    Favourite North Games?

    A few games that got me out of my seat hugging and high-fiving strangers: North V Carlton Rd 3, 2004 - We had kicked 11.0 at one stage, Carlton came back but a young Wells kicks the sealer on the boundary from about 52m. North V Richmond Rd 11, 2003 - Jason McCartney's return and retirement...

    Game Day Community Series. North Melbourne v wc Saturday 1/3/25 Bunbury WA

    Weirdly more confident that we'll put in a decent performance in round 1 after watching that. Dominated territory, dictated ball movement and showed maturity (and the patience and skill to match) that I haven't seen in years. There are too many factors at play that could've easily changed this...

    Game Day North intraclub blue vs pink 15/2/25 at 10am

    Firstly just want to say apologies for the seriously long post. Was just meant to be a couple of words on each of the players, but I couldn't help myself... Now I know this was mostly against a VFL side and our seconds, so I'm trying not to sound too excited, but just some thoughts I had from...

    2025 - Moneyball

    Wow can't believe you posted something like this because a few weeks ago I had a similar thought. So similar infact that I wrote down the following list in the Notes app on my phone back in early December (wasn't going to post it when I tabled it up, but now I've got a use for it thanks to your...

    Training 2025 Training Updates | Standards are… TBC

    I feel there are some parallels between Colby and Finn Callaghan. Both pick 2's, both overshadowed by Reid and JHF respectively, and as a result have gone a bit under the radar compared to their pick 1 counterparts both in the media and on field. They both could (imo) end up having as good if...

    Fixture 2025 fixture

    I wouldn't worry too much about fixture difficulty at this point of time. Things change, teams rise and fall unexpectedly throughout the course of a season, and the initial difficulty doesn't always match the actual difficulty after the season has finished. I mean just look at these articles...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

    If we land him, his leadership and experience will be worth its weight in gold (massive understatement) for basically our whole squad:

    Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

    Thank you for all the videos noobermensch! I love draft time and seeing the up and coming talent, but would be starved of footage without your wonderful work. But can I just say, is anyone else as keen on Berry as I am? I think he would be the most, or up there as my most wanted player from...

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - [The Age] Jy's mgmt have sounded clubs out about their interest in Jy as he wants more midfield time

    There's right/fair ways to show physical dominance and aggression and then there's dumb, morale sapping ways. I love Jy's physicality and courage, his willingness to put his body on the line and do the hard stuff. But that has nothing to do with the random silly acts that show a lack of...

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - [The Age] Jy's mgmt have sounded clubs out about their interest in Jy as he wants more midfield time

    Have a look at what Jy does just after Duursma's screamer. Gives a nice drive-by in the stomach to Balta who was standing on the mark. I'm actually surprised a free wasn't given because we know they have been plenty of times in the past. Needs to pull his head in regarding these sorts of...

    Player Watch #34: Jackson Archer - will miss entire 2026 season after tearing ACL at training on Saturday 10/1

    Wow, did not see this coming at all, will put up my hand and say he was one I definitely did not think would make it, and may have gotten drafted off the back of his name more than anything else. If I recall during his draft year, seemed like an okay small/med defender who was decent at...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    Didn't say he's had a great year, pretty ordinary for what he's capable of. But it's too simplistic to look at stats in isolation like this when trying to determine a players' value. Is he worth a second rounder based on just those stats? Maybe. Is anyone getting Max King for just a second...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    C'mon guys. Not sure if serious? Would we give up a pick 1 for Max King? Who knows. Would the saints accept just pick 1 for him? No f***n way. You're talking about a key forward under 24 years old, yet to hit his prime, averaging 2.5 goals a game in the past two seasons. He would completely...

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw

    So happy to have this wonderkid playing for us! Can't recall a more maniacal player in my time watching football. If he has a career that is mostly uninhibited from here on in, he probably has the chance of being considered a legend (club...and possibly league). This is the kid who brought...
