    This is just plain stupid

    I was watching an item on ebay, thinking if it goes for around $10 I might buy it, well... it sold for $122 plus postage, so if anyone here purchased this $10 record for $126, please stay away from trade/FA threads, we don't want nor need your opinion on what Harley Bennell is worth.;):);)

    The intelligence of a twelve year old

    my 12 year old daughter said to me after the game tonight, "well Dad at least we finished above the prime example of a club looking down the barrel of mediocrity, and pulling itself out of it with a high performance culture of accountability and we still have all our teeth." sometimes you just...

    Who gets #4

    with LA leaving, who gets the prized number 4? it could be, one of: LT - it may be enough for the umps to pay a free once every now and then. Ben Brown - how can you be taken seriously with 50 on your back?;) 1st pick in the draft = give the new kid some confidence. Kieran Harper, Cam Delaney...

    Congrats to Smith and Wundke

    Not sure if this has been posted, I had a quick look and could not find it on our board, apologies if it has been. Two former North boys took out the SA and WA Leading Goalkicker awards this year, congrats to both. Josh Smith wins Bernie Naylor Medal (WAFL Leading Goalkicker)...

    Jack Grimes 2014 FA

    I understand a few in here think a 30+ year old is worth $450K as a trade for Delaney and a second rounder, and some think a banged up Daisy at $700K as a free agent is a good idea, and most like Betts but not at $550K. my idea is we save the war-chest for one more year and then offer Jack...

    Favorite North Melbourne Highlight of 2013

    Post your clips here guys, this is mine. Have not looked to the forward line when the ball hits the centre since when the Duck was playing, we all know it may not work, but heck (trying not to swear so much) didn't that first mark and goal create some excitement.

    I have a plan for 2014

    just give the ball to Wellsy 120 metres out, 20 times a game.

    Where were the Saints fans?

    I reckon we out numbered them better then 4 to 1, why do you believe the saints fans have abandoned their club.

    What I don't want to see this weekend

    West Coast Ruckmen palming the ball behind themselves to a unmanned West Coast midfielder who is facing their forward line, absolutely killed us last time. I am sure Brad will have a plan in place to curb this, this time round. :D Go You Mighty Rooboys :D

    Rohan Connolly, YOU WERE WRONG!!

    http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/roundseven-theory-to-rule-again-20120513-1ykxt.html these hacks that write the same s**t every year on the same weekend make me laugh.

    2006 Draft - Laidley, Master of that Draft

    looking down the list and picking someone we could have drafted instead (before our next pick) I think we did better then all others in 2006. 3. Lachlan Hansen - missed on Selwood, who had injury concerns and after Trotter, Urch and a few others, I see why we went with Hansen. Jack Reiwoldt is...

    So has the Geish explained why no 50 was paid

    after the first free against Lindsay when O'Brien ran off had a 7 bounces and then kicked the ball to the other end of the ground, whilst the sofctock umpire blew his whistle 37 times?

    How many weeks for Lovett-Murray?

    If the MRP continues to be consistently bad I would hazard to guess two weeks, could have gone for the ball but decided to bump, head contact was made.

    How Many Weeks Today

    I think we can all make our own judgement on how many weeks Mick would get today. I'll go with 0, but doubt he would really escape without penalty, should have stood aside and let Maclure run past would be the preferred alternative.
