Change of pace from the usual pre-season chat…
I noticed this t-shirt tucked away in the back of the AFL store & their choice of players got me thinking…
If you could pick 5 players as your ‘Kanga Legends’ on a tee, who would they be?
Throwing this out there for the sake of off-season discussion…
Only rule is they had to be on our list for more than 12 months.
Seeing this photo today & thinking about the absolute free ride he’s getting just made me angry.
Nominating Fisher as a forward pocket.
A big year for Nick Larkey?
Guess how many goals the North Melbourne soon-to-be-superstar will slot this season.
You have up until the first bounce of Round 1 to place your guess in this thread.
Goals & points eg. 89.16
We will keep track of his progress towards the Coleman with week by...
Interested to hear who people would delist, rookie or offer a new contract (& how long that would be) out of the decent sized list of OOC North players.
For the sake of this discussion let’s say list sizes will drop down to 35 players next season.
What’s the deal with Rookie listed players...
Few beers deep & watching the Round 1 win against St Kilda (started the replay from half time).
Bloody hell Curtis Taylor has had an impressive run leading up to & including this game! Also nice to see Jy, Larks, TT & Jed get their hands on it. Makes me feel confident heading to Sydney next...
TAB posted this earlier today & it has a few of my mates & myself talking.
I’m interested to hear what you guys reckon is, not only your favourite sporting moment of the past decade, but your favourite North Melbourne moment.

I’m undecided on the ‘sporting moment’ but for a North...
Whilst waiting for my coffee this morning I was flicking through the Herald Sun & read the stat that if Geelong were to lose this coming Friday they’d be the first team to be minor premier & go out in straight sets since the 1983 North Melbourne side.
Still a couple of years away from being...
I had posted this in the ‘Random chat thread’ but it was suggested to perhaps post something separately to gain more traction.
Mods: totally cool if this sort of thing is inappropriate & you want to move / remove the thread.
My beer gut is starting to get a bit too noticeable for my liking...
Ahead of the 150th anniversary dinner on August 3rd where the heritage committee will be naming our ten best players of all time (in order), I’m interested to see if anyone here wants to have a crack at it...
Is Carey a lock for number 1?
Anyone from left field to crack the top 10?
Will Liam...
Something to pass the time...

Very disappointing.
I’ve loved this tradition that’s been on TV every Grand Final Eve for as long as I remember.
Have blown the dust off these babies for tonight’s viewing...

Huge day at Riverland Bar tomorrow for anyone heading to...
I have my first child due at the start of December.
A little girl!
Next season she’ll be sporting a little North Melbourne guernsey at some stage. For the first one/couple I’ll have to make the decision for her as to what number goes on the back.
Just wondering - firstly, what was the number...
Idea taken from the Geelong board - ironically since I was there looking to see what the latest was on Aaron Black.
Name a player / players you thought were destined for North Melbourne stardom only to be proven horrible wrong.
Any player whose career was cruelled by injury (Jesse Smith...
Looking forward to this coming out...
“In two aspects North Melbourne stands second to none. One is the loyalty of its supporters. The other is the determination to carry on despite its disadvantages. In the face of adversity, which might well have broken the spirit of most men, we find that...
Conversation in another thread on here has sparked conversation between a co-worker & myself...
Competition time.
Guess the crowd for this weekends game!
Winner gets a pot of beer.
I'll lock in 22,218 spectators through the gates for the North Melbourne home gave against the Gold Coast Suns.
• The game is close in the last quarter
• We lose a close game
Interested to know how people handle it.
Last nights match I was in public so had to restrain my self from throwing anything.
As Freo kicked that goal to hit the lead I crouched down beside the pool table with my head in my...
On the back of today's article on the official AFL website (see link at the bottom) I'd love to hear everyone's personal thoughts on the questions asked of afl.com.au's 'professional' staff writers.
Interestingly but not surprisingly in the 'set to fall' question 17 of the 20 writers have...
A big year for Big Ben Brown?
Guess how many the North Melbourne cult figure will slot this season.
