checking in how this thread is going for the OP

I struggled to fit NM and Port in the same page.

 

[Freomaniac]

Is anyone surprised by who the OP is?

And I am not suprised by the standard by the bigfooty posters on here.

God, what I wouldn't give for Port to be in North Melbourne's position right now. My jealousy of OP is immense.

Why would you want that?

I am sure your would.

North would remarkably turn a profit this season.

the funny thing is they have turned a profit in 12 of the last 13 seasons.

Social distance hey?

Port have thought to have finished as far as they can from North.

I think its safe to say Port will finish above north on the ladder in 2022

Do people actually want Adelaide to be the only destination for homesick South Australians?

The second SA and second WA teams exist, in part, to "equalise" Adelaide and West Coast.

this, and i'd argue a 3rd would be good in either once economically viable. Would be great to see 2 games played in each state. esp given how good the grounds are.

Nah. Last year was an anomaly with cuts in revenue to all clubs. Can’t say their issues from years ago are linked.

Making hasty calls on clubs futures by assessing them in a COVID year is incredibly short sighted.

this as well.
the previous issues they had were not of their own making and COVID is completely unrelated to that being a repeat.

No reason to be concerned they can't pull through this. esp while the window is open and AO should be pretty full for them.

Not a lot of willingness among Port people to address their parlous financial position.

Throwing stones at others won't pay the bills.

Indeed, Port should be looking at the Dogs and North for advice and inspiration in this regard.

Serious question......

How on earth has North Melbourne turned a profit in the last 15 years? Especially in 2020 and 2021 when the season was ravaged by covid?

North even played home games with empty crowds.

Because they don't spend any money.

The local ammos club probably makes a profit on the sausage sizzle every weekend, it doesn't mean they're capable of financially competing in the AFL. Revenue is so much more important than profit for a sporting club.

More embarrassing than Port Adelaide and preliminary finals?

Massive AFL hand outs and never landing the big players they want so they always underspend.

More embarrassing than going 57 years without winning a premiership and then acting like a big tough boy when you finally win one?

I've always been a tough boy, what are you talking about

What on earth is this supposed to mean? You people and your titles, like can't you just talk normally

So the equivalent of someone on the unemployment line that is given money to spend it on alcohol to try and stimulate the economy?
