My first thread for about 10 years!
Not sure if this has been done but I’m keen to follow the astute posters from here on Twitter, and thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where people can follow other North fans. List yours below. PM for mine
With the advent of an 18 team competition, we are seeing games played all over the place from 1.10pm to traditional 2pm (ish) to 3.30pm to 4.40pm as well as 5.40pm (ish) in the west, then the night games. I wondered what people thought of morning games - for example 11am starts?
Sure there is...
I'm sure you guys are all over this but...

North Melbourne has delisted Cameron Richardson ahead of the AFL’s second list lodgement date today.
The club is committed to selecting him in the upcoming AFL...
Ok, I understand we can use this at any time over the next 5? years.
My question is, at what point do we have to nominate our intention? That is, do we have to say before the draft whether we are using it or not or can we say mid-draft we don't want it. For example if we pick someone up...
Player manager Ricky Nixon has urged North Melbourne to stop procrastinating and to make up its mind on the future of ruckman David Hale.
Hale, who is still under contract, is being courted by Hawthorn and Melbourne, both of whom have put trade deals to the Kangaroos.
Nixon believes the...
During the closing stages of the Brisbane-Carlton game, I did a count as to how long defenders (in this case Brisbane) could have possession of the ball after a mark before being told to hurry up/play on.
I believe this reached farcical proportions with 2 players having 5-6 seconds from the...
Not sure if this has been reported but I just got a couple of text messages stating such

As per title.
I was at the circus last night and trying to log onto the Fox Sports site for mobile phones I had previously used for live scores but it seems to be cactus.
What sites do you guys access for live scores on your mobiles?
Cheers in advance
I thought a lot about this when Lidge passed away. It is a shame that many of us didn't have the opportunity to know a guy who touched so many lives.
I'd like to explore the idea of having a meet-up of those that frequent these parts.
The idea would be to find a restaurant as central as...
Ok, at least I made you look!
We've had the sack coach, sack captain, trade H, trade Boomer, trade Wells, delist Brown, delist Watt, recruit Phil Read and bring back Wayne Carey threads. And that was just Mad Monday.
So what about some realistic options from other clubs - guys on the...
There is a lot of emotion around this place at present but it is no excuse for the abuse being hurled around.
Please re-familiarise yourself with the board rules as per Lidge's post here: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=435886

A few observations about my first trip to AAMI
Firstly, the game. Haven't looked at stats or read posts on here so I am sure some of this will be repetition and some off the cuff.
Goldstein - Saw a couple of taps that were Spideresque. The one to Dish for goal and another to Simmo were...
Both scored similarly, both roughly the same value.
Who would you choose and why?
As much as Fev is enjoying a good season and the Volt slightly disappointing, I'm leaning toward Riewoldt to consistency sake i.e. he may not reach Fev's heights but nor will he have the bad ones Fev is proce...
For some silly reason, I have ended up with Nick Stevens on the midfield bench (with Cale Morton) so thought I'd trade him and add beef to another line.
Anyway, had a look and the choices are very thin in the midfield. Also, after a couple of healthy weeks with Urquhart, Myers, Neagle...
Does it deserve its own thread? Probably not...
But I am livid. I have never seen so many indecisive disposals
Time and time again, second and third options begin the pressure build up that almost always results in a turnover.
Not the coaches fault - unless he doesn't drum it into their...
Dear All
To coincide with this sad day of Lidge's funeral, there will be a one minute's silence for our great mate Lidge tonight at 7.30pm
This is just a small token for a person who touched many a heart on BigFooty, particularly on the North board where he was instrumental in the battle...
Now that we've had a couple of days to calm down....
Despite the two losses, I'm actually very happy with our structure down back. I reckon Spud, Pratt and Gibbo are teaming well and Petrie in the main CHB spot adds stability. Take your pick of any 2 to fill the running back flank or pocket...

Ok, it's been a big year and my better half is going to reward me with a new set of golf clubs.
I play about once a month if I am lucky, and dont require bag or buggy or any other accessories.
Budget is around $400 but can stretch for the right deal. Any suggestions welcome.

I just wanted to acknowledge the generous support by fans and members of other clubs to our current cause
I just received a PM from a BF Mod from another club who had purchased a North Melbourne membership. I won't embarrass her in name but this is the third person I know of that has bought a...
As is now common knowledge, Hearts to Hearts is handing in her Mod badge.
First of all, on behalf of all board members, a huge thank you for a job well done over the years :thumbsu:
Secondly, a new mod is now required. Given that our board is one of the busiest on BF, my recommendation to...
A big no-no
I think we are bigger than publishing home phone numbers of board members
For that reason, the offending thread was deleted.
Please refrain from doing so again
Well done Jeremy
Secondary competition but can't help but think he would have been a solid contributor at senior AFL level
Congrats all the same :thumbsu:
My sources can reveal that a Herald-Sun writer, believed to be one, Scott Gullible masquerades as a cross-dressing transvestite after hours. One Herald-Sun insider who did not wish to be named said "yes, it is true, and he leaves his high heels and lipstick in full view and does not hide his...

Just been reading the main board as well as the Drafts board and must say I admire and even have a sense of pride at how the North BF crew hunt in packs and support each other.
