OK, we are clearly heading the right way and looking at our list we 'should' be a definite threat this year. If we aren't something has clearly gone wrong and changes should be made. But that's not the question. Assuming a fit squad and results going our way as expected, how much priority do we...

It's off-season, and I think AFL footy is a fantastic spectator sport. We're lucky to have such a game to enjoy IMO. Like to hear what other sports people have a passion for? I used to really love cricket. But lost interest in recent years and this current Windies series is exactly why...

I started a thread on this a couple of years back, but for an off-season thread thought might be interesting to discuss what supporters view as their favorite players, as we have a pretty level group with plenty of options. I had Thommo, Wells and Swallow last time from memory, amazing what a...

We have been pathetic in our recent prelims. Excuses like tired, interstate and so on might cut it for a while, but we have no excuses this time. I'd hope all supporters are expecting a strong performance, not just happy to be here tonight? We might not win, but i'll be furious if we roll over...

After reading "#lolnorf" insults all week from here and elsewhere, just cant help but think such arrogance by their supporters from such a poorly performed club was laughable. I like to be a gracious winner usually, but that was the most satisfying win I've experienced for a LONG time. Above...

I attended a footy breakfast before the match yesterday, which had Arch and Burke as guest speakers. There was a North representative who pretty much towed the lines we already know, whilst Gary Baker was the other guest speaker. Thought i'd pass on in summary what was said for anyone...

What a disgrace I've seen tonight. I'm not even surprised either. Undermines my Crocker thread, but then Scott is back and that has worked well.....not. We might still win this sure, but who cares. Clean the old guys out now - I love them but we need to start again or we will stay totally...

Firstly, congrats to Crocker for getting the appointment. We didn't do too badly under his last term as coach, and we have a better list at his disposal this time. As supporters what do we expect and/or hope of him during his expected 4 or so game week period as coach? I understand he can't...

I know this has been mentioned in certain threads, but I think this "tactic" deserves it's own thread (I apologise as couldn't find it if one exists) Ok. We have a near 400 game champ who has built his record as a very damaging fwd both in terms of kicking goals, and creating them with his...

Most interesting boxing match for a long time. Two genuine superstars going at it. Mayweather has defense first and counter style whilst Pacquiao likes to dominate by attacking, so should be a very interesting fight, especially in the early rounds. Can't stand Mayweather and would like nothing...

Scott and staff deserve a spray. No, this is not a sack Scott thread etc, rather just a comment that I believe supporters should put heat on our coaches to do better next time and how we can go about it. Reasons; - playing an inexperienced defender in Tippett on an absolute gun fwd in Walker...

This topic of 'recreational drugs' has come up on the main board and elsewhere, but thought we could discuss our views of the matter from an AFL but also NMFC point of view. I checked for similar threads and couldn't find any, so by all means delete mods if it's been discussed enough already...

Just to break up the predominant (and understandable) discussion about who will or won't make round 1, thought i'd ask who are our favourite players going into season 2015. With such a mix of quality players of various types, both skilled and/or tough. It's not easy to give a top 3! Reckon...

We had a positive year and an impressive finish to 2014. For mine, with nothing important outgoing (we can replace Greenwood, with Swallow and Cunners fit we don't need him) and with our inclusions of Waite and Higgins, I think the bar should be set the same or higher. What is your minimum...

Ok, well this is not the most exciting topic. But just for anyone that might be interested, I love my power tools even though I work in a suit like many of us. Right. I have had a few mowers last 10 years and all have their merit. Briggs and Stratton Motors, Masport 4 stroke, Victa 2 stroke...

In the spirit of the Carey v Jakovich article/thread, be interesting to know other important match ups that people remember. The first one that comes to mind of course is Boomer v Crowley. There is serious heat in that one despite what they might say to the media. A previous one was MickM v...

I'd love to know the thoughts of those who have travelled to Sth Tassie and how their experiences have been? Not just the footy game, although a review of Blundstone would be great but also generally. Good bad or ugly is all welcome!! ha Pros and cons, and we all know there are plenty of...

Happy New Year to all. Regardless of whether your festive plans are large or small, with friends or family, just enjoy it! It's an exciting year ahead as a club in our position. I'll toast tonight to a new year and a potential North premiership in 2015 to become number 5. Cheers.

This time of year is obviously slow, so just for some interesting discussion outside draft etc, thought i'd ask who people thought were our best three players in order. Not who will be the best, who are the best right now going into round 1 2015. It is really difficult IMO.....we have an...

After the very poor loss last round, this is yet again another opportunity to seek retribution and has become a very important game. Winning tonight places us in a great position to still put pressure on the top 4 - losing it means we will be scrapping for a place in the 8. Cats were ordinary...

I think it was. Sure they were a few key players down which the media have pointed out, but so were we which has to a degree been overlooked. We appeared in control for most of the game. The result flattered the Hawks, we won the midfield battle and many times we went forward and couldn't...

NM on Friday night footy is back, what better time to see us respond to last week's very disappointing loss. There has been much discussion over our selection changes. Lets hope those selected all put in a performance to justify their promotion over some promising rookies. Rioli out is...

Brief preview of game available here; http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2014/15/bl-v-nmfc NM In: Warren Out: Nahas LIONS In: Daniel McStay, Ryan Lester, James Aish, Ashley McGrath Out Tom Cutler, Zac O'Brien, Nick Robertson, Darcy Gardiner We go in deserved favorites for this game. A win...

Interesting article at this address; http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-06-07/hardwick-v-scott Not sure if it's all entirely accurate, but it seems a pretty good analysis. Both coaches have (arguably) under-achieved, but I think we are in a far better position to succeed in future.

What is causing our continual and irrelevant mediocrity? As documented I think Scott is an ordinary coach and won't take us anywhere. I'm confident Laidley would have taken us further with the same resources and talent. However, seeing our senior players so obviously let him down almost every...

Some posters give credit where it is due, and criticise where due. Yet those same posters get hammered as "haters" when we dare criticise a player, as we don't all buy in to us being the next dynasty team and all our players are future stars in the waiting. Reading this week we should easily...

Going to be a huge ask to roll the Dockers at home when so undermanned. However their form has not been that impressive and have a few out too, so I am hoping for a very competitive display. Looking for those who do have an opportunity to make the most of it, and the senior guys to set the...

As I've written elsewhere, I missed this game and sure enough we win.....and a big one also knowing SCG and conditions, with our recent history. 21 - 5 was the smother count according to reports i've read. That is absolutely brilliant, and shows an aggressive intent we haven't seen previously...

With Thommo, IMHO has been my favourite player last couple of years. Only needs 20 touches to be really damaging. Love watching him play. Also gets his own ball when at his best (despite what some think). Just looked way out of sorts so far this year. Not having a go as he is a gun, but what's...

Came back to my car (which I love) today to see it keyed deeply, both sides, with a note on a serviette under wipers saying "NMFC are s**t, Pies rule". I have small stickers on my side/rear windows - obviously this idiot/clown/bogan whatever didn't like it. So yep, will cost me $$. Be...
