I'm surprised there's no thread on this infamous case. If there is, sorry, I missed it. The little girl found garroted to death in her own basement around Christmas time about 17 years ago. There was a ransom note said to be in the mother's handwriting. The little girl had been sexually...

There's an article in today's Herald Sun where based on Champion Data stats they rate our list and everyone else's. We rank 11th overall based on the age, experience and rating of our players, just ahead of St Kilda and Melbourne and just behind Richmond, Carlton and Essendon. Our defenders...

And now for something completely different - a thread that is not about our deficiencies or why we have them. Or about potential trades or trade rumours. This is a thread about our recent history. In fact Denis told the story on SEN as I was driving to the station on Saturday. He likened...

It's not news that we won by 53 points after leading for most of the night. We had 54 inside 50s to 48 and we kicked 12 -1 to 3 - 5 from stoppages. A good number of our players must have been doing OK. Despite this, the team totals for Champion Data were 1664 Carlton to 1634 us. WTF? I like to...

I normally don't visit the Collingwood website but on this occasion I just had to check my thourthes. I had told my informant that he was talking utter BS but it turned out to be the truth.:eek::eek: [ note to self: must cut down on the alcohol consumption] Here's the link if you don't...

Summer Olympics at Arden St The off-field stars at North, according to Peter Mulkearns. The entire article is on the Herald Sun website. Here is the link: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/who-are-the-best-athletes-at-your-afl-club/story-e6frf9jf-1226219469508

Once again we dominated AFL Insider. Besides having the coach talk about us and some of our plays, we got an excellent insight into the Huddle from interviews with Dr Sonja Hood, the Huddle's CEO, and one of her employees, Pedo #39. Dr Sonja mentioned the funding provided by Peter Scanlon...

I could have posted this article under Jacko57's "ironic" thread or under scottywipers "staggering article" thread, but decided it deserved it's own thread. Under the heading "wiping the debt can buy self-respect", the jolly one finishes his article in today's Australian with these three...

Last year when we were winning every second week we rarely got a mention, from the panel, except for a hurried "North won again, but how about those young Demons?" or "how poor were the opposition?" I'm betting tonight the lead vulture (Gerald 'I'm hiding my bald spot' Healy) and his ex-Swan...

In a dramatic about face Greg "Venom" Denham announced on SEN that he's "on board" at NM. He lavished praised on the off-field team and the fine work they've been doing re-positioning the club and boosting membership numbers. Then he turned to the players. He said we'll make the 8, that...

Today my laptop was invaded by Smart Engine. It's a virus that tells you your computer has been invaded by all sorts of problems - spyware, trojans, etc - and invites you to pay about $100 for a solution. So it's a scam but your computer keeps getting all sorts of alert messages that...

Some posters have said some very cruel things about the Giesch and his band of merry men. However, based on two incidents yesterday, in the last 1/4 I think, it is time to bury the hatchet and invite the Giesch or maybe that chrome domed umpire Overland (who seems to like umpiring our games)...

Well almost...he didn't write the headline.;) Watching On the Couch and Kingy was quoted as saying on 3 AW tonight that we were very brave during the scuffle but after that there were several instances where our blokes weren't prepared to put their head over the footy. He went on to say...

Waiting for Gerard and Co to bang on about us for 5 minutes or so. He didn't mention us as "good losers" (Swans -naturally, Eagles and Essendon) or bad losers (Melbourne, Richmond). Sheahan jumped to Melbourne's defence with the "it's only round one" line. Now we're waiting for an...

I was going to have a look at Susan Boyle on Youtube when up pops the message below. Anyone else had this happen to them? Anyone know what it means and how I can overcome it before the start of the footy season? PS: Before today I had not heard of SonicWall, let alone purchased...

Music lovers might be interested in the complete Federal Court judgment. Here's a link to the 37 pages. Even a quick skim through will interest some people, with its references to the Qantas ad and the TV show Spicks & Specks. http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/FCA/2010/29.html...

When you have family and friends sitting together in a confined space, such as at the dinner table, and you don't have your laptop with you (so you're feeling a bit vulnerable), you might wish to get some lively conversation happening. As not everyone wants to talk about the NMFC all the...

Timmy and the longwinded one announced this morning that Brad is in the SEN 1116 studio with them on Thursday morning. http://www.sen.com.au/index.php?sectionID=5412&pageID=10033 They didn't say what time but I got the impression it will be an extended presence - maybe 7.30 to 9am - and...

What a wonderful man AFL head honcho Andrew Demetriou is. He and his team have cooked up a plan to help the poorer clubs become as well off as the richer clubs, but it won't cost the richer clubs a cent. Sound too good to be true? Here's the first few short pars from the Australian...

I can't get the stats from AFL.com (there's a shock!) but it looks like David Hale is leading our goalkicking award this year, with about 20, yes ****ing 20 goals.:mad::o This prompts me to ask: Has our goalkicking award got a name, e.g. the John Dugdale Medal? Is Hale leading this...

Today's discussions on the merits of Peter Daicos and "Dids":rolleyes: reminded me that Peter Daicos tore us apart in the 3rd quarter of a North v Collingwood game at Arden St one day in the 1980s(?). IIRC, he was playing on young up and comer Doug Smith who was doing quite nicely on him when...

Dean was a guest on JB's Sunday Footy Show. He agreed with JB that we lost the game in the last 10 minutes of the first quarter and the first 10 minutes of the second quarter when Geelong kicked 9 unanswered goals. He was very impressed with the way Geelong players played to a structure...

From today's Herald-Sun (not to be missed!!:thumbsu::thumbsu:): The Living End's Chris Cheney, You Am I's Tim Rogers, Grinspoon's Phil Jamieson and Josh Pyke will perform the Beatles' 1968 album known as The White Album in full in August. "It used to terrify me as a kid, now I feel more...

Mastermind's 3rd edition on the North Melbourne site on AFL.com (in Fan Zone) has some questions on Arch for those of us who are interested. If you know the answers, go to the website and enter the competition. Question 1 Glenn Archer played in the last ever under 19's match; the 1991...

Sorry if I missed it, but are we doing player watch again this season? I had Gav and it was a pleasure to "watch" him and keep the reports going, if we're still doing it that is. I'd also be happy to hand over to someone else and nominate for someone else. There will also be players...

To whoever is responsible for the change to the icon on the AFL homepage, a BIG Thank You and well done. When you put your cursor on the icon, it now says "North Melbourne" and not "Kangaroos". We all love the Kangaroos, but when every other club is referred to on the AFL homepage icons by...

Picture the ball in our defensive goal square. It is about to be balled up. What do we want? Most of us probably want Hamish/Goldy and a third man up to line up with their backs to the centre of the ground (i.e. facing the goal they're defending) and thump the ball through for a point. The...

I do enjoy the tennis but if I have to listen to Sandy Roberts for much longer I'll throw something through the screen. Everything's got a number "that's her 9th break point. She's converted 4, that's less than 50%." Any serve that the other player can't return is "a great serve" when...

Tune into SEN,1116.

From today's HUN: Roo plans second coming Sam Edmund | January 19, 2009 12:00am ANDREW Swallow made it to the AFL because he is a tough, in-and-under clearance player who wins the hard ball. And it paid quick dividends at North Melbourne, where the West Australian's uncompromising...
