    Autopsy Autopsy V Carlton

    Someone asked me about the footy yesterday and I said I didn't go. I wasn't there. It was a relief to say that even though it wasn't true. I suddenly realised how good the AFL drug policy really is. I didn't even need to fake an excuse. The problem is I'm already looking forward to going against...

    Preview Changes v Carlton [Good Friday Superclash]

    No changes makes sense given they only played 2 quarters last week. They should be filthy letting Freo off the hook and aiming to pump Carlton tomorrow. Seeing what roles Dursma, Sheez and Colby play is more interesting that getting panties in a twist over who is 22nd, 23rd player selected...

    From the Age article about St Kilda. The Scoop by Sam McClue The club cleared more than $2 million from its total player payments at the end of last year when it allowed Jade Gresham to join Essendon, Nick Coffield to join North Melbourne and Jack Billings to join Melbourne. The scoop? The...

    The problem with lying is it tends to get messy. What treatment does the medical team give the player who suffered a late "ankle injury" before the game. Do they strap it up or is it straight into the moonboot? How long does the charade continue?

    Opinion Is this rock bottom?

    Rock bottom was 2021 losing to the Bulldogs by 121 points when Josh Bruce kicked 10 goals Since then we've been in rehab, progressing well with the occasional relapse. 3rd quarter yesterday was as bad as it gets but Ive sat through 4 quarters of that many times over the last few years...

    Game Day Game Day: NMFC v Freo, Marvel Stadium, 1:45pm

    Carn North. Cant wait to go to the game today and see our young team live for the first time in 2024. This feels like one of those games that becomes a "I was there when...." game. I was was there when what, is the question? The day the dynasty started or the day....? I think Northball will get...

    NO TROLLS Racism Bombshell Claim - Carlton and Essendon Named

    True. And it proves the point it wasn't accepted by mainstream society back then or it wouldn't have been "edgy" or "funny" enough for comedic material

    NO TROLLS Racism Bombshell Claim - Carlton and Essendon Named

    There was more racism in the 80s than now. But it wasn't rampant or accepted like some are claiming. If it was, there would be 100s of players named and lots of coaches. But there's not. You would need to re-watch a hundred Chanell 7 games to hear any racist commentary. It's easy to fact check...

    NO TROLLS Racism Bombshell Claim - Carlton and Essendon Named

    I don't know about the legals but I hope Jimmy and Phil get a massive payout for all the abuse they copped. For those under 40 don't believe anyone who says it was normal or accepted to racially abuse people in the 80s. It was much more common but never accepted by everyone. There would be a...

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    Nah zoomba. Its just tribal footy stuff where another club's misfortune is as good as your own club having a win. Only 1 club can win the prize each year so fans get a lot of joy seeing other clubs suffer. I wouldn't take any commentary on a footy forum as having any more depth than...commentary...

    Unofficial Preview Round 1 Vs Giants - Saturday March 16

    On average 50% of teams lose their second game of the season so we are half a chance.

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    Happy for Clarko to get fined and Jimmy Webster should pay it. Caro, Barret and Robbo go to work every week on panels of exclusively straight white people. In some weird form of apartheid, indigenous folk have their own tv show on a different station. Would be good to see them create a work...

    Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson - dropped vs Geelong

    I'm happy knowing that as Stevo transitions into a underperforming older player, he's much a better than our previous generation of under performing older players ..

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    Clarkson accused Jimmy of being a c___sucker. Ross Lyon says they accept the charges. Ross the boss knows.

    Just happen to be in LA today celebrating the lunar new year with remnants of the commie hating south Vietnamese army riding Harley's in dresses. Life is strange. Life is good.
