I thought that North had made a wrong decision at the expense of the footy club when it sacked TT, but I have now completely changed my mind on that. The catalyst was actually Ferball's account of what a mate of his had told him about TT having been busted for physically assaulting a woman two...

Until recently I was confident that TT would have the choice of at least 3 clubs to land him another big contract starting in 2025, but this new major anti violence against women movement has come at the worst possible time for him. The media had been quite positive about him returning to the...

I can't see us ever improve by trading for rejects from other clubs. When was the last time that really worked? Obviously bringing in quality RFAs would help, but they won't come to our shitshow. I don't know why we have virtually totally ignored category B rookies. Carlton is already in Ireland...

I've shifted from disappointed to angry during/after the latest debacle. I thought we'd see progress with the high number of high draft picks we have accumulated, but it appears we are actually worse than last year. Are we officially worse than Fitzroy at their lowest point yet? How is it...

The Didak incident was about drink driving charges that involved Heath Shaw that they lied to the club about, but that was only one of several separate incidents he had been involved in over a period of time including the matter you referred to, as well as when he was arrested and locked up for...

Totally agree that North has made many decisions that have not been in the best interest of the club. A football club is in the business of winning football matches and championships. Nothing should distract from that. This North BF Board has a significant number of vocal woke members, so this...

I've calmed down a bit after that horror show. You keep on fronting up with that little bit of false hope that you'll see an improved performance, but within 10 minutes you know you were just kidding yourself AGAIN! It is deflating to see your club actually regress from already extreme lows. We...

I hope the selectors start to show a ruthless streak. An "over my dead body" mentality is as important as ability to survive in the AFL. We have too many fair weather players who aren't up to AFL requirements. It doesn't matter how much money they are on, if the mentality is wrong send them to...

He'll be in trouble, but the word is most commonly used to call someone a pussy or something similar to get them riled up and is quite rarely used in a literal homophobic sense, same as the word Clarko used. The woke AFL however will make a politically correct major issue out of this whereas it...

It'll be interesting to see if West Coke swallow their pride and apply for assistance at the end of this season. I think it is highly unlikely that they will win more than 3 games this year, which will likely mean that they will finish last or equal last. That would make their record over the...

The "now" is hardly irrelevant when we need to become competitive. Longer term he won't be here. Greenwood can also be rotated through the midfield, particularly around stoppages. At times we've been getting mauled in the midfield because we've lacked a bigger body there. He's already done it...

I know I watch games though blue and white coloured glasses, but I don't think I've ever witnessed a game with so many inconsistent decisions that overwhelmingly went against one team/North. I don't know what my neighbours must think of me when all I seem to be doing is screaming obscenities at...

As disappointing as the collapse was, we can take positives out of the game. We now know that Northball can be devastatingly effective, but we need to have more strings to our bow to win games because Northball is aerobically very demanding. When we were on in the first half, it was mesmerising...

Great half but we became very sloppy in the last 10 minutes. Those three set shot misses in a row hurt us. We should be 6 goals in front, but instead Freo will feel they are still in it. Loving what I've seen, but we need to repeat it for another half. We have so many good players today that its...

I am LOVING Northball and I'm LOVING the intensity. LDU cool as a cucumber to pick the right handball to set up the first two goals of this quarter. Xerri giving Jackson a bath this quarter. If we keep this up the footy media will be talking about us. The only worry is that Freo is getting a...

One thing that stood out to me watching the game on the tele was how positive the commentators were about North, even when at times we were overrun by a very good GWS. I'm just not used to anyone having anything positive to say about North in either mainstream or social media. At times it seemed...

Our winning run had to come to an end at some point and after 6 months and 3 weeks we've finally tasted defeat again. A mixture of positives and negatives. At times it looked like men against boys with GWS almost doing as they pleased when moving the ball into attack. They were very dominant...

Yes, Boomer's record needs to be preserved. It should have been out of sight with 450+ or even 470+ games but for the DH list managers we had at that time. I'm still filthy with them.

Giving Mum and Dad the good news:

Giving Mum and Dad the good news.

Yup.

I think they do have an advantage, not just for R1, but also for the season overall. I think the extra match fitness from having played an extra game and a proper competitive game with 4 points up for grabs is significantly beneficial. That advantage is likely to be even greater against North...

Amazing win. That dropped dolly of a catch of Marsh hurt the Kiwis badly. After the loss of Head early today we would have been very long odds to pull the win off. Carey hasn't been reliable, but he came through for us today. Cummins once again proving that he needs to bat above Starc. He has...

I guess not today. I wonder how much he is regretting nominating for the vacant opener job? 279 was always going to be very challenging, but from 2 for 22 it is unlikely. We've not been good at chasing reasonable 4th innings scores and our batting has looked quite brittle ever since Smith and...

If he is playing CHF today he can replace CCJ for R1. At least he'll provide a contest. I reckon Greenwood is significantly underrated by many supporters. He was important in our three wins last year.

And very importantly for a club like North, he hits the scoreboard. I hope he makes another statement in the VFL practice game today that he is a must for R1.

Storm in a teacup, but the media has to whip up outrage about the despicable Alistair Clarkson. They have to go back 11 years to show that he will never change. Jimmy is the only one with a bit of common sense on that panel and I had expected better from Lloyd. Clarko has just seen his captain...

Webster and St Kilda however didn't accept the price of his in my opinion deliberate dog act as they said they would before the hearing. They had even said there was no defence for what he had done, but then fought The AFL's decision of 8 weeks with a counter of 4 weeks. They even argued the...

The low-life got 7 weeks. Had hoped for at least 8, so now he'll be available to play against us in round 8, but no chance he'll be selected. Even the Saints aren't that stupid. Apparently the Saints argued for a 4 week suspension. So much for being reasonable and copping it sweet.

Good win. The Kiwis have a good batting line up and didn't make 200 in either of their innings. Normally Lyon would be an easy choice for player of the match with his 10 for 108 for the match, but surely they give it to Green who was the actual difference between the teams.
