    Autopsy Autopsy vs Carlton

    Watched this one at home with my 15yo son and it was bloody awesome! It's been a tough sell to keep him interested over the last 10 years but yesterday was one of the most enjoyable wins I can remember. I keep reminding him that I was 15 in 1991 when we were pretty rubbish and then got to...

    Review NMFC Captain Thread

    Sort of. It’s based on 16 teams that have been significantly more successful than the next best. Collingwood’s 4 peat in the 20s (Syd Coventry) and the Hockeyroos from the mid-90s to early 2000s (Rechelle Hawkes) are the two Aussie teams that made the cut.

    Review NMFC Captain Thread

    There’s a book called The Captain Class that analyses the most dominant 20 or so sports teams in history. The author’s conclusion is that they all had skippers who weren’t the best players on the team, were generally defenders and had the following traits: #1 – Extreme doggedness and focus in...

    Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) - PART X

    Went to the * vs GCS game today and Ha ha. I went to the * vs GCS game today and the umpiring was blatantly biased towards *. Scott can whinge about a lot of things, the umpires ain’t one of them..

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - club has opened contract talks with GW - R.Beveridge says club considering 2030 deal but may offer two year extension

    Might not have gotten much of the ball but had the most tackles and most ‘pressure acts’ (whatever they are) from only 69% TOG. Out of form, yep, but a fair few should be dropped before him..

    MRP / Trib. MRP Lotto thread II

    I’m out.. cancelled my Kayo and refuse to watch this game anymore. My son’s two favourite players (Arch and PC) both rubbed out for incidents in which they should have received a free kick.. Off to watch the Stanley Cup!!!

    Player Watch #3: Harry Sheezel - 23 AFL RS/NM SBM, AFLPA BYP, '24 AA squad, '24 AFLCA BYP, '25 joint SBM winner, '26 NMFC VC

    Missed the game today. Harry picked up 26 disposals (3rd most for NM) at 84% (equal 4th) with 5 tackles (equal 2nd). I know stats can be deceiving but after reading the posts above I assumed he must have had 10 disposals at 50%.. Looking forward to watching the replay!

    MRP / Trib. MRP Lotto thread II

    Bitterly disappointed that we didn’t appeal. Whilst the chances of success may be remote, this was a chance for the club to stick up for it’s player and it’s fans and continue to highlight the ludicrous nature of the suspension. It’s not just about the chance of the appeal succeeding, it’s...

    MRP / Trib. MRP Lotto thread II

    Sorry for being late to the party but I just saw the incident for the first time.. Wow, if that isn't overturned then I might just need to give up watching footy. I'm not sure why Cleary wasn't reported for below the knees. If Archer is guilty of not displaying a duty of care, surely Cleary is...

    Analysis Should we be pursuing a secondary market post-Hobart? If yes, then where?

    I guess this means the AFLs 20th team will be in WA. We get to build the code in the non-Perth market for a few years before being dumped and left looking for another ‘secondary market’ to pay the bills. I know I’m being cynical but it sucks that we need to bounce from one short term...

    Player Watch #26: Luke Parker

    One of the deals that's LEAST likely to get done by tonight's deadline is Luke Parker's desired move from Sydney to North Melbourne. Riley Beveridge tells AFL Trade Radio that Sydney hasn't made any counter-offers to North, believing that the ball remains in the Roos' court given they've lured...

    Resource 2025 Membership - it started with an Invoice

    I’ve received emails for my mine and my son’s membership however, when I select ‘View Membership’ it shows “no invoice to pay at the moment”. Is this normal? I can’t remember which memberships we have and I was looking to compare a few options ( we live interstate and don’t get to many games..)...

    Game Day 2024 AFL GF - Swans v Lions - enter tip/NSmith

    I think the Colas need a priority pick or two this year. Can’t have them getting thrashed every time they make the GF. It’s bad for (AFL) business…… TIC BTW, I hate them so bad!! On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

    Toast Your recollections of the day of any or all of our Premierships

    Watched the 99 GF at a mates place. Family were Carlton mad but they weren’t too upset with the loss. They were still on a high from knocking * out in the prelim. From there we all headed to the Tennis Centre (Carlton mates included) and out on the town where I was refused entry to most clubs...
