Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[Chip Scab1]

Any chance we can change the photo of pre-season?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not into Billy Hartung, Kanye, Essendon Tall Defenders or Paulie (Shore)!

While we are at it, who's behind right of Higgo? And who in the hell is over LMAC's right shoulder?

For anyone that has had a bit of an issue with their memory, it's off putting to say the very least.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

You pick and choose the facts you want to listen to. You are a lefty looney filled to the brim with buzzwords

You can’t answer why we are not paying our full soft cap. Ive told you why, but you beat off on name calling and buzzwords.

I was kicked out, and reported because people like you have skins made of rice paper.

It's so funny seeing conservative loons talk about how progressive-minded people are thin-skinned yet they themselves are so often first to melt when their arguments are fiercely contested.

As for the soft cap, I don't expect you to comprehend this but for the benefit of all those who are wondering, we are indeed paying it in full.

Bring TT back so we have something to talk about in the off season

Don’t even have to bring him back, could still easily open up that Pandora’s box.

A good point that someone raised the other day is that for the first time in a few years, we have nothing to talk about, no ITK information to gossip about, nothing. Because everything at NMFC is running as it should, there are no AFL investigations, no police reports, no-one connected to the club has been arrested or taken to hospital, and no-one is behaving badly. Touch wood.

Seriously, I hope you touched some real wood (from a tree) when posting that.

Damn.
You know what this post has done now don’t you?

 

[Gasometer]

Anyway, it’s been asked already but maybe we can start with the horror pic at the top of the page?

marklovesbeer are you the OP that can change

Sets a poor message after all these weeks, time to move on from Mr Magoo on our 2025 page

Scabbing my posts now Chip Scab1 ?

 

[DuckYeah]

It's so funny seeing conservative loons

Im not a conservative loon. Far from it. You mouth breather, still suck on your thumb too? Thin skinned, you, 100%

 

[year of the roo]

I want the last word.

No I want the last word.

Shutup idiot.

No you're the idiot.

I know you are you said you are so what am I?

I can only imagine what cretinous animals you have to deal with, Gaso. But down my way, we have some Alan Didak-like Magpies and a shitload of Ants. The native chip scabs are ok... just noisy.

 

[Passmore]

Thanks mate. Might go have a look. Do you know what sort of training they’re doing? Drills and match sims or more fitness based stuff?

Might be a bit of time trial stuff given it’s day 1. You’d still expect to see something worthwhile apart from that.

 

[Lomas]

No I want the last word.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Funny how as soon as anyone has a different opinion against someone’s preference, we all get labelled this lazy bullshit (oh you’re a conservative or even left wing) that apparently identifies our entire personality.

Just read the thread title. If the AFWL was so amazing none of us would have to constantly push it down throats of fans on unrelated BF threads and be labelled shit for not liking it (criticising) or even liking it. It’s cringe with the virtue signalling of “I like it so makes me a good person” bullshit I’ve seen everywhere. Both sides are just arguing about nothing.

Anyways this post is quite hypocritical but eh I can’t wait for this year 2025

The year of the Roo Boys to skyrocket out of the bottom 4

 

[amaz199]

So... uh... pre-season?

‘Virtue signaling’, oh….

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

You are infuriatingly vague.

You and Harvey Manfrenjensenden make statements that you very much claim to be factual and objective. But when asked for the evidence that makes those statements objective and factual, you do not seem to have much.

I don't need empirical evidence to support a statement like "I love the AFLW and seeing North successful in it makes me happy". It's an opinion, entirely subjective. It's my opinion and I would go so far as to say, I am prepared to sacrifice some of the men's AFL budget to achieve it.

I am entirely happy for you to have the opinion that none of the men's budget should be sacrificed for the AFLW, and I think it is reasonable and understandable. I am also interested in the way the world works, and whether North Melbourne actually would do this and to what extent. And whether, as Harvey asserts, the AFL actually do this as an organisation. But so far nobody has been able to demonstrate to me that it has ever happened.

The AFL is a gigantic money-making exercise, tied up with cultural and historical phenomena. People are always bemoaning changes to the game, but in reality they are just reflecting the bare realities of being a human being who ages, matures, changes, whatever verb you choose, over the course of about 80 years. How often do people really reflect on what it would have been like to be a spectator or player in a football game in 1950 or 1910 or 1869?

You compare AFLW with the likes of Deer Park as if this is somehow relevant. Football developed in a cultural environment where the idea of women playing was utterly unfathomable for part of the time, then a weird oddity that of course should be allowed, but would never become anything. In terms of gestational periods of organised club play to television coverage of an elite league, you could perhaps say the men's version took a century from 1877 to 1977, while the timespan for women's football is one-third the time, 1981-2017.

Why does it matter if in your view there is insufficient talent to support a viable elite product? Thousands of people disagree. AFLW arose in a time when the cultural norm was for Australians to spend thousands of their hard-earned dollars on supporting and spectating elite sportspeople do their stuff, for some sort of pleasure or pain. Of course it is going to happen, you're bloody Canute and the tide.

Anyway, I seem to have got distracted trying to understand your psychology. You're not a bloody idiot, I remember your posts from a few years ago. I don't care what ferball says, Tef was a complete ****ing idiot. I guess that's not fair, but at a certain point you do have to move past the disadvantages and social conditioning of your upbringing. He had the wherewithal to post coherently on here, he should have had the wherewithal to reflect on the world and what it means to be a human being. Shit, distracted again. Anyway, at first I thought you were just putting on an act, some sort of weird ultra-negativity about North that you were doing in the hope of a reverse jinx. But I don't know, you're sticking to the bit far too long if that's the case.

Anyway, in the absence of any actual evidence I'll assume KC's on the moneyh.

No need to yell

Why did you tag me in this post?

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Why did you tag me in this post?

Because I disagreed with your sentiments about Tef.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

So, how about that nmfc preseason.

I haven't read every page, but it reads as if DY introduced AFLW to this thread because it is vaguely about training so it's an opportunity to push the barrow that we are understaffed and underfunded due to the AFLW. Is that not right?

I haven't noticed anyone pushing it down anybody else's throat, but people do seem genuinely baffled that you would take no joy from our team winning a premiership in such a convincing manner, but instead use it as evidence of misplaced priorities.

Pretty much. We got extra resources, we should have used them somewhere else even though that meant we wouldn’t have got them.
