Hi fellow NMFC Bigfooty folk. Just want to let you know that on Wednesday morning I had a major heart attack. Thanks to Vic Ambos who stabilised me and got me to hospital super quick, and the coronary team at the Northern Hospital who had me in surgery within 12 mins, right now I am doing ok but...

During the week there was a report from a radio station's US correspondent (can't remember who tbh) and he said how media watchers in Washington have a theory about when something big militarily is about to happen. Sales/deliveries from the local pizza shops that service the Pentagon soar. He...
60 plus years of continuous membership and today is as embarrassed as I have been for many years by our club. 5 years of garbage and we can't get pumped for our biggest game of the year? Really? The club is in crisis. A crop of high draft picks, best available coach - what's left?Today we get...
Hooray!
My birthday today and what a day. Family here for BBQ lunch including my beautiful 14 month granddaughter (member since day of birth), got a nice new pair of AirPods, and the Aussies rooted (misspelling intentional) the whinging Indians. Add to that a couple of AFLW Premiers souvenir...
Merry Christmas to all my NMFC friends on this site. We have stuck fat during a very lean few years and let's hope we can all see positive growth this coming season. I'm getting older and really want to see another flag before I shuffle off to the great shinbone in the sky. Spending time...
Every season there is a team that does heaps better than anticipated and a team that absolutely crumbles against the odds. Name them for 2025.
Better than expected: North Melbourne
Floppers: Bulldogs
Not sure where to post this - hope someone can help.
I am being notified of new threads in the Sydney forum. Why? I've never tagged or even been in their forum. How do I unwhatever?
Hey y'all. Sponsorship pledges are way down so if you have a few dollars to give please go to the stickied thread. Luke72 puts so much work into organising this - let's all rally now and give a few bucks to make sure our sponsorships continue.
My birthday today. At my age you value every one you reach. I celebrate 62 years as a member of the NMFC and just hope we see some light at the end of the tunnel this year. Be competitive in most games, win six or more, see the kids improving and the newbies showing us plenty of promise. I want...
Hey BF folk. Just want to wish you a happy Christmas. Been a challenging year for me off-field and I have often come online looking for a distraction. Thanks for the insights, the gossip, the rumours, the training reports, the predictions and, above all, the love of the North Melbourne Football...
We end on a win, somewhat unexpected. Given the off field 5hit fight during 2023, what were the highlights?
For me:
Sheezel will be an absolute gun and seems a ripper kid. Massively exciting.
Wardlaw looks the goods with some colleagues suggesting better than Sheezel when he is fully fit...
Thought this was worth its own thread.

I note Eugene Arocca is not renewing his contract as head of Motorsport Australia. Would love to see him back at NMFC in some role. I have a lot of love for Euge. Make it happen Euge.
Heard a discussion on the wireless over night suggesting we were robbed. According to them you can have another interchange after 75 for an injury. I forget the player that left the field but he had cramp - was that considered an injury? Some people were saying it isn't an injury others saying...
I am constantly frustrated by a lot of things about our team at the moment but tackling has to be right up there. I have never seen so many players unable to hold a tackle. WTF is going on? So many tackles are shrugged off or don't even impact the other players clearance. I know we can add quite...
Me. Just thought I would start a permanent thread for birthdays. Mine today - just add a greeting if you know of any other BF posters birthday as they occur.
I was always the kid that got the chocolate frog on the last day of school along with the other kids whose birthdays didn't fall on a...
Interesting article in The Age.
