North and the AFL

[Jar Man Out]

Wll North have done alright this week.

Lonie is back for the power whilst they have dropped Damon White back for north as compensation.

Wll North have done alright this week.

I disagree, to accomodate the two AFL players who are key forwards we had to drop Wundke who has been playing great and is a huge player of the future. Its actually stuffed us up because we bend over backwards for the AFL clubs. (unlike some other SANFL clubs)

North would never have figured having Lonie, White or D. Motlop in it's plans for this year but 2 or those 3 will now have donned North jumpers. Personally I hope Damon has a big game and goes straight back up, Lonie whilst useful has not set the world on fire and as Wedgie stated this week to fit in 2 AFL players in White and McIntyre we have had to drop 3 players who have performed very well overall and are deadset unlucky to be dropped. Lonie I would rather not see in a North jumper again this year.

McIntyre was always in the plans as he was only expected to stay on the Rookie list and therefore be a North player each week and Gill was an unknown. Personally speaking you would take the likes of D. White each week but I do feel for Gallman, Wundke and Delvins but that's the nature of the beast.

Happy to report that Glenn Elliot personally responded to my email about the article on the web-site. It sounds like there will be more explanation added to the site tomorrow. If it's the same as how he explained it to me then I think it will present much better.

I still question why the club, if it wanted to 'explain' things to it's members like me, didn't do an members email rather than use the front page of its web-site but for now I'm happy and I'll call 'play on'.

'Thank god' some of you will say

Macca Dutchy is referring to some PMs we swapped about two months ago when I got on my high horse about him calling the Adelaide football Club a "franchise".

The hypocrit part of my post is a "self-sledge" for using the word franchise in reference to Port, here I am using the term when referring to the Port Power footy club....

But the crows are a franchise. How could you argue with that .

[Hondo]

deleted boring commentary by yours truly about franchises ....

[Hondo]

Well, the updated web-site article seems to be more definitive about pointing the finger at Port Adelaide. What do the North people think, is that your take on it? If it's not the Crows so much at fault are Reidy and Neil Craig still hypocrites or are they using their experiences in the past to better work with the SANFL clubs in the present?
