If anyone wants to see why our clubs fetish for 6ft and under players is killing us, just watch the 1st minute of yesterday’s game against Adel. Adel take 3 contested marks in one minute!!! Why? Because we are undersized in all 3 contests. Lazarro, Jy and Luke Mac are giving away 3-4 inches...

What garbage was that today at Marvel? Absolute zero need for it. And the players have obviously paid the idea lip service with the bizarre choices in songs. Never forget NMFC - winning games of footy is all that matters. All this other “game day experience” is all just fluff. Absolutely...

NMFC was obviously blessed during the 90's & my word, it was an absolute delight to watch it first hand. 1993 to 2000 remains the highlight of my youth for that reason. In the end, it was simply due to the extreme talent we had on our list being guided by a no-nonsense coach, who knew how to...

Anyone know what our average pressure rating has been this year? And how it compares to the other 17 teams? It’s by far the most disappointing aspect of our 2023 season as far as I’m concerned.

Joined NMFC in 2013 in player development. Over this time, how many players have significantly improved??? Particularly of late. Is Brown’s position safe? His name is just never mentioned.

We won't break 10K - you can take that to the bank. Will we get less than the 8,600 that attended Round 1, 1993???? I think there's every chance.

It was with great dismay on Friday when myself & fellow BF posters Onip, Clokey, Mr Inappropriate & Zondor looked at our back 6 and realised that it was basically made up of other club discards: Hall, Atu, Walker, Corr & Young....... McKay being the only home grown talent and the only serious...

Scott and Cam Joyce left our list in an absolute mess. They’re gone now, but as supporters, we’re left to munch on a s**t sandwich.

The Daw delisting is starting to look like a bit of a balls up. Sure, Daw didn't end up being the player he promised to be, but gee, he would've been handy this year. With Taz gone for a big chunk of the season, Daw would've been handy down back. With Larkey STRUGGLING as our number 1...

Wonder what these 2 guys are thinking of the mess our list is in 12 mths after their departure?

Loving our 2020 game plan out of defence - The Slow Switch. I’d love to know whether it’s coach-driven or not. Just not sure if it will stand up in the finals though.

What a mess Brad Scott and Cam Joyce have left our list in. Hopefully those at the club who persisted with these two, way past their expiry date, feel a touch of guilt and responsibility. Sure, we’ve had injuries this season, but the cupboard is bare and it’s going to take years to re-stock.

Round 3: Marley Williams not picked when Papley was our biggest danger. Round 5: Selecting an obviously injured Ben Cunnington Round 6: Selecting Tom Campbell to play as a key forward (a role he has never successfully fulfilled before) against a team renowned for their leg-speed off half-back...

We have struggled for years because of the basic principle that our ability to effectively move the ball quickly and effectively on a regular basis is poor, and our ability to regularly * the oppositions ball movement, particularly off half-back, is poor. Until we change these two areas...

If NMFC trades/recruits any midfield types who lack serious pace, then the club can get stuffed. 20 years of mid-sized, mid-paced, mid-skilled midfielders and look where it's got us. I've had it.

I don't care who we play, and where it's played, but please Rhys, have this team mentally & physically prepared to play quality football as of round 1 next year. 20 years since we've played in a GF. 3 Preilims in 20 years of which we were competitive in only one of them. Enough is enough...

Wins like last night really are bitter sweet. Over the last decade, we’ve thumped very few sides. It would be nice to have wins like that EARLY in a season. Not in a dead rubber. I’m not a subscriber to the notion of “it’s important to finish a season off well”. Winning the last few games of a...

Pittard - Has been more than serviceable. Has probably exceeded my expectations as a defender. Big TICK from me. Polec - Has shown glimpses but nothing more. Has shown he can be a wonderful left foot kick, but he has no right foot. And is purely an outside player (which is fine because that's...

Jack Z, Cunners, Ahern, LDU, J mac, Luke Mac, Dumont, Hrovat…… That's a lot of one-paced footballers I reckon. Essendon got us on the spread with their run & carry & we will continue to be exposed on that front if we don't address this decade-long issue. I'm hoping like hell it gets sorted over...

We've played 8 games at Marvel this year, and in the first quarters of those matches, collectively, we've kicked 22 goals, 36 behinds!!! Obviously the weather can't be blamed. And a few of those inaccurate first quarters have ultimately cost us the match. Any thoughts as to why our kicking...

I’m more than bemused by this obsession of the club to land Horse Longmire as our next coach. Simple question - How the hell does the club know he is the best man for the job when we haven’t interviewed any other candidates??? Seriously. WTF? Sure, he may in fact be the best candidate, but he...

God I hope not. But my gut says it will.

WTF has happened to Higgins left foot kicking? I would say he has kicked on his left 15 times this year, and I can’t recall one of them going more than 30 metres. And I reckon 9-10 of them have dribbled along the ground!!!! And like his teammates, his first reaction now is to handball!! We are...

Is not looking so good.

After round 11, 2018, Wayne Carey made the call, “There’s no reason why North Melbourne can’t win the flag.” Since then we’ve lost 15 out of 20 games with an average losing margin of 32 points. Staggering fall from grace for NMFC.

Imagine the Board comes out and extends Scott’s contract as a “sign of solidarity” to shut down the media........

Is the club organising an event to commemorate 20 years since the 1999 Premiership? Or is the club caught up in cultural diversity programs, anti gambling campaigns, selling raffle tickets, engaging its fans via social media etc?

iF we die pick him up, the one GUARANTEE would be he’d play the first few games he was available for, no matter whether he was ready, whether it made sense or whatever. This current NMFC football dept has ALWAYS been absolutely hell-bent on playing new recruits early, and for extended periods...

Why did NMFC show Waite (a genuine ripping forward who caused major headaches for the opposition) the door, to then play Tom Campbell as a 2nd tall forward????? Am I missing something? I’d understand moving Waite on if Wood and/or Larkey were getting a crack up forward. But Tom Campbell...

"Yeah look. We know Fremantle are a quality side & they'd be eager to do well in front of their home crowd. We expected that. And we know that any team coached by Ross Lyon will be up for the fight, and unfortunately, we just weren't able to match them in certain areas today. You know. We won...
