    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    Aarg, I am weak so I'm responding. Can anyone who's sad that TT might be on another list in '25 with no perk thrown NMFC's way ask themselves this... can you imagine alternative realities where TT acted EXACTLY the same, SO FAR, but was still on oir list? If you can then we could discuss our...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    my belief is this. You cannot own the game, creating the rules and the punishments, and complain when the doling out the discipline. You think TT wanted be on "chances", think he wanted behavioural monitoring, you think he designed his program, etc etc. The power inbalance makes the tears...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    I dunno. When the U.S.A. said the weapons inspectors had x amount of time to get x amount of co-operation from Saddam's Iraq and then when x wasnt met they started killing people.. was the killing inevitable? WE set the terms, WE made the judgement, WE terminated the relationship. Anyone...

    Our hands were tied? Hardly. We painted ouselves into a corner and will now reap what we sowed. Whether that was "right", worth it, good, bad or whatever.. is just a value judgement. Anyone thinking the NMFC parting ways with TT was inevitable or out of our hands should have a longer think about...

    Player Watch #20: Nick 'Souva' Larkey - '23 AA & '24 NM VC - plays game 100 v Hawthorn

    Yeah. I mean its a bloody blue moon when our forwards have space to lead into to get on the end a fairly uncontested kick.. to give him the benefit of the doubt.. maybe Larks just hasn't ever trained for it???? FFS

    Hmm ok thats a relief. Hopefully he can come in and have an impact straight away, we should be pushing for finals by then. Only thing tho, as I recall it took his old man some time to get to his final playing weight. Not to worry, by then they should have found the weights room that went missing...

    Opinion Commentary & Media VII

    Today I had to listen to afl commentary, next time if it comes to this Il'll mute that and just listen to my know all nephew wank on about social issues instead. Apparently its taboo to mention the fact that the effectiveness of ones disposal is somehow related to the quality of the options...

    Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald (Part II) - Roo til end '26 - 2023/24 co captain w/ Jy

    Wish he could start his career now under this management... and as a mid 2nd round pick. Nobody on this list puts their body on the line more than Luke. Can yoou imagine if he's there if/when we next take the cup? Would put Warnies efforts to shame.

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    Given the posession retention, or lack of, following his kicks.. could be a chance for Luke to re-aquaint himself with the humble handball. Ha, silly me that would mean this club could develope players.

    Do we still have "Blue Steel" Gibson on the payroll? Maybe he could remind Corrnhole that third man up involves actually spoiling the ******* ball. GeeeeeeZusss. Lets cross everything Arch imbeddded into his boy the joy it is Kill the pill and some fingers at the same time. Any chance Jackson...

    Play Nice The NM Devil's Chessboard Thread - Part II

    I dunno, they could have just gone opened the bidding for their scientists and requested them to experiment until they found the most efficient substance to destroy half a city and 100000 civilians in one night and never mind bothering to create "targets". How many U.S citisens had the japs...

    Preview Changes vs Brisvegas [In: Greenwood, Comben & Shiels / Out: Pink, Lazzaro & CCJ]

    HKRoo my nmfc brother, we've had a long stretch of mediocrity in the same sense that the 2019 HK protests achieved their long term goals. A turd is a turd

    He stays in, will you take a week off? Just curious, do you keep track of your punts?

    Player Watch #33: Brayden 'Sausage' George

    On No.4. I dream of the opposite. Remember his early days when Sugar was taking marks 55m out from our grindhouse's patented rushed centre square hack clearance. The Dolph would hit BB once in a while from there and it was all so, so so. Put Sausage in his place, he can take a ping and we're...

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

    It looked like we kind of tried that early days under Shaw. With the same list but different instructions we were suddenly heaping enormous pressure on oppo ball carries. Zero corralling to be seen. Of course the boys didnt have the fitness to go for 4qtr's, and there's no guarantee of ultimate...
