Funny distractions of the AFL

[caddypgt 30]

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 ...

Gold. Good spot.

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.
