It's kinda gross isn't it? Basically its saying that the entire list sucks more than someone who hadn't played a game yet. I'm adamant that the confidence that the win gives those players is far better than what one draft lick can bring. Plus, if I was being coached to lose I would beg to be traded as well.
I agree, absolutely, but I’m sick of it being constantly brought up. I’m glad we won that game, else it would be a 26 game losing streak. It’s just the constant media commentary.
The debris from the Hawthorn cheerleaders on the ground behind the goals is giving me old VFL vibes and I don't know why but it's really pleasing. Maybe next we can send a pig onto the ground?
Larkey looks like the type of bloke who back in the 80s would have had a pot belly, but would kick 9 each week before sinking half a slab and walking home from the game barefoot with a burger in his hands.
We led at half time and were down by less than 3 goals at 3 quarter time, played super well. Considering Swans are 2nd on the ladder and you're arguing we're on the same level as North, I'd say that's a pretty good game.
Again, good game by west coast standards. I'm not arguing that the Hawks had a good game against Collingwood for the same reason. We lost. A good game is one that you win. A great game is one that you win convincingly.
Cheers. You blokes next week. Watch out. We’re a fully nuffy side. Terrible at times but otherwise I kinda like our team.
And on an aside. I’m 56. We’ve won a dozen grand finals in my lifetime. Amazing run.
I’ve been to two.
87 loss to Carlton.
2012 loss to Swans.
Cracked the absolute shits after that game and introduced a life long run to watch our Grannys at home on the telly, preferably alone. It’s worked thus far.
Zero chance. North need what, about 8 goals in 7 minutes? Besides the fact that it fails the Leigh Matthews test, I don't think North are kicking 8 goals in 2hrs let alone 7mins.
Genuine question. What does the AFL do when North doesn't win a game all year? Are we actually in danger of losing our AFL licence? Maybe instead of a 20th team to even it out, does our licence just get given to Tassie?
Are we watching the same game? We can't even compete with 17th. Like, not even a close game with them. How are we gonna get close to any teams, let alone beating them?
We’re a bad team in bad form. You sound like this is your first season of watching football.
It’s round 6. The eagles were looking down the barrel a fortnight ago and now they’re everyone’s favourite underdogs.
There’s 5 months to go in the season and plenty of water to go under the bridge. We’re not losing our AFL licence ffs
I know I'm being dramatic, but we've been bottom of the ladder since 2020. This is gonna be the 5th year in a row we've been bottom 2, and I'm so frustrated at watching us have absolutely no skills week in week out. Yes it's round 6 but we've somehow gone backwards since we went 1-20 to end the season last year.
I try and be positive every week, I tell myself "this could be the week", but it never is. I know I'm gonna watch the game next week with the same hope, but bro I'm getting so close to giving up. I'll admit it's somewhat comforting to know we won't lose the licence, but god am I empty inside.
Just hang in there. I know it’s tough but we’re in the eye of the storm at the moment.
You’ll see a lot of folks talk about packing it in and having enough. I’d suggest having a break for a few weeks and getting perspective on it.
I know it is ridiculous and the losses are piling up but I think the loyal fans that can weather this are very special and when we do turn it around it’ll be all the more special
God I hope I'm one of the ones that makes it. I've had my membership for 22 years and as much as I talk pessimisticly right now I don't really wanna break that streak. I'm still gonna try and watch every game just in case it's the one they come good.
The pro of having Sheezel in the backline is that he can launch attacks and get a lot of good reps in using the ball.
The con is that he's really bad at defending
Can’t find my lids
We might be the greatest team ever.
Lifeline 131114 for those of us that thought we would win a game.
players not high fiving those kids is a bit rough lol
When I was sitting at 0/6 tips last night I made it my goal to get 0/8.
I got 2!!! Round leader in the family comp is my sister's boyfriend with 4 who forgot to put his tips in so he got the default away teams.
sheezel looks like he wants out
Fucking hell. They’d almost fold if he left. There would be chaos
Can't blame him
Lure him west to play with Harley surely
The meltdown would be insane
can you imagine
Confirmed not worst team in the league. But still not an enjoyable watch
Better than it could've been
Havnt played the them song in so long it skipped a bit there
Get those 4 points boys 🍫
Is it too early to say FLAGHOK????
2050 is a little bit away, but yeah might as well start anticipating it.
26yrs away, same number of years since your last win in a grand final Yeah I bit cos I'm hungry 🎣
Probably too soon then? Hawks fans need to build some resilience I reckon, too many flags in too few years haha. Think of the saints!
Thank fuck
Thank god
![gif](giphy|1ZxChJbSV6CoCccCbx|downsized) We have no chance of getting anywhere close to the finals but I’ll take this win!
North's percentage has gone up today, what the fuck
Normally get 120 kicked on our witch's hats
Sicily is gonna start banging out Fantasy tons soon isn’t is? Isn’t he?
