A supporter rally to protest North Melbournes decision to axe Brent Harvey didnt
eventuate on Saturday night.
Puma Shoes Online Clearance Sale .A Facebook
page called Save Boomer Harvey was set up after Wednesdays announcement the club
would not offer Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo
contracts for next season.About 2000 people registered to attend the event,
which was to occur at gate seven at Etihad Stadium before the Roos clash against
Greater Western Sydney.However, an organiser called it off hours before it was
due to start, citing the wishes of the players.Supporters filed into the venue
through gate seven without incident and stadium management werent aware of any
protests taking place.Harvey and Firrito took to social media on Thursday amid a
supporter backlash to assure fans they still loved the club despite their
disappointment at the decision.Petrie spoke to reporters on Friday and voiced
his displeasure at the supporter anger directed at coach Brad Scott and the
planned protest action.The only part Id like to change is the unfair way that
Brads been treated in the last three days, Petrie said.The way the medias
reported this decision and the backlash from small pockets of North Melbourne
people has been poor and Im really disappointed that thats the case.Ive heard a
few whispers about bits and pieces that might go on (on Saturday night).That
would be the minority - 99 per cent of North fans are rippers. We had a great
turnout at training and those small pockets can hang their heads in shame if
they decide to behave like (that).An online petition calling on North to reverse
their decision and award Harvey a one-year contract extension had gathered just
more than 4200 signatures by Saturday evening.

the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case,
it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South
Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to
purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. One year ago, NXT
TakeOver: Brooklyn took a surging brand and elevated it into another
stratosphere. The show featured several in-ring classics, including a showdown
between Bayley and Sasha Banks that was widely recognized as one of the best
matches of the year in any company.TakeOver: Brooklyn, NXTs first ever special
outside the confines of Full Sail University, completely changed the future of
NXT. Live event tours under the NXT banner expanded well beyond Florida, where
they had largely remained the last few years. Two further TakeOver specials --
one in London and one in Dallas during WrestleMania weekend -- were made
possible by the success of TakeOver: Brooklyn at the box office and through the
overwhelmingly positive response from fans.These are the kind of expectations
that NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II has to live up to.Of all the contracted
superstars that appeared on this show one year ago, only Bayley, Samoa Joe, Tye
Dillinger and Blake and Murphy remain on the NXT roster. Joe and Bayley have two
of the four most prominent spots at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, but the rest of
the card bears little resemblance to its predecessor.That being said, all three
title matches are based around compelling stories that have been given ample
time to grow over the last few months of NXT broadcasts.Shinsuke Nakamuras
ascension to the status of No. 1 contender for the NXT championship has been
compelling to watch, and the conflict with Samoa Joe is reaching its peak at
just the right time. Bayleys return to the scene of her greatest triumph is
contrasted by her current struggles against Asuka. And as for the NXT tag-team
championship showdown pitting The Revival against Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny
Gargano, the latter have been well-positioned as underdogs who are still fully
capable of taking the next step, thanks to their exploits in the ring both with
and against each other in the last few weeks.The rest of the show offers a pair
of debuts that should be crucial to how NXT proceeds in the future. With the
departures of top-class talent like Finn Bálor, Kevin Owens, Sasha Banks,
Charlotte, Sami Zayn, Becky Lynch and American Alpha, there has been a need for
new talent to step up and take over the top spots.Bobby Roode is making his
long-awaited debut against another newcomer, Andrade Cien Almas, in what should
be a strong showcase for both superstars. Ember Moon makes her first NXT
appearance against Billy Kay, in a match that could go a long way in determining
whether one or both of them can provide a well-needed shot in the arm for the
depth of the NXT womens division. With the recent departures of Nia Jax,
Carmella and Alexa Bliss -- and the high likelihood that Bayley will soon get a
promotion of her own -- the opportunity to stand out right away is there for the
taking.Heres a deeper look at the four matches that have had extended builds
towards Saturday nights conclusions in Brooklyn -- the three championship
matches, as well as the culmination of the ongoing feud between Austin Aries and
No Way Jose.NXT championship: Samoa Joe vs. Shinsuke NakamuraNXT has made a
habit of taking dream matches that no one thought were possible -- due to
geographic, contractual or other seemingly impassable barriers -- and making
them a reality. That trend continues in Brooklyn in the NXT championship match,
as Samoa Joe defends his title against Shinsuke Nakamura.Since his debut at NXT
TakeOver: Dallas, Nakamura has had high-profile matches against Zayn, Bálor and
Austin Aries, but each of those matches has only had a small build with most of
the hype generated by the spectacle of seeing the match itself. Each of those
victories helped tell the story leading up to this championship match in
Brooklyn, but for the first time since his debut, Nakamura has been given the
chance to tell a well-rounded story with Joe.It has taken some compelling twists
and turns along the way as Samoa Joe, who was very vocal about not getting a
fair shake in his pursuit of the title when Bálor held it, tried denying
Nakamura a rightful chance of his own until general manager William Regal
stepped in and made the match.Nakamuras style is unlike that of anyone in NXT --
or the world, to be quite frank. His seemingly violent strikes are deadly
serious, but his ability to be an eccentric has also been on full display.Theres
no denying @ShinsukeN is RELENTLESS in his pursuit of the @WWENXT Championship
vs. @SamoaJoe! #NXTTakeOver

