Bumped We don't play footy to lose - autopsy vs Gold Coast

[Samsquanch]

Me walking to the bottle-o in the Illawarra right now, as locals try and work out whether the royal blue and white merch I’m wearing is some new Cronulla sharks gear.

Is my memory right about the pool table in that pub being a bit low?

 

[berniemccarthy]

McKay not going, the woman on the boundary must have asked if he was going he shook his head

Mckay doing a quick lap of the ground giving high 5s, says no to a fan asking for a photo.

Gawn.

Congrats friends

If nothing else, this win proves the Shinboner spirit is alive and well.

Larkey is a superstar and Sheezel is going to be one very soon.

I honestly reckon this is the last season you finish bottom 4 for a long time.

You guys have a real good foundation to build on, unlike Essingtin (* em)

Happy for The Filth Wizard hotchilli and Dingster

Definitely renewing my NMFC membership next season and beyond (although only game I will attend is likely good friday)

Just want to do my bit to help North get up and about!

Oh * Essendon again for good measure

Good on you Elmer, glad you're still putting your hand in your pocket for us. We'll get you into a grand final one day.

 

[Psi-Roos]

My whole family cheered and got up and hugged me when we won. My kids maintained interest in the game and sung the song with me. Winning is worth it. Morale is the prize. Whoever we draft will still be amazing.

 

[Samsquanch]

I only did it because I ventured out into public on a Friday night, went inside, had a great time, got home late and thought yeh it’s nearly midnight

You only did it because you knew how important this game was going to be for the club.

 

[Briedis]

First time we have kicked 20 goals in a games since 2019

 

[kangafruity]

Im done. Catch you campaigners at trade period, where i’ll drink all your *in tears.

Thank God, pi$$ off. You do know Nick Larkey was a pick in the 70s. Haven't done too bad there have we? Your moaning is bordering on Tigers and Blues

The Illawarra hotel in the ‘gong? Dunno mate, never played pool there, I live 30km north. Will investigate on my next monthly date night and get back to you. Go Roos.

Yes it was a challenge to mix but had I have stayed at home it was watching Shit v Shit.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Bloody hell it feels great to win. Was never a fan of the tanking posts and glad they did not get their way.

Larkey is an astonishing player and deserves every accolade.

Curtis showing he can be anything if he builds his tank.

Goater the wingman solves one of the missing puzzle pieces.

Phillips/Powell are a dynamic duo. Need full preseasons.

Dawson won himself a new contract.

Berg, the iceman.

Laz breakout game.

Sheezel is utter sex. So is Thomas.

Ford winning a RS nom

Geez, it feels good to win again.

On the telly soon after, two blokes said something to him - I'm betting they asked if he was going to stay or go.

The director cut before we saw BMac's response so we were denied the chance to speculate on his body language as he replied.

 

[The Butcher]

Thought we looked like the team I remembered from the first couple of rounds. Pulling the trigger on short/mid kicks to guys with a couple of meters on their oppo and running into space on 45's. Pulling the trigger on quick hands to guys running past after a mark/free, and importantly not just in one third of the ground but everywhere. All it took was no selections looming for the next week and an oppo who showed as much heart as concrete slab.

Memo to Clarko.. if we win a couple early next year, no jokes about the double chance. Pass it on you inner scrotes.

 

[Shinboner roo]

Lmac goes out and the slow fumble backline turns into peak hawthorn lol.
Larkey has to be a AA foward this year or at a minimum in the squad of 40

 

[glenn2479]

Eddie Ford has played in 21 losses. After hearing that I thought just having a win and singing the song probably provides more benefit to individuals and the team than what Pick 1 does.

 

[Sticksphat]

Reinvent him into what? He's not elite at anything. Maybe his only chance is a Ben Jacobs type role.

After this year I think he can be a stoppage king. (Get ball, get tackled, fall down, create stoppage, rinse, repeat. )

 

[kangafruity]

To everyone sprouting about how great our defence was without LMac, and it was, do you not realise he'll be right back there again come round 1? He's not going to magically disappear.

We can hope can't we? Hopefully the blokes who showed what they can do today have big pre seasons and push him out

[kangafruity]

Well maybe clarko can reinvent him in the off season.

Into the VFL captain would be good

The difference today was our skills.

Handballs and kicks to advantage all day with the boys running in waves, no wonder Larkey kicked a bag he was getting it on a platter.

If we don’t end up Harley and get Curtin and McKercher instead then I’m cool with that, as they will compliment todays game style perfectly.

Great win boys and to sing the song is what supporting this club is all about, loved it!!

 

[Briedis]

Sadly it’s an accumulation of talent over several years

The mix will be there once this group hit 100-150 games

But as we’ve seen, it’s not that top end talent that gets you there

It’s the quality of 2nd and 3rd tier players and their consistency that wins Flags

But anyway, let’s get back to focusing on No 2 or 1 next year because that’s where the clicks are and not a fundamental understanding of playing one of the most difficult team ball sports in the world

100% agree, well said

 

[Rockstar6]

Reckon we struck a deal with West Coast. They probably take Curtin with 1 if they don't beat Adelaide tonight and we take Reid regardless. As good as Harley is, West Coast has to see him as a massive flight risk and not make the same mistake we made with JHF

A tale of two interpretations neither of whom know the facts.

A woman asked Mackay: "Can I have a photo since this is your last game for North?"

To which he replied: "No"

Did he mean no photo?

Or did he mean no, it's not his last game at North?

Or did he just mean that she was not the sort of woman he would want his photo taken with, regardless of where he plays next season?

There is a third interpretation currently doing the rounds on the dark web.

According to multiple sources who were not at the ground and who did not hear the exchange, the woman asked Mackay: "How will you vote in the upcoming referendum?"

Mackay replied: "No". And the woman promptly withdrew the offer of a photo.

Bigfooty in a nutshell.

 

[Ry009]

My lasting memory of this game was straight after the siren, the happiness on Tarryn's face.

Such a stark contrast to earlier this year.

 

[ansonholt]

Good on you Elmer, glad you're still putting your hand in your pocket for us. We'll get you into a grand final one day.

Maybe this year? The top 4 are all beatable.

 

[Hojuman]

LDU, Louge, Zurhaar, Wardlaw all missing today.
Chuck in Comben, three kids ready to play, some trade-in's, maybe a surprise or two...........2024 rd. 1