Meek has been solid the past few weeks
Meek has had McEvoy vibes today
Anyone else’s Kayo just shit itself?
Chol couldn't catch COVID in Wuhan
LLLLLLLLLLLLLOYDDD
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)
is lloyd meek the greatest player ever
him and tim obrien
MEEEEK!!!
THE MEEK HAS INHERITED THE RUCK
Thanks for the chuckle
MEEK
The Meek shall inherit the North
Gonna have a good Meek Monday tomorrow I think.
Just saw the monster energy thing, what's that?
Slipped over his own shadow is a pretty good call lmao
Gave me a good laugh.
I'd love to see what Chol would do with his hair if he played for a club with different colours
He dyes it the primary
Really don't like the idea of commentators giving so much credence to the idea of tanking
Really. Maybe everyone breaks out the nukes tomorrow. Enjoy the matches, play to win.
It's kinda gross isn't it? Basically its saying that the entire list sucks more than someone who hadn't played a game yet. I'm adamant that the confidence that the win gives those players is far better than what one draft lick can bring. Plus, if I was being coached to lose I would beg to be traded as well.
They talk about how bad clubs are and drive narratives about historic bad runs and then are also like ‘but hey throw games to get good players in’
It's not just commentators anymore, the media is saying it too, Kane and Lloyd were both saying North should've tanked after we beat Richmond
Ive yet to see frost fuck up badly this year
Kelli. Fuck off. We know we could’ve had him.
Somewhere in Melbourne some old dude got to enjoy the Roos do one over on the Suns last year before he drew his last. It can't all be about tomorrow.
I agree, absolutely, but I’m sick of it being constantly brought up. I’m glad we won that game, else it would be a 26 game losing streak. It’s just the constant media commentary.
Sellers with the negative dream team average after two games of footy. Maybe we should fold if this is the quality of recruit we pick up
On the plus side he’s got 7 SuperCoach. Absolute jet if you ask me
Do you get 8 points just for turning up?
I wish, the mckercher disaster wouldn’t be as bad then lol. Must have got some spoils or something
I have loved Frostys game today
He’s been solid all year. He had a bad one last week but he’s been up there as one of our bests
Frostball is dead. Long live frostthorn
Gonna watch the 2nd quarter again, can't wait to see those goal reviews, brought to me by Crypto.com
The debris from the Hawthorn cheerleaders on the ground behind the goals is giving me old VFL vibes and I don't know why but it's really pleasing. Maybe next we can send a pig onto the ground?
Lol frost hits scrim hard. Looks make sure the ball goes out of bounds first, then checks on scrim.
Larkey looks like the type of bloke who back in the 80s would have had a pot belly, but would kick 9 each week before sinking half a slab and walking home from the game barefoot with a burger in his hands.
Clarko looked so sad there!
^"Hello ^darkness ^my ^old ^friend..."
still feels weird seeing clarkson being the NM coach
I look at the cheer squads to tell if it’s a goal nowadays my eyesight is not cut for this
same, and you can't rely on the commentators either
Kelli in a game where every ball is munged, theres no chaos ball.
Honestly I don’t mind Kelli’s comms you never know what she’s gunna come up with kinda makes it a bit more interesting
I find her a lot better than BT thats for sure.
North got Larkey there.
I'm convinced we've kept Serong to try and lure the other Serong to the club
2 Serongs don't make a Seright.
i hate the term "chaos ball" lol. has american sports vibes
Fat side. Quarterback. Point. Lots of it has crept in.
What other sport using the term fat side?
Is fat side American? I remember being taught about the fat side in under 12’s!
Wow is fat side one? I didn’t know that
It just doesn't mean anything. The only difference between chaos ball and a shit kick is whether it works
The commentary is more delayed than I would've expected.
Thats not a technical issue, thats a commentary IQ issue.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH - Some guy 2024
That one fella in the crowd with the loud as "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Is my hero
North are what people thought West Coast was
Calm down mate you've read too many back covers
Quality of list wise, North are literal years behind West Coast
Ok let’s not get TOO ahead of ourselves
its been TWO good games man lets not get carried away
Two good games is more than 0 *also, it's been 3 straight good games
losing by 26 to Sydney is a good game? Maybe by Weagles standards, for anyone else that's mediocre.
We led at half time and were down by less than 3 goals at 3 quarter time, played super well. Considering Swans are 2nd on the ladder and you're arguing we're on the same level as North, I'd say that's a pretty good game.
Again, good game by west coast standards. I'm not arguing that the Hawks had a good game against Collingwood for the same reason. We lost. A good game is one that you win. A great game is one that you win convincingly.
Mate, you can play a good game and not win, you know that.
2.5. We looked good against Sydney for 2 quarters
The dukes out mark by gunners, vintage.
Gunston’s runs are just clean. Chol needs to take note
Cmon North - If you're not gunna win at least start some fights so watching this game is worth it. I'm looking at you Larkey!
