    I'll never get used to this

    Today, on the radio I heard how the Gold Coast vs Brisbane (AFL, not soccer) had a 'good crowd' of around 3000! On Saturday, we had a crowd exceeding 7000 at Ballarat. It was the biggest crowd I've seen at the ground, including VFL finals matches. No real mention of the crowd. Was that...

    Sometimes our club is so frustrating!

    I have had flights and accommodation booked in Launceston for months! I have also been attempting to get game tickets for months. Bree Hitches tells us we have to go through the Northerners. We do, and get told that the club will be posting out the tickets. My partner called the club on Tuesday...

    9.8 62 leads 4.4 28 at halftime. North Ballarat giving them a hiding in the first half. Let's hope it keeps on for the second half and inspires the North Melbourne boys to complete the double!!

    Training Today

    Had a look at training today and the boys played an intra-squad of sorts. (Not a game, with quarters etc, just played full field with some different set-ups) A few observations... A forward line with Petrie and Josh Smith looked very good with multiple goals to Smith, Thomas and Petrie. With...

    The Best part of last Friday's game was...

    watching the police arrest and drag off two Carlton supporters that were way past pissed and well on their way to unconscious! Priceless! Seriously, there were positives... Wells, Ziebell, Turtle picking up where he left off, and Anthony displaying his skills. Remember that Hamish hasn't...

    Kangaroos ready for run at the top

    NORTH Melbourne players are back in business and setting a hot pace on the training track. With only one player in rehab, it's not surprising to see smiles all round at Arden St. Football operations manager Donald McDonald said the only player still easing back into...

    Dean Laidley - My two cents...

    OK, I'll probably get hammered for this, but I've had along think and here's my two bits... With the injuries and the number of young kids brought into the senior side this year, I think it has been Dean's best year as a coach! I'm thinking it hasn't been a coincidence that the year we get...

    JWS - Hamstring a blessing?

    Obviously, no one wants a class player to suffer an injury. Seeing JWS walking around yesterday at training, I thought he was walking better than at any time this year. Perhaps the forced lay-off with the hammy could have our boy at 100% after a couple of games back and really firing at the...

    Laidley's Coaching

    All right all. I will definitely be laying off Dean for a while after sitting in the box today. Dean got upset over all of the same things that I do from week to week and he was working his donkey off (and several assistants' donkeys) to make moves and communicate his 'messages' to the boys...

    Training Today

    Almost as many press as spectators. Peaked at about 30 spectators. Laidley said Jesse Smith would play between 70 - 80% of the match. Talked about Ben Ross debut. All 22 named plus the three emergencies trained as a group. Hale ran laps and did some stretching. Several of the young guys...

    Jesse Smith Update

    Jesse did indeed kick 1.6 on saturday. Not sure how the six behinds came about, but he was named in the best and got plenty of ball. There were no injuries listed, so if he pulls up well, he should get the nod this week against Melbourne.Normally a beautiful kick and I'm sure, at worst, the 6...

    Ready..., or not?

    NORTH Melbourne's rising star Jesse Smith is on the verge of elevation to the Kangaroos line-up this week after a pre-season ruined by ankle soreness. Smith was best afield in the club's semi-final win against Hawthorn last year but the degenerative ankle condition flared...
