If there's any wind there tonight it'll be to the direction we're currently kicking to.

No chance. I'm at home watching TC.

Can't imagine there being any more than two guys and a dog there tonight. Rain currently tanking it down where I'm at not far from the ground. Shame they couldn't have played it early in the afternoon.

I'd have loved Brereton to have played for us at his peak. I remember Bob Skilton called him Bweeton when commentating so he wouldn't have to say Bweweton for two hours straight.

Brown on brown? Hawks just love upping the ante when it comes to putrid guernseys. Is their designer colour blind?

Irrespective of whether we continue to play one home game a season in the Alice or not, it doesn't look to me as if we're gaining any traction in the NT as a brand or gaining any rusted on supporters. Their allegiance up there tends to be towards the SA and WA sides and all of the red & blue merch handed out on the day just papers over that. I've been up to Darwin where we played for a few years and it was mostly a Crows crowd at the game. The club must know this. I think we're playing up there for the money. Pure and simple. The community outreach element is great but if the NT government told us tomorrow that they were halving their payment we'd be outta there.

If it stays dry I may well head down. The ground looks lovely these days and the surface is good too. Dead easy to get to on public transport. Hopefully there isn't a howling gale to the southern end. Just checked. Another bloody weekend with rail replacement buses. For anyone coming from town it's easier to get off at Footscray and walk. 25 minutes on foot or 1 hour 25 minutes if you stop in at the Victoria Hotel.

ie Eddie Boofhead McGuire.

I sooo hope he has organised to meet with an ex teammate for an innocuous coffee in a very public place whilst he's here.

With that sort of attitude BAMF you wouldn't have looked out of place in our side yesterday.

If we're going to stink it up I'd rather do it in Alice and earn $800k. Playing a home game in the NT might be the only thing preventing us from getting an away game against GC in the top end.

If the game had been played at the G we'd still have lost it. We may have been putrid but I didn't spend a cent watching it and the club collected $800k.

We got what we deserved today. Played lazy football throughout and were outworked by St K. Ironically if we'd been more accurate in front of goal we'd likely have won the game. We're gonna get chewed up and spat out on Monday week if we repeat that.

LOL. Who on earth is that TC?

A pre-game refreshment at the Victoria Hotel or Mona Castle followed by the chance to see our cough twin towers up front on the big stage of Whitten Oval.

Do we really play C’wood in the VFL at Whitten Oval next Saturday night? Strange venue and time if so.

If we had a thread titled How The Hell Did We Lose To This Lot (2025)? we could probably add the Hawks to it.

Whatever happened to North Melbourne's famed war chest? Don't tell me they pißed it all away on Clarko?

LOL. Aye, right you are.

I read The Age article online and left my thoughts in the comments section under it. Hopefully it will get past their sensors. Update: Just had a look and don't think it has but a couple of Collingwood scumbags did claiming the [censored] did nothing wrong.

What about afterpay?

He could swap teams & positions with his identical twin. Could be a win / win and nobody would be any the wiser.

Trade in this bloke and our kicking coach will be the one taking a mental health break.

Yeah, I saw that when fast forwarding the replay to the post-game interviews after I got home. He only left for better job security. Life is too short to be spending it in Casey.