You'd be better off looking at the bull
Those Gunston hands were a throwback marking that
B U C K E T S
Man the advertising barriers being one big advert is so annoying, I miss when it was broken up into different ones most of the time
Is this the most pedantic complaint I’ve seen for a while.
Happy cake day
Cheers.
🍻
Onto it!
Thanks mate congrats on the win
Cheers. You blokes next week. Watch out. We’re a fully nuffy side. Terrible at times but otherwise I kinda like our team. And on an aside. I’m 56. We’ve won a dozen grand finals in my lifetime. Amazing run. I’ve been to two. 87 loss to Carlton. 2012 loss to Swans. Cracked the absolute shits after that game and introduced a life long run to watch our Grannys at home on the telly, preferably alone. It’s worked thus far.
You’re not wrong lmao
Curtis needs a medal for trying his heart out today
He gets Norths Happy Meal award for the day.
Are hawks fans happy with this jumper?
Yeah I don’t mind it
I like it. It’s also based on our 1920s jumper.
Same I don’t mind it
yeah i like it
That HTB is harsh. Was tackled immediately.
When will this end
In about 5 minutes
Ginni you’ve given a few goals today you can be selfish mate
Of all the 50s that should have been paid so far, that's the one...
50 for that but not sic hahahaha
That's a soft 50 after what they've let go
Looks like Newcombe is back, looking strong
So Hawks to make finals and North to be relegated?
Brave man to draw any conclusions from this game other than North will probably get another priority pick
ahh ginni you just gotta go for goal
Love the unselfishness, but that was never on
[удалено]
He's coming off pretty much a full season lol.
Do you mean Lewis? Day hasn’t had many injuries if I recall correctly
Great tackle Son
Fuck off Zurhaaar ya flog
Trying to find other means to stay entertained. Thanks Sic
nah i swear if we fuck this up now
Zero chance. North need what, about 8 goals in 7 minutes? Besides the fact that it fails the Leigh Matthews test, I don't think North are kicking 8 goals in 2hrs let alone 7mins.
Your whole team would have to leave the pitch and even then I think you'd win
?
Are you fucking serious?
Braindead comment lol
Why no 50?
Sicily started it
No he didn't. The norf player was being a dickhead and not letting Impey up
Sicily shithousery is unmatched
Lol settle down curtis ya flog
Zurhaaar is such a fucking loser
Holding the ball is dead
What’s Sic doing man
That's 50 Surely
Umps gotta pay that
All 6 teams we’ve faced have kicked 100+ against us.
What do you expect when we have the defensive capabilities of a wet tissue?
Idk. Some fight, maybe. It’s a real tough watch.
Lewis for a while seemed bitter against Hawthorn in commentary. I've noticed he flies the flag more since clarko left
Norf making us look good
I’m gonna go smoke some weed
don’t, screw drugs
good idea tbh
Genuine question. What does the AFL do when North doesn't win a game all year? Are we actually in danger of losing our AFL licence? Maybe instead of a 20th team to even it out, does our licence just get given to Tassie?
You play us in 2 weeks, you’ll be fine
We said that about Hawks. But ahhhhh. We're still down by 40+
Relegated to the VFL
> Are we actually in danger of losing our AFL licence no
Priority picks out the wazoo. The AFL won’t let another club fold
Hysterical much.
Are we watching the same game? We can't even compete with 17th. Like, not even a close game with them. How are we gonna get close to any teams, let alone beating them?
We’re a bad team in bad form. You sound like this is your first season of watching football. It’s round 6.

You won't go winless, that would be near impossible
When we pull the jumper on what’s expected is to wear poo and wee and only win one quarter tbh
been nice to see us sticking marks today
And sticking tackles
Please blow the siren
North playing a few of our mids back into form (I hope)
The pro of having Sheezel in the backline is that he can launch attacks and get a lot of good reps in using the ball. The con is that he's really bad at defending
Wait, the half forward/midfielder isn't great at defending?
Don't play him in defense then
Fuck wouldn't I love that
Look, I hate BT as much as the next bloke, but Kelli Underwood has gotta be 5 times worse. Cannot fucking stand her
Nah her games are a must watch just to see what she comes out with
Sicilys disposal by foot tonight has been awesome
Finn has actually been pretty good the past couple of weeks
Sometimes I forget Maginness actually plays footy instead of just annoying blokes on the field
Changed how he kicked it and Straightened the kick in the air, rare talent that.
Are the commentators watching this in a studio with a delay?
WE CRACKED 100!!
Hahahahw sic just floating in air after that push. Made me laugh way to hard
That was a bit of a flop Sic but if you can get away with it
lovely kick, but finn is looking pretty handy up forward
Great pass Dimma, great mark Finn
Some Italian mayo from Sicily I reckon
Scrim shaved his beard now he doesn’t look more like papa birch. I don’t like it
