    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    Straight swap for Max King. We'll turn him into the half back flanker we've been missing.

    Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald (Part II) - Roo til end '26 - 2023/24 co captain w/ Jy

    Agree. New toys and all but I don't want to see Hardeman or another rookie backman playing on Greene. He'd kick 10. Who else do we have (fit) who can defend on a small forward? (Serious question.)

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    My Left Foote ferball I wasn't saying it's an addiction. More that you can't expect that patterns of thinking and acting that have developed over years are hard to change. If someone does a change programme then is put into the same circumstance, it's not surprising if they revert to their old...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    Without any inside knowledge, I would guess it's like many people with an addiction problem. They may genuinely want to change and you can try to help. There is a chance they will change the behaviour and a chance they'll relapse. They may go through a stack of cycles of this before making...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    One of my neighbours has a dog named Karma. When I heard that I mostly thought about "my karma ran over your dogma" jokes but, later, another neighbour was calling Karma "he" and I had to inform him that Karma is a bitch. Boom - tish! Felt clever for a nanosecond, then realised I was probably...

    Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher - Rd9 AFL Rising Star Nominee

    I was thinking we should draft Duck's dog then .. but remembered the min draft age is 18. Sadly, his best footy will probably be behind him by then.

    Well done. I have a mate who did it in 3:13 too and there's some video of him at the finish line. I'll have to scan it for anyone in North colours.

    You can call it that. IMO Reid + Curtin would be a better result than McKercher + Duursma.

    Sorry if this has been posted ad nauseum (but I can't be bothered with trade scenarios longer than about 3 lines). I'd be ok with trading with WC and Godees: We give 2 + 3, get 1 + 6 Godees give 6 + 11, get 3 WC put up 1, get 2 + 11 Draft Reid and whoever is left out of Curtain and Watson.

    Are people not liking this because there's no way in hell WC would do it or because they want all of the toys now? It's 2, 3 and 20-something for 1 and 1-3. It'd be daylight robbery.

    This. Especially if they're wearing headphones, blocking the course, oblivious to others. If you're with your pace group it can help with getting through.

    Agree. I don't think father sons are unfair. We just haven't done as well out of them as some other teams. If we had some guns from the rule we wouldn't be whingeing about it (and there's no reason we won't get some in the future). And we'd be ropeable if we had some and weren't able to recruit...

    100%. The noise they're making about Reid should be about drumming up as many R1 picks for #1 as possible. Their list is so thin for young talent. Maybe we should be too. Assuming we add Stephens and Fisher cheaply, I'd rather we came home from the trade / draft period with at least 2 KPPs, a...

    Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

    And it's not like you can get a John Platten, Barry Hall, Callan Ward, Tim English or a Jacob Van Rooyen for a sh!te pick like 19, either.

    Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald (Part II) - Roo til end '26 - 2023/24 co captain w/ Jy

    I think sophistry requires intent. I think that Mav probably believes what he writes, at least most of the time. CM, if you're looking for some consistency in his posting, he whips players where he thinks others are talking them up, and defends this one in particular where he thinks others are...

    Haha. I did it too. Didn't beat the train this year either as I am not too fit at the moment. It is fun. The train whistle echoes through the hills so it sounds like it is just behind you even when it isn't. Then you have to bolt for the crossings before they close when the train passes. You...

    The 400 repeats would be good but 400m recovery between them is a bit long imho. Definitely jog the recoveries.
