To be fair we had zero injuries in March

They all piled on around round 3 and before that we looked ok. Not finals worthy but mid table at best.

The injuries have just stopped us in our tracks.

I hate using it as an excuse but they can't even train properly.

The Gronk was Will Schofield

You have suffered somewhat with a lot of players getting old around the same time.
It’s happened many times at footy clubs when you get successful teams that keep performing year after year.
They tend to have a core group of players that all have played together over a long time.
When this all finally catches up the fall is hard fast and painful.

Along with the obvious "Butters can win Brownlow", this week's ""nine things we learned" on the AFL site includes "North's Future Looks Bright". I have no words.

I’m just going to keep on saying it. We have way too many teams in this comp. Next weeks fixture is another boring as batshit weekend of footy.

Crows v Brissie only real top 8 clash.

David King on first crack is trying his hardest to cancel gamesmanship. #freethegawn is trending

Let's just reflect on the fact that we're now worse than North Melbourne.

Just happened to be looking at some old posts and this doozy came up.

Yea that was funny, I wonder why he didn't highlight Viney sniping all night.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

I've said it before and I'll say it again

David King is the Stephen A. Smith of the AFL & Gerard Whatley is the Joe Rogan of the AFL.

One constantly changes his opinions to protect his arguments while the other is a basic b!tch

 

[Steve Dore]

100%, they just lost the plot and most likely panicked.

3 pts up and a ball up 12 metres from their own goal, and just did every thing wrong.

The ball was at the other end, nowhere near Norf's goal.

To be fair, in those first few weeks it was true. Didn't last though lol.

I also like how on a segment about port blocking gawn, not once did they point out that port gave out 2 frees for illegally blocking Gawn

WCE put in the worst performance by any team in any league ever. To be beaten by a clear bottom team by 116 points.

Poor Freo they'll give big Max frees if anyone breathes on him next week.

They beat themselves?

Maybe they mean that North should walk towards the light

Charts rhymes with farts...

So, if Jonas got 1 week for a tackle that was rewarded with a free but ruled “careless, medium impact, high contact”

Daicos has to be:

• intentional - it was off the ball, no excuses
• body contact - in the midriff
• medium impacts - based on Jonas’ suspension were McDonald played on.

That’s 1 week…. But we all know that won’t happen.

Tom Browne on 7 news was actually arguing you can't see contact made so did it really happen.

That's what I wonder what is the point of making bucket loads of cash as an AFL Club.

If you're useless financially the AFL just give you money anyway.

You can make zillions but you aren't allowed to spend it anywhere so why bother.

You are allowed to spend it. You just have to pay a proportion of it as tax to equalisation.

OWN GOAL meaning their defence

and we are going to get a 19th team

Wrong sport.

In Australian Rules Football you attack your goal. You may be confusing it with Association Football.

In Aussie Rules if a player kicks the ball through their goal it does not result in a score for the opposition.

Pretty certain old mate Tommy is someone who thinks the moon landings were faked.

Depends on what his daddy thinks

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I honestly think if we deliberately smashed the soft cap they'd penalise us with stripped picks.

I could 100% see them doing that to make their point.

Nah the AFL love money.

If your dropping millions into their coffers and getting them bonuses they will forgive all.
