Funny distractions of the AFL

Featured Replies

Posted

Occasionally, I like to do comparisons between the Dees and other clubs - nothing deep, just looking at respective club websites. One such comparison is the make up of players lists, another is corporate sponsorship pages (if you are prone to depression, don't visit the Collingwood site for either).

After the Hawks game last night, I got to wondering how it is that a team like North Melbourne can play hard and accountable football a good portion of the time without any real quality players. So, on a list comparison journey I went.

Get to the front page of the Kangaroos website and I find this and nearly fell off my chair:

A few thoughts:

1) A bit comical - in a HAR HAR HAR kind of way;

2) A bit silly - because dyslexia is an impairment that affects reading, not speech; and (most importantly)

3) WHO THE HELL IS MODERATING THE TWITTER FEED AT THE NORTH MELBOURNE FOOTY CLUB???!!! I vote for this guy ...

This is a good place for these little AFL oddities; if anything to distract us from the grim on-field realities of Demon life at present.

 

Amazingly un-PC and un-AFL tweek from Majak. Not sure about the chimp at the keyboard image though - dangerous territory.

I wonder how long it will take for the media it get onto this. Not the worst thing in the world, but still very silly.


Funny, the thing I was looking at was the tackle count. Cunnington, Swallow and Harper in their top 5. Do we have any players in that age bracket showing that sort of work ethic? McKenzie and Trengove are our two best. Not much else from the youth.

Why is that dangerous territory? Monkeys at key boards has long been used to describe ineffectual people doing there work, in this case, as stated in the original post, whoever is meant to be moderating the NMFC website. Why is that dangerous??

Nobody's moderating that list, they've set it up so it shows all the tweets from 'their' accounts. Unfortunately for them that automatically includes any rubbish attempt at comedy by players.

Much like James Frawley telling everyone to 'get around' (urgh) an Aussie Wonaeamirri fake account because he thought it was real.

Just because some could wonder whether the monkey is referring to the NMFC site moderator or Majak himself. Congrats to caddypgt for posting the story about Majak's relayed tweet but the monkey image is the dangerous part.

Oh please! Someone who is illitetrate maybe? Even PC'ers won't fall for that inference.

Haha that didn't even cross my mind until you raised it.

It is common for European soccer hoons to disrespect black players with monkey whoops.

Someone at Melbourne needs to link the fake Jako account. That'd be magic.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
