Bates Mate

Season derailed by gravy, Edit * I think this is a parady account

Of course he knew the protocols. Even dumber to go out in public and drink. Then to have that much that you can't control yourself

Been turning up nearly every week for 30+ years. Through all the mostly pain and some hopeful times that we would someday win a flag. Last year despite lockdown we finally got there and I felt a satisfaction I never thought I would. Not a fan of night games have kids under 10 and have been happy to watch most matches on the couch. Been to about 4 this year including last week, will go to this week's game and a few others if the schedule suits. just not a priority for me to plan my weekend around our games anymore, waiting for finals. Don't judge me.

We don't gift games and with Tmac coming back ,Probably won't happen but I'd be happy to see Majak given a go. He has been there 2 years, better ruck than Weid has played back for extended periods at North and has athletism to play on different types. Also a better presence than Weid if forward.

It's like we are getting punished for winning. I guess the predictability of our games at the moment means no prime time Friday nights. The dogs on the other hand how many FTA night games they up to now?

The video that highlights Neil is no longer able to be the voice of the campaign had me chocked up. Words can express the admiration i have for him,a truly all time great Australian

How Robbo has managed to reach the levels he has in the AFL media is one of life's great mysteries.

Not in the votes but liked hunts game.

The Tmac v Weid debate was put to bed today. Tmac is a stronger presence crashes packs, sets up goals and great finishing our best forward line has Brown and Tmac as the pillars with Fritsch the third tall and Anb, Charlie and kozzie

He isn't involved this year. He was last year , North were better last year so maybe he had more influence that I thought down there.

Don't think Noble has two desks in his office. Or drives a reality bus

I applaud the club who is always leading the way in this area ,but in terms of the jumper It's my least favourite so far.

100% agree

Hope so. I sat on level 4 and watched him the while game. He didn't lead up hard and demand the ball enough, not much presence. Got in the way multiple times. Glad he kicked his set shot but he didn't really convince me last night. Same as the Essendon game and even the geelong final in 2018. He doesn't ever dominate or have a presence , just happens to get on the end of a few. I think van Rooyen will pass him quickly

I've been watching closely and his half hearted leads are doing him no favours

Agree on Weidman , we actually need BBB leading further up the ground

Brayshaw $34 for the Frank Hughes medal is good value

I'm sure she will get informally sounded out. There is a major shift amongst big business to elevate females to leading positions and not before time either. She is definately capable but I suspect not willing to do it, thank goodness

When the only opposition fans left are there to boo there own team . Priceless

Viney square push in the back bloke ended up lying on him , play on

Kozzie needs to lift his output , I'd give him another game next week but has been missing for majority of them have the last 2 weeks

Morris might be in the outer after this minus his fox press pass

Great win with our depleted backline. Just looked up the free kick stats , I thought English got alot of free kicks but wowee. He got 8 that must be some sort of record

From 3 min 15 Bevo disgrace You're an embarrassment': Luke Beveridge's extraordinary post-match presser https://www.afl.com.au/video/719980

The more I digest that out burst from Beveridge the worse it is. Tried to say Tom has a conflict due to growing up a Dee's supporter, he was just reporting info. Then to play the mental health aspect when again all Morris did was report team lineup news. What do you think that attack could do to Tom's mental health bevo , disgusting
