It seems fairly apparent that you have a lack of depth of feeling for the club.
"Playing the emotional card" seems to be a term used when people are seen to be passionate about their club. It wasn't a card that the club played, it was a natural reaction from a suburban club that has deep roots (132 years) and is sick and tired of being pushed around because they have a few thousand less payed up members of their club.
Why money should come into the reckoning of the survival of a club at this level after this long after all we have contributed is beyond me.
Hundreds of millions.......I'll say it again.....HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars are generated into the AFL's coffers for facilitating the running the league. They are NOT Judge Jury and Executioner. They while being partly responsible for the state of the competition as it stands , have made a whole heap of mistakes.
The thing that makes our game great and profitable is the game itself, the sooner people realise that the AFL are merely facilitators with a great resposibility the better.
For the sake of a shorter missive I will not comment on the media save to say that Caroline Wilson and Patrick Smith should themselves be relocated ... as far away as possible.
Its time for all North people to stand together, the die has been cast and if you love the club then you WILL become a member, if you don't then you do not SUPPORT the North Melbourne Football Club but merely barrack for it.
