    Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

    He's turned into a great player, well done LT

    Team v Essenon

    Speight has ticked plenty of boxes, perhaps they wanted to give him a good run to build up his fitness. Considering he's been only a sub, he probably needs a good full-game under his belt. He's also still learning the game plan, defensively he sometimes looks a little lost when it comes to...

    Who would you pick!

    Mathew Larkin, He was unfortunate in that he played between our glory decades the 70s and 90s, but he was a sublime footballer

    Youtube: Wellsy's Sydney highlights.

    I can recall Brad Scott saying that he wanted to change the way Wells was being used: Laidley's tactic was to use him exclusively as an outside player. Scott has told Wells to get into the packs, and hunt his own ball. It's clearly working, plus he's over the bout of osteitis pubis that...

    medical team

    Exactly, I have no knowledge of our medical set up, so I don't really have an opinion on all of this. I actually thought the comments from my colleague sounded a bit "sour-grapes" at the time, hence why I didn't take much notice. Malpractice claims are on the rise, I doubt whether medical...

    medical team

    Last year I discovered I worked with an ex-North staff member. We got friendly and talked often about footy. Anyway, last year the ex-staff member claimed there was a major problem with our medical set-up, namely a that a Physio was having the final say on who could play and who couldn't. I...

    Can you tell me how to get... how to get to Arden streeeet.

    If you're staying at The Victoria Hotel, I'd recommend taking a tram, this is how to get to Arden St: 1) Walk to Elizabeth St, it's two blocks SW from your Hotel. 2) Get on a no. 57 "West Maribyrnong" Tram (north bound, but either direction will take you there) 3) Exit the tram at the...

    How can we beat Brisbane?

    going by some of the points above, we're a fair chance I'm not a praying man, but some of this would come in handy

    Sav Rocca Downs the Magpies

    Carey would've had a couple of free kicks if that game was played today... actually no he probably wouldn't

    Spotlight On... The Weetbix Kid

    have to agree, he looked great down back before he did his hammy. The game against Essendon he was awesome... just a natural defender who reads the ball well. As a forward he seems lost. Gotta play him down back.

    Hudson free?

    yeah yeah, blah blah, umpires don't kill people, guns do... Unequivocally, the umpiring was a factor in the outcome of the game, Dogs were robbed.

    So, how many people from the club read BigFooty?

    no, I'm Daniel Harris and so's my wife

    Laidley resigned?

    I just drove past Arden st, there's a media circus out the front, so I turn on the car radio and the first thing I hear is that Laidley is about to resign. slightly freak

    Thomas

    WTF? Thomas was excellent against Freo, he worked his arse off in our forward line... In our forward line of many tall players, putting defensive pressure on Freo's backline was always going to be a big task. Yet Thomas chased hard, didn't play for free kicks... just worked his guts out... I...

    Past #31: David Hale - drafted at #7 in the Superdraft - 129 games for NM - traded to HFC in 2010

    From memory, Hale played pretty much all his junior footy as a forward, hopefully it doesn't feel too foreign for him... He was average the 1st half of last year, 2nd half was great though... let's hope he can find some form again... frankly I'd be happy he he kept his feet whilst...
