My family has moved seats this year and we are now on the Esplanade side of Marvel (entering Gate 8). For years we have parked in Crombie Lane (off Lonsdale st) as it was only $10 and you get out reasonably easily. However, it's now too far to walk across the bridge and all the way around to the...

Surely someone must be held responsible for the PR Disaster that has been dubbed 10,000 post-gate. The closing of the original, best and only Sympathy for *Essendon thread has sent shockwaves through the NM BF board and the wider BF community. A source close to the mods involved had this to say...

Does anybody else think this team is a strong chance to go over the 1.5 wins line currently on offer at $2.50 at sportsbet? We've had some pretty sh*tty sides in the comp but in the last 20 years only Fitzroy (1996) have finished the season with less than 2 wins to their name As a consequence...

... Worth a look? Sorry, someone had to do it [emoji14]

So I saw this post on my facebook wall this morning talking about Melbourne's sh!teful drafting and how they could have had a midfield of Dangerfield, Fyfe and Parker kicking to the likes of Riewoldt, Tippett etc. if they had picked different players. Now obviously, captain hindsight is always...

Against Melbourne... Greenwood - 30 possessions, 8 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goals, 2 behinds Ziebell - 24 possessions, 9 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goals, 1 behind (i'm counting the score review one) Gibson - 25 possessions, 8 marks, 4 tackles Harvey - 28 possessions, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal Swallow - 17...

Didn't see a thread yet so I'll kick us off... Negatives: Triple towers - was hoping they would bring back our forward line of 2013 but they sucked. Black junked it up after Rutten moved on to him in Q4 but got a massive bath from Otten for the first 3 quarters, the other two offered nothing...

Became a player sponsor for the first time in Feb. It is now May and the BF Gold Subscription that was supposed to be part of the sponsor benefits still has not been applied. What's the deal?

Since we all sucked (with the possible exception of DangerSloane) in the first attempt, let's have another crack at it. Rules are the same as the first thread - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-2014-20-challenge.1051843/ - with the exception that this one starts from Round 9 (i.e...

Means absolutely nothing. What a wasted opportunity

Would have to be right up there with our best wins under Scott IMO

Just looking at the Top 50 rankings compiled by the players and it got me wondering... Which North player(s) are going to step up and demand a spot amongst the truly elite (top 20) for North to become a contender? It seems clear from the numbers below that to win a flag, you need at least 1...

Had a number of positives and negatives to share from tonight's game and didn't want to start a thread for each so here goes... Positives - Winning the midfield battle without Swallow and Ziebell. Greenwood, Cunnington and Goldy were all excellent and Dal was very good too - Tackling! Wow did...

Hallelujah! Hopefully this will mean they will stop f'ing up the game with pointless changes http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-04/woosha-on-board-with-rules

It's game day baby! Footy is officially back :)

I know the results ended up being much closer at the end but in our two games against Geelong this year we lead by 41 points (in the 1st game) and 25 points (in the second game) after roughly 2 quarters of footy. So my question to you, BF, what does this tell us? Do we just match up well...

In a perfect conclusion (for me anyway) to the best month of the year, Mrs Jay-Z and I had our first child last night. She's only 24 hours old but I can already tell she'll be a great little North supporter and not swayed to the dark side (*) like her mum :p I've already started conditioning...

Would love to hear from people on here who have the Social Club Membership / some other package that gives you access to the Victory Room. Is it (the Victory Room) worth the extra money? Is there any player involvement in the post-match celebrations? I've normally just bought the standard GA...

Nice little fact on Sam Gibson in this article: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-23/show-stoppers Good effort to be the most effective tackler among 150 odd players. If he could get up to 3 or 4 tackles per game (currently at 2.1), it would be a real nice additional string to his bow on top...

Leadership, and in particular the captaincy has been brought up in a number of threads after the Brisbane loss. So what's the consensus? Is Spitta the right man for the job or is Jack ready to take over now (I think just about everyone thinks Ziebell will captain the club one day)?

Haven't seen the replay but saw Martin (I think) lay a pretty stupid bump at the North v Richmond game today. Watching it live it looked late (down field free was paid), high and he left the ground. Has anyone seen it? How much trouble is he in?

Was gonna post this in the Review thread but it has already dissolved into mindless whining. I hope this thread can be a place to give a few players who did everything they could yesterday a pat on the back. If you want to talk about the negatives, please use one of the 25 other threads on the...

What a t*sser!! So glad he ended up at Collywobbles. He belongs there with Eddie and his AFL stooges. We dodged a bullet with this guy. http://theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/coaches-fire-up-over-head-clash-20130331-2h1pj.html

For those who haven't seen it yet, I strongly suggest all North supporters (and indeed all football supporters) read this paper from Geelong in response to the AFL's suggestions on equalization. It is the first thing I've read that publicly addresses and breaks down a lot of the bullshit that is...

Saw this at the Queen Vic Market this morning. WTF?

Gibson - 14 disposals MacMillan - 13 Anthony - 12 Bastinac - 11 This group needs significant improvement for us to be a successful finals side. Classic case of too much left to too few today

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/134421/default.aspx What do you think?

After watching Swan win the Anzac medal yesterday I thought I'd make a spin off from the "Would Brent Stanton be in the top 7 players at most clubs" thread here: http://bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=881731 I find Swan a fascinating player. Mainly because opinions of his ability range a...

This board can be downright painful to read after a loss with all the negative nannies calling for every player to be dropped and the coach to be sacked. I've even heard a few times that we would be better off with Laidley FFS. This week has been a welcome change and I've enjoyed reading the...

I know this has probably been discussed in the past but I thought it was pertinent given Carlton are looking to finally move into the top 4 which puts them in legitimate flag contender position and Kennedy was fantastic for West Coast last year and looks like improving even more this year...