2016This has the makings of an incredibly stiff match, and with both competitors
owning compatible styles of in-ring work it has the potential to stand up among
some of the biggest and most revered matches in NXT history if all goes
according to plan.NXT womens championship: Asuka vs. BayleyEvery time Bayley had
to jump another hurdle on the path to her first NXT womens championship victory,
an opponent would bring out an aspect of her personality or her repertoire in
the ring that we previously didnt know was possible.

Nz. As she dispatched all three of her fellow Horsewomen on her way
to victory in Brooklyn, or in defenses against Banks and Nia Jax, each match
pushed her to be that much better in order to secure victory.Will @itsBayleyWWE
somehow find a way to defeat @WWEAsuka for the @WWENXT #WomensTitle this
Saturday? #NXTTakeOver
https://t.co/93iaV8iDJT- WWE (@WWE) August 18, 2016All of
this went by the wayside in Bayleys showdown with Asuka at NXT TakeOver: Dallas,
as the undefeated Japanese superstar took everything Bayley had to throw at her
and then some. By reducing Bayley to an unconscious heap in the middle of the
ring, Asuka sent her opponent spiraling to the back of the line and, worse yet,
left her incapacitated for several months.Bayley had to prove herself,
step-by-step, all over again. She has added an edge to her personality in
response to Asukas dominance that not even Charlotte or Sasha Banks could bring
out, and it has led to the kind of depth that many feel was the final missing
piece of the puzzle before Bayley could successfully move on to either Raw or
SmackDown.Asuka has the makings of a long-time champion in NXT, and Bayley seems
to be on her way out of the door, but both women have the opportunity to prove
just how much each of them have earned the lofty positions theyve reached.
Bayley has proven her ability to get the best out of her opponents -- her
matchup with Banks in 2015 serving as the best evidence of that -- and this
match has all the makings of another potential show stealer.NXT tag team
championship: The Revival vs. Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny GarganoIt has been quite
a run for Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. The two independent wrestling
veterans got paired together as a tag team at an NXT TV taping in 2015, and over
the course of the last year, each has proved that they not only belong in NXT
full-time with their work in the ring, but that theyre deserving of the tag-team
championship match that awaits them in Brooklyn.That has been especially clear
in their performances the last couple of months. Gargano and Ciampa defeated the
Hype Bros, TM 61, the Vaudevillains and the tag-team champions The Revival
(twice, I might add) in matches that were chock-full of compelling spots and
great storytelling. The match that really put the pair over the top, however,
was a singles match against one another in the first round of the WWE
Cruiserweight Classic.In a match that many cited as the best of a strong first
round of the CWC, each man proved how viable he was as a single competitor --
and simultaneously proved how in sync they can be as a team.The Revival shocked
the wrestling world in regaining their tag-team championships in American Alphas
first title defense after TakeOver: Dallas, and the two-time champs have been
revitalized since putting the gold back around their waists. Dash Wilder and
Scott Dawson are as old school as modern wrestling gets, and the combination of
their win-at-all-costs style and high-level mat wrestling ability has taken them
a long way in NXT.Making Gargano and Ciampa jump through hoops to get this match
has worked wonders in raising the tension level of this confrontation, and the
NXT tag-team championship match should be a great proving ground for all four
individuals come Saturday night.No Way Jose vs. Austin AriesGetting a
comedy-based character over with the crowd is one thing, but successfully taking
on a more serious edge as a competitor once that happens is a far greater
task.With a name like No Way Jose, and a character that turns everything into a
dance party, Jose had a long way to go to excite the Full Sail crowd and get
them behind him, but in his first few months on-screen, he has made quite a bit
of progress in that regard.No more Mr. Nice Guy for @WWENoWayJose as he takes on
@AustinAries THIS SATURDAY at #NXTTakeOver: Brooklyn!
https://t.co/GDv3EYjeKp-
WWE (@WWE) August 18, 2016It remains to be seen if the Brooklyn crowd will be
equally into No Way Jose, but having Austin Aries across the ring will certainly
be a helpful step in the right direction. Aries is the most natural bad guy in
NXT right now, and with a nice assist from No Way Jose, Aries has gone over to
the dark side quite successfully after ending the pairs dance party in a beat
down.This match will be a true test for both competitors. For No Way Jose, this
is a far greater stage than he has ever been on. For Aries, its a chance to
prove to WWE fans (and brass alike) that he can live up to the moniker of The
Greatest Man That Ever Lived. ' ' '
