    Coach Alastair Clarkson III - new NMFC senior coach until at least end 2027 - NMFC board approved AC to start 1/11 amid ongoing HFC racism investigation

    I understand the downplay of expectations, however remember Clarkson was adamant that he would not be choosing a club that he could not see getting to a flag ( or words thereabouts). So he obviously sees something good in our list as it stands now. Something that most of the commentators are not...

    Prediction Sonja Hood

    Watching 'The Round So Far' this morning, Kane Cornes could help himself from taking a fair swipe at Sonia and the club. We are celebrating because now we have hope. He reckons we have nothing. These next few years are gearing up to be the nineties. Can't wait !! On SM-G965F using BigFooty.com...

    Well Done Sonia Hood - handled this like an absolute professional

    Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarksons.

    Fair call. Just wondering what the 'strings' are. Maybe it is just terms and length of contract.

    Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarksons.

    Sounds to me like the AFL would want Clarkson coaching us and putting two and two together with the absolute media pile on of recent months even after our win against the Tiges, our compensation will come in the form of assistance for Clarko's ridiculous salary of $ 1.6M. Which if Clarkson...

    Autopsy North Melbourne WINS vs Richmond. Get in here.

    For some reason you would think the media are doing their best to try and get us to implode. Maybe to force us to bow our collective heads and silently accept having our club ravaged to create a team in Tasmania. Not sure. More reason than ever to support the club. On SM-G965F using...

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    I think the other one, that took the wind out of him was Nankervis. On SM-G965F using BigFooty.com mobile app

    Prediction Sonja Hood

    Ok that makes a bit of sense thanks. I am a fan of her so far.

    Prediction Sonja Hood

    She sounds genuine, motivated and certainly capable. Excellent interview. And probably very lucky that we have her as our president right now. Willing to listen, process and implement with a philosophy of inclusion. Just not quite sure what to make of her saying that in her heart she knows that...

    Past Coach NMFC Senior Coach - David Noble has parted ways with NMFC

    Not every assistant coach has aspirations to be the head coach. It is a different ball game these days. Blakey may well be a very successful assistant and be happy to play that role only.

    Bye Bye Nobles

    There might be. If Nobes is not our man there is possibly one coach that has the brains, experience and desire to take 'any' coaching job to get back involved in the game. Enter JAMES HIRD !!

    Bye Bye Nobles

    I think this is about leadership, in particular on gameday. It would appear that Noble is doing most things right. He says the team is working on the small wins, the progress, the big picture etc. Which is how it should be. Performance by Design is about mindfulness, committment and direction...

    Autopsy North lose to the Crows

    This is a great convo. Having listened to a few of Paul Roos's podcasts, he is about mindfulness, being in the moment and enjoyment. So there is certainly a disconnect somewhere here. It appears that gameday strategy is lacking and combined with strict accountability is stifling the players from...

    Opinion Is this rock bottom?

    I agree, I think it is structural, partly. But I also think a lot of this is mental. Remember that Richmond were average at best until they developed the 'mindfulness' system. They then looked like this amazing team that was out and out full of champions. The bombers were similar in 1993. They...

    Autopsy North lose to the Crows

    Agree. I had backed Noble until today also, but this loss is absolutely soul destroying. The players are playing like they are all under so much pressure that they cannot relax into the game. Hack kicks, lack of run etc it all is adding up to a playing group that is too scared to take risks and...
