Ive discovered the Footy Jumpers board and found someone posted a GC jumper which is almost the clash jumper I've always wanted North to use. Take away the gold. We used it as our Heritage Jumper.....maybe our first one.
I much prefer the blue V on white rather than the opposite.
Am i on...
Been checking out this vid doco that a BF member produced on Gary Ablett Sr. It is absolutely outstanding.
What are the best vids on the offer related to North?
Apologies if this thread has been done before.

There are so many opinion posts from a very small cross-section of the North supporters on this board. Would be good to hear from the silent majority.
This poll is to hear from all BF North supporters on who you believe North should target for trade and/or free agency
The compensation (trade...
Having a look at Norths list and comparing it to GWS and Gold Coast over the coming years, we could still be a bit off the pace. This is assuming those clubs can keep their list together, which I believe they will definitely do.
We need to get involved in the mini draft, not only to stop those...
Do North have an official view on our name in things such as fixtures, ladders, scoreboards etc?
I believed we went officially back to 'North Melbourne', but i noticed on the North v Carlton replay today that the Live Ladder listed us as 'Kang' and the rest of the teams with their non-mascot...
Thinking about the potential of the current crop at North, it would be interesting to discuss the similar cycle that so many other clubs are on to us. Makes me think that to win/contest Grand Finals from 2015-2020 is going to require the greatest team in history. Does our list have that...
Congrats to all involved. A very enjoyable day. Perfect weather and well organised.
Enough to do for the kids and the players made themselves available.
Forgot caps for the kids, but remembered the 'mystery bags' had caps in them. Good idea to ditch old membership merchandise stocks.
All...
To me Geelong of 2009 is a team measuring stick from which North should model itself. North will be challenging for a Premiership in approx 2014.
Up until now i wouldnt put a thread like this up, but i think people are starting to cotton on that North are going to be a very good to elite...
Each of these is an interesting question to answer.
I think we are definately a bottom 4 side at the moment, and deserving of our ladder position.
In terms of our list, this is a hard one. We need to find another couple of speedy outside mids. I think we are a very unbalanced side, and...
Obviously the North Melbourne Football Club is in a position where off-field positioning for financial gain is vital, but care must be taken that its supporters are not overly distracted from their need to barrack for an AFL football team.
Bigfooty is a vocal minority who observe and discuss...
Would anyone know answers to the following for each of the AFL/VFL 2nds, 3rds (under 19s) and 4ths (under 17s):
- In what year did each grade end?
- What was the result of the last grand final for each grade (teams and result)?
Cheers,
Mailman
Seriously, good luck trying to break into this team next year:
McMahon, Grima, Firrito
Rawlings, Thompson, Wells
Anthony, Swallow, Greenwood
Warren, Hansen, Wright
Harvey, Petrie, Adams
McIntosh, Ziebell, Bastinac
Garlett, Goldstein, Cunnington, ________
The battle for a bench...
Enough about Gibson...Looking to 2010. A year of change.
Next year is going to be one of great change for our great club...a new coach but even moreso a core to the 22 which is our future.
Not sure I want this to turn into a team naming thread, but when I had a think about it, heres what i...
Three Collingwood mascots to meet the kiddies and no Barry Broozer at our home game.....
My kids ended up just wanting to meet the magpie mascots instead.
How hard is it???
Got asked this by my dad and a google search proved fruitless.
In one year in the '90s we were top of the ladder and played the 2nd placed team three weeks consecutively.
ie. Each time after we played the 2nd placed team they were replaced by another team into that position who we then...
Was reading through the membership pack last night and something occured to me.
The cost of a Adult 11 membership is $160.
The cost of a Family 11 membership (incl. 2 Adult 11 and Junior 16 memberships) is $320.
Therefore, anybody out there who is buying 2 Adult 11 memberships (ie...
Pretty happy with the balance of positions we have selected, particularly the fast mids. If we had of got McKernan instead of Wright i would have been happier with the extra KP selection
Summary of our draft:
Jack Ziebell (DOB – 28/2/91, Ht – 188, Wt – 84) - Inside Mid, Utility
Happy...
Was researching for dreamteam when I came across this thread at Bomber Blitz. Very entertaining stuff
Enjoy.

How are the leagues shaping up to challenge EliteDreamTeamers this year?
Rota looks like he's getting at least 1 person from the top 50 involved in his league....
Scopus will have the usual 500 leagues all run by the same person.....
Who else is on the radar for '08?
Below is a marketing idea for the club which my wife came up with, that I think could be a fantastic opportunity for the club if managed correctly.
Background:
While going to the football is a family affair for many people, from looking around the crowd, and then generalising, the typical...
Ive been thinking quite a bit how from an AFL perspective they could manage our relocation to the Gold Coast if the anti-relocation movement really takes off. They would no doubt be thinking out all of these angles.
If North do not agree to the move this month then the AFL would commence...
Roos legends plead for support
02 November 2007 Herald Sun
Sam Edmund
KANGAROOS legends have urged fans to come to the aid of their former team in a desperate attempt to keep the 138-year-old club in Melbourne.
However many concede it may be too late to salvage the club's future at...
If WC dont add him to their senior list can we get him back, or do they have rights to him for next year on their Rookie list?
Would he come back to Melbs again?
Id love him back....Silly move to delist him
A thread which is likely to get myself flamed because there are so many opportunities to disagree, but anyway, here goes....
If you were to look at the North Melbourne players over the next 3 years what value would you put on the importance of each player to the team over this timeframe? To...
Out: Watt, Brown, Moran
In: Johnstone, Boyle Bradley
Watt for Boyle
Watts opportunities at North will be reduced next year with players coming through, as Boyles will be at the Hawks with Thorp etc on the rise. They need a good backman (And Watt is a good backman/sweeper), and we need...
I think we should go for one or more of Cousins, Goodwin, Cornes (either), Franklin, Goodes, Black, Riewoldt, Brad Johnson, Gibbs, Ablett Jnr, Ryder, Dale Thomas, Foley
:rolleyes:
Theres no sense of reality around here
Could he be an opportunity for us during Trade Week. He used to be a FB at the Hawks with limited success in his early years. I wonder whether he could slot back into that role now that we has the experience and confidence at the top level now.
Even if he didnt work at FB after we got him he...
