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: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
