    Player Watch #28: Bigoa Nyuon

    Hmm I don't think he was too bad. I think we had ten worse players out there.

    Opinion Is this rock bottom?

    Did anyone else at the game see some supporters absolutly abuse the players as they were going down the race? Hurling abuse like "******* weak!" at them. I've gone to a lot of games and I've never seen that before. To me it was a new low for the club. It's getting really toxic now. I've had...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    Do it. I'm sick of promising 18 year olds, even the amazingly talented ones. I'm ready for 23 year olds who have already played 100 games.

    My hopes are raising. I'm ready to hurt again! (What is wrong with me?)

    So true. It’s got such a weird anti climactic vibe. It takes a bit of time to people “lock in” on the actual gameplay. Once people engage, the crowd rides every moment

    The thing about our 17,589 is that we're really loud for a crowd of that size. I go to lots of footy. Other clubs cough Geelong cough Hawthorn cough Essendon cough, have much larger crowds than us but they have library atmospheres. I'd take the noise and excitement generated by our passionate...

    17,589 in the end. Was it really worthy of that SEN article? Not a great crowd to be fair but not too bad really. Especially given we're 5-40 in the last two seasons and have come off 17,18,18,17th placed seasons. I'd love to see some other teams' crowds after this run we've had. Carlton...

    Autopsy Tale of two halves vs. Freo

    I was feeling really really down 20 minutes ago. We have to keep perspective. Clearly we’re improving. The wins WILL come

    Autopsy Tale of two halves vs. Freo

    I know that collectively we failed and that doing the whole whipping boy things is inaccurate, unproductive, and cruel. Nevertheless, Dylan Stephens ain’t it. I’ll happily defend my view

    Opinion Commentary & Media VII

    In Round 22 of 2012 season we got 26,482 at Docklands vs Fremantle. That's our best ever home crowd against them.

    For GA membership I think you should still be ok by then. There looks like there's still quite a lot of tickets up on Level 3.

    Mate it’s so confusing don’t worry. Tomorrow call the club on 1300 526 427 and tell them you and your partner’s membership number. They’ll sort you out. Do it early tomorrow If possible though. I couldn’t find my barcode either.

    I have a sneaky feeling we’ll get a good crowd for Freo - 24k is my prediction

    Ok I’ve solved it. Clunky system but I got there. I’d advise everyone to sort it soon as it really looks like there’s not many tickets left.

    Wow I cannot seem to get my own Good Friday ticket let alone buy guest passes?! I'm so confused how this can happen? Don't I have a RESERVE membership? Where's that Seinfeld video? Can anyone help me?

    It's not very good value is it? The mindset of the club needs to change from increasing what amounts to an email list of people who make a small financial contribution to the club, to increasing the number of what I'm calling "season ticket holders". We should set an aim of converting 30,000...

    I wish we knew the numbers for the different membership packages. Basically I want to know out of our 50,000 members how many are actually season ticket holders vs Tasmanians, 3 game members, and interstate members. I know we get revenue from all types of memberships, but especially with the...

    Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

    To be honest, I don't think we've genuinely had a game-plan that was suited to Marvel since 2011-2013 when we had serious run and gun hanballing with Wells, Harvey, Mullet, Atley, Gibson, Harper et al. We slowed things down 2014-2016 and were more deliberate. And even though we were just...

    Player Watch #29: Will Phillips

    2020 draft is looking worse with every passing season. Phillips is continuing to improve. He's solid. He doesn't have the talent that some of our other recent high end picks have: Colby, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Duursma, even going back to LDU and Tarryn Thomas. North fans we have been SPOILT by...

    Game Day Practice Game 2024 - Roos v Saints - Moorabin- 2pm ish

    I can only call what I saw. I’m not a hating on the guy. I hope that Stephens has a long and wonderful career with us. If you didn’t notice some of his weak moments, I’m surprised. Between Scott, Colby, Tucker, Fisher, Shiels et al the competition for winger and flanker positions is pretty hot...

    Game Day Practice Game 2024 - Roos v Saints - Moorabin- 2pm ish

    Particularly Impressive: Fisher, Biggy, Goater, Duursma, Xerri Good: Larkey, Colby, Scott, Sheezel, Tucker Pink and Dawson had some good periods. Everyone else was either passable, not out of first gear (LDU) or below average. There was only a few players I think played badly. Paul Curtis...

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

    If he's being assessed on Friday to see if he plays in a practice match, it doesn't sound like that serious of an injury. Every player carries knocks, aches, tightness, and various issues all through the season. What I worry about George is his hamstrings. Without any knowledge, it feels like...

    Prediction Sonja Hood

    I hope Sonja told Albo that his predecessor, Federal Labor Leader Arthur Calwell (who lost elections to die-hard Carlton supporter Robert Menzies on two occasions, and Harold Holt once) was in fact a massive North Melbourne supporter, to the extent that he actually had Sonja's job as North...

    Northball

    There doesn't seem to be anything "new" about the game plan - playing on with fast, direct and aggressive ball movement. It's a fun game plan but nothing new. Other game plans that have had their own "brand" are usually novel and/or unique - Pagan's Paddock, Weagles Web, Clarko's Cluster, "tempo...

    Prediction Sonja Hood

    We may look back on Sonja Hood as the best President we've ever had. Ben Buckley in my eyes is starting to look like the worst, honestly. What a disaster he was. James Brayshaw will always be loved and admired for what he did in 2007. Allen Aylett has everyone's respect for the Barassi era...

    I've been very nervous about our key defence but Dawson, Pink and to a lesser extent Biggie have assuaged my fears a lot in this match. Definitley AFL standard players, may improve to be quite good. They've got an opportunity

    I feel like Wardlaw (6) and Colby (10) should swap. I know I'll get used to how it is though. This die hard supporter madness.
