Okay. Given the death watch that is occurring on here I thought it would be good to run a bit of a table to really wallow in the misery. I like to think I'm a realist with this footy club but I also think that this game can change quickly (our form against Sydney was enough to beat plenty of...

I thought as we approach the 2021 season it might be fun to put a thread out there with a slightly different take. What I'm after here is not so much the players you think are ready to explode onto the scene (LDU for example) or those that you're most excited to see play good football (Thomas...

I didn’t think I’d do something like this but as the moment has come I wanted to share a very little about my Grandfather who passed away today, a few years shy of his 100th. We have a heap of stories - because he loved telling them. I'll share a few now.. as he got older they generally become...

Shameful that one hasn't been created yet. For mine, besides the obvious of our good form last week there is sneaky possibility that suddenly being pushed hard by St Kilda wasn't the disgrace that we all predicted.

It's bloody nice supporting a team that is leaving nothing on the field at the moment (win, lose or draw). Just curious: Who else is walking around at the moment like they were just in a bit of a dustup with Chuck Norris and Superman - but decided to take it easy on them when they realised how...

Okay, bear with me while I go to rant world. Received our membership packs yesterday (myself and 8 year old son) and I was torn between angry and dumbfounded at how poorly thought out they were. For a club that is industry leading in many social aspects we are horrifically blind in other areas...

I thought as we approached JLT & Round 1 it might be interesting to get people’s thoughts on positions that are now up for further competition with some new arrivals and development from within. I’m not looking only at round 1 but by the same token I’m interesting in how the team will evolve...

Been looking over our list changes and development in the last couple of years and it struck me that this appears to be the best balanced playing list we've had in a long time, potentially in Brad's entire time. Not saying this is our best 22 in that time, yet - I do think we've had stronger...

Anyone else have any out there ones for this year. I picked up a multi today: Coll Syd Ess WC Mel NM Which was a lazy $200 from $5 but the fun ride for the year is the North Melbourne VFL & AFL premiership combo. Put down about $5 at the start of the year for a return of around $50k... it's...

Think we're now at the point where we need to get serious. So has anybody given any thought to which numbers we could allocated to these guys? #4 obviously is taken for Dusty so consideration required on alternatives. Did Phil Kelly play with the number 6? Even chance that might be available...

Just having a think about the remainder of the year now that finals are off the cards. I was wondering what some of our more learned footy types might like to see out of the list for the remainder of the year in order to maximise the gains possible from the remainder of season 2017 and use this...

So given the context of the season. The gulf in ladder position and just how dominant Adelaide had been... was that the best quarter of football North have played in a H&A game? I noticed on the club feed they referred to it as our 3rd or 4th best ever but personally I rate massively holding a...

Have a 5 way multi live. North-Carl-St K- WC- Rich. $10 to win $5700. They're offering me $850 now.... Opinions?

Is there a more poorly adjudicated rule in the entire game? I'd say there are on average only 1-2 of these a game at most and they rarely get it right. I watched 1.5 games today and saw to absolutely clear cut frees go against the player who stayed on his feet. It is a waste of time having this...

Reading up on our apparent movements regarding Kelly, Martin, Fyfe and Heeney last year has had me pondering a few things over the last couple of days and I thought it was worth putting them in a new thread. I'll try to be succinct however irrespective of whether we land any or all of the first...

Come one come all. Despite my warnings I've continued to experience antagonism in other threads, to avoid derailing I've created this one. Anybody that feels the need to cop it can do so. B Tron = More like the remake than the original.

I’ve been having a look over our fixture and trying to look at the season with a great big dollop of Devil’s Advocate. Personally I think it would take an injury run as bad or worse than this year to see us completely hit the bottom of the ladder (or some ultra aggressive team selection that...

I know it's early - but I need a lift. Leaving aside the players we get back from injury / hopefully less injury affected (Goldstein, Cunnington, Wright, McDonald, Higgins - whoever else we don't know about), what are the biggest positives for you for next season? I have to admit I've kind of...

I know it's slightly premature with a final to go but I think it is worthwhile having a look at where we went wrong that we can fix over an off season (rather than stuff that relies on a few years of rebuilding). Win or lose in Adelaide we still need to get to the point of being capable of...

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else but I saw this on the weekend - got a feeling it was in the Saints / GWS game but I watched a few and not 100% certain. Anyway, long story short: Player takes mark under a bit of attention, teammate comes in to remonstrate a bit while the player is...

Anyone who doesn't want to hear this story again, do yourself a favour and do not, under any circumstances visit the NMFC.COM.AU site.

How good is this? Four day weekend with North Melbourne's rampage towards a 5th premiership commencing smack bang in the middle of it. Besides the Premiership, what is the one thing you want to see most out of the year as a North Melbourne supporter? For mine, I want to get to the end of the...

I reckon I've hit the like button with a stupid grin on my face at something approaching a 6000% increase over my previous rate ever since just before the first Elimination final. Anyone else finding Bigfooty - as in real life - a magical land of blue and white rainbows? P.S. Any boss that...

So, given their erratic judgements this year based on AFL policy and apparent black and white definitions of force that change completely from incident to incident along with several highly controversial and successful appeals for the first time in years. Is it safe to say that the MRP is...

So, decided to watch a replay of the Scum game last night (sober) and made the effort to savour it and wade through the pre-game and all. Something jumped out at me and wanted a few opinions. I've always thought of Brad Johnson as a reasonably affable, slightly annoying but mostly honest bloke...

One of the greats. Hope all of you are enjoying it as much as me. Just about to hit the replay.

Yeah. You know.

I had an awful dream last night that North took Essendon apart in the round 1 game... and I somehow managed to miss the game. Woke up very annoyed that I had to read about the best round 1 game in years in a crappy paper.

That decided GWS v Dogs would be ripper and well worth having on FTA TV in Melbourne (or anywhere?) I'll be at the game anyway but seriously, all this talk about how we need the Big 4 double ups each year to make TV money and this is the rubbish that they put up...

There's one that I've just about reached the end of my tether with. Player kicks a goal and the commentators mentioning as they interchange that it's the done thing nowadays. It's been happening that way for almost a decade now and they've commented on it almost every week. I. Don't. Care...
