    Iranian situation

    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...

    It is officially a crisis.

    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...

    Rooly good and rooly crap

    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

    Review This is the year that was..............

    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...

    Tackling - are we serious?

    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?
