    1. I am not from Melbourne. Not for a long time.

    2. I read very little football media coverage. Most of it, wherever it comes from, is moronic. With a couple of honourable exceptions, there is almost no genuine journalism practised by the football media. It is uninformed boosterism for the most part, aimed at the lowest common denominator, and beholden to the AFL and its associated business interests such as Fox Footy. My views, such as they are, are formed without much media input.

    I just don't like artificial teams. They need to have a foundation in the community they seek to represent, not be imposed on that community by corporate interests. I am happy for there to be a second Sydney team, but only if it grows out of a local groundswell. That would take a lot longer than the current model, but so be it.

      HS article by Robbo suggesting Brad Scott won't see out the year at North Melbourne as frustration have reached boiling point within the club. Heard Tom Browne say similar on radio this morning.

        Earlier this year someone suggested a hypothetical Scott / Longmire coaching swap. Phase 1 is underway

                Yes, this weekend could be his last game.....no real point seeing the season out. If they win, maybe he hangs around.

                    Am I being overly sensitive and/or unforgiving to be annoyed at seeing Gillon McLachlan wearing an indigenous scarf at the beginning of the "Dreamtime at the G" game?
                    Perhaps I should be pleased that there seems to be some progress on display there but I can't help but feel angry that his "support" for indigenous people is just a tad late.

                      Be pleased that there is some progress but never lose the anger of what was done to Adam Goodes.

                        I'm glad the Kangas got up today: 1 for the now departing Scott; and 2 because it pushes up the pecking order for the mid-year draft.

                              As romantic as it sounds, surely Horse would be crazy to prefer Norfs list over ours.
