    Bye Bye Nobles

    Everyone needs to calm down. This was always going to be a tough year. Second year in a rebuild is always the hardest. What we have learnt is that things can change quickly. We are still trying to figure out what our best 21 is. Injuries to some of our most exciting young talent not to mention...

    Training 2021/22 Preseason Thread Lessssf*ngo

    Going to miss Cunnington. When North plays their absolute best football Cunners is normally a big reason why. I’m sure Greenwood can take a lot of body heat but we lack mature bodies on the pill. Going to be tough early I just hope the boys are ready to step up. Thomas needs a big year for mine...

    Training 2021/22 Preseason Thread Lessssf*ngo

    A bit early mate. It’s a long year seriously. All players are different. Some just need a few games to find their feet again and touch. You can do all the Match simulation you want but game intensity is different. Im backing him in. We seen last year he takes a while to get going but when he...

    Training 2021/22 Preseason Thread Lessssf*ngo

    Looking forward to this season. Tough year awaits. I predict this year to be an extremely mentally challenging year probably for the coaching staff and perhaps a few older heads like Ziebell and goldy more so than the younger players. Second time doing anything is always harder. I expect some...

    Rumour Fyfe & Perry

    I havnt commented on any forum for years. Honestly Nat Fyfe comes across as one of the most diss liked blokes in the system. As a football fan I feel he is one of the most unrelatable and selfish players in the competition. He needs to get off social media, get out of the news and learn how to...

    Roast Disgrace (please, keep all venting in this thread where possible)

    At one stage I seen Wells and Thomas walk into each other when the ball was 30 metres away the Wells patted Thomas on the bum as if to say it's not our day today is it Lindsay. Thomas walked off and shook his head. It was something you would expect to see in c grade amateur league not AFL football.

    Roast Disgrace (please, keep all venting in this thread where possible)

    The worst thing about today is that we are going to have to rely on another barnstorming run home to make top 4. Grima and Hansen out are a lot more serious issues than what we thought.

    Roast Disgrace (please, keep all venting in this thread where possible)

    I was at the game. I said pre season that we have without doubt the best players rated 23-30 in the league but our unfortunately for us wether we like it or not we don't have a Nat Fyfe, Ablett, Franklin a Roughead or even a Dangerfield. We have 12-15 very good (B+ > A-) type players. The...

    Opinion North Melbourne's best 22

    Sometimes what we see on tv is not the bee all and end all. Leadership is very important and absolutely critical to us if we want the ultimate and Gibson is a true leader and will play round 1. He also offers plenty of run and works his arse off. Done some sensational things in them 2 finals...

    Opinion North Melbourne's best 22

    Plenty of depth and plenty of good problems to have. I think we are well placed for the next 3 years. With Firritto, Harvey, Waite, Petrie, McMahon, Grima, Dal Santo at the back end of their careers we seem to have plenty of players waiting for there opportunity and seeming ready to take it with...

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    He was drafted at pick 32 for a start and I would like to see where he rates out of that draft. Top 12 easy id say therefore we should be getting a pick between 10 and 20. I think other picks are going to have to be swapped to get it done.

    Past #25: Robbie Tarrant - traded to RFC for CCJ&picks - 2yr deal at RFC - 174 NM games/44 NM goals - retires 13/7/23 effective immediately

    I'm not convinced on Taz. Has plenty of injury concerns. Even before he got injured his agility was poor and is very flat footed. Only a handfull of players he would be suited to playing on as a defender and they would be Hawkins, Cloke, Tippett and Patton. I think he could be a good swing man...

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    Because it's probably one of the biggest decisions of his life.

    If JOR was any good GWS wouldn't let go a pick 2 shorely. They are not that stupid the kid must have issues either attitude or injury.

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    Merritts age is what is going against him 29 I think. Players with Greenwoods attributes are not easy to find people so don't be expecting a good outcome of this. We are meant to be challenging next 3 years. Also if we lose Greenwood the Higgins thing has question marks over it as well because...

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    I can't see how losing him is going to benefit us in anyway. Get him to Mow Brayshaws lawns for $100,000 a year. Anything. Get it done North.

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    I know we talk about inside mids and outside mids blah blah blah but this terminology is way outdated. Great teams have players that can do both effectively. If Greenwood goes just means BAstinac, Wells, Harvey, Higgins, Atley, McDonald etc etc all need to win it inside better to replace him...

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    Forget thinking about getting anybody from Collingwood because I've had a look at their list. Nothing worthy and won't get swan or sidebottom. Draft pick only from them.

    Is he that bad. I've always thought he was a good old school full back. We lack defenders.

    Swallow wont be happy. Footballers have long memories. Maybe Levi one of them. Can't blame him really but he is lucky he wasn't delisted a couple years ago so Brad did show faith in him.

    Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

    He's going to Collingwood. Deal with it people. This one has blindsided us and we didn't see it coming. No doubt Collingwood are throwing the kitchen sink at him not to mention prominent midfield time with them losing Beams. Time to start talking about what we are going to get in return...

    we need a mini rebuild

    Smooches you have no idea. This is what will happen McMahon - retire Liam Anthony - delisted Taylor Hine - delisted Max Warren - delisted Kieran Harper - put on rookie list Trade bait Currie, Daw, mackenzie, No way we are going to make wholesale changes to the list after getting to a prelim

    Past #36: Joel Tippett - pick #8 '13 RD - delisted end '16 season - 7 games for NM - thanks Tippo

    If we play Sydney in a prelim how would They match up on each other and does anybody think this is a realistic chance of happening? Thoughts, Comparisons etc etc??

    Game Day Official preview/GDT - Semi-Final Geelong vs NMFC - MCG, Friday 7:50pm (Out: Jacobs / In: Harvey)

    Not really. When you lose 7 games by a combined total of about 50 points that 10th on the ladder last season was exaggerated. Now you throw in beating Every side in the top 10 this year except Geelong it's clear we are good. Just have to prove we can beat the Cats then we are officially serious...

    Toast Kudos To Brad Scott Thread !!!

    Every coach in the league has something good and bad about them if you go through it. Only thing Brad does that pisses me off is he goes into to much depth about certain things in the media when he doesn't have to and would be better off giving straight short and sharp responses. He wears his...

    Game Day Official preview/GDT - Semi-Final Geelong vs NMFC - MCG, Friday 7:50pm (Out: Jacobs / In: Harvey)

    I said top 4 and a prelim. Now is the time. You don't get gifted natural improvement year to year just because that's what happens. We need to take our opportunities. Who knows what Gold Coast and GWS are going to do over next 5 years.

    Game Day Official preview/GDT - Semi-Final Geelong vs NMFC - MCG, Friday 7:50pm (Out: Jacobs / In: Harvey)

    Is Hansen or atleast Tippett any chance. Think We need another key defender. If Grima or Thompson go down we could be in all sorts. I understood not playing a 3rd tall defender against Essendon because of there lack of key posts but Geelong is a different story with Hawkins nearly taking 2. Key...

    Toast Kudos To Brad Scott Thread !!!

    Can't see how any could not like him as a person. I think he is fantastic. Yes we are fickle but AFL is all about the holy grail remember and until we get to that last day in September unfortunately there is always going to be some negative feedback and rightly so because it's a brutal sport and...
