The annual round 23 exodus of ageing players is upon us, and already a few that have announced their retirement have been players that might have another year or 2 in them. Given Gold Coast’s current situation, I would be surprised if a few didn’t end up there next year as a player then...

So North name their greatest ever players last night to celebrate their 150th anniversary and have Malcolm Blight at 6. Everyone can argue the order they’d have them in behind Carey at number 1, but if Brent Harvey was a better footballer than Malcolm Blight I have to go away and reassess...

The best round of football in our history. Every spot in the 5 could change, the winner of 6 v 7 could jump in if number 5 lost. Even the Friday night game was between 2nd last and last to decide the wooden spoon. Love hearing people’s tales of that day. I was at Waverley, Jason Love put us in...

Though we’re still mathematically a chance of September action, our loss v * has ruled that out realistically. For the past 2 months (including Brad’s farewell) we’ve had big hyped, emotion charged games. I think this week, with that weight of outside expectation not around and the chance of...

As much as I didn’t rate them, the proof is there. Wins away against good opposition, healthy list, top 4 finish. They can win it all

When talking to people, especially your kids about Tarryn Thomas, please be sure to be clear that Tarryn is spelt with 2 r’s and not 1. Google search is a bitch

Interested on the thoughts of people in regards to Rhyce Shaw’s appointment to fill in the remainder of the season. I’m only assuming he’s got aspirations of one day being a senior coach. Doesn’t get much tougher, first game in and playing Richmond on Friday night footy. Will he be judged on...

The drums have been beating for quite some time now about these 2, and the ladder gives justifiable evidence after a reasonable body of work this season that both clubs are in a world of hurt. Who will pull the trigger first? It makes perfect sense to get in and get first crack at who’s...

We all have our own opinions, and mostly we have a common acknowledgment with our fellow fans as to what we think of the club, players, coach etc. But we also have some opinions on our team that the majority of our own fans take umbrage to. For me....the term “shinboner spirit”. I hate it...

Another Easter Monday passes, another Geelong victory. It’s getting quite boring for the neutral observer....these Geelong beatings of Hawthorn. Geelong will chalk up their 4th flag this millennium in a few months, and factoring in their head to head dominance of Hawthorn, plus less off field...

17k there to bid Carlton circa 2018 goodbye. Deadset flogging, no future, no crowd, no money. St Kilda the same.....luckily for them North fans will get along and boost their putrid crowd numbers up. It’s only going to get worse too....these minnow clubs are becoming a drain on your powerhouse...

Your opportunity here to sell items no longer wanted or needed. For sale....Locker in West Coast change rooms. Prime location, next door to Mark Lecras. $2000 O.N.O

Will he be able to help himself? Sitting there in the coaches box, mouth watering, staring at all the young GWS kids. Can just picture him with a few brown paper bags under his chair, ready to swoop on any imminent GWS cast off. Could get creepy

It’s hard to come to a conclusion where the Melbourne v Giants round 23 game won’t have massive ramifications for not only both teams, but other sides in and around the top 4 mark. As it stands both clubs are separated by half a game, this game could ultimately decide who gets top 4 between...

Another purposeful season at our cheat ground comes to an end. 3 wins from 3 this season, and a truckload of dollars in the coffers. Really enjoyed the cheatery and scenery. See you next season good souls, and thanks for your hospitality. In b4 relocation there

Was just wondering what the thoughts were of people regarding these 2 sides if they both played against each other in their respective forms. Fitzroy were obviously a basket case in their final year, but they did have some very good players, some of whom would go on and be premiership players...

After this weekend’s results, we can dismiss any cheatery the Swans did have at the SCheatG. In fact, teams are actually lobbying to play them twice there next season. Geelong only just held on against Melbum at UFCstadium, but with mounting pressure from the local constabulary amid fears from...

Ever seen a more deluded, washed up old man than SOS? Goes from GWS “list manager” *ie....here’s the best 10 young players in the land, pick 8 of them* to complaining on national TV that football’s First Lady rejected his advances and didn’t return his phone calls. Suck it up old floggo, she’s...

Dear Paganism. North Melbourne are inviting you to their birthday. We have a spacious reception centre with ample parking, we promise there won’t be many people in attendance and lines for beer or the toilet will be non existent. The birthday cake will be vanilla in honour of our midfield. We...

While perusing my Facebook feed this afternoon, I stumbled upon North’s page where they were asking for North’s biggest fan. Boy! What an experience this was. The lady I caught out actually made old Suzy seem sensible She has since removed her post

Unless they wake up to themselves and make a statement right now, Geelong are going to fall on their own sword come the fast decks of September. You can’t carry this one way, slow liability into a final and expect to win. Shows the character of the man, fleeced a new franchise dry then decided...

Seriously ridiculous odds for Mitch tonight, Ablett hasn’t got enough room to chip scab at the ScheatG and Sydney players share it around. So I’ll be loading up at the $9 for Mitch to win his group of 8 and probably buy 6 high end Richmond memberships, purchase grand final tickets and not turn...

Love to hear from fans about games you weren’t involved in, or fans to respond to certain games their team has been mentioned in. For mine, one game I’ll always remember was a game at Windy Hill where Melbourne came from the clouds to beat Essendon. Darren Bennett went nuts and kicked some huge...

With a relatively full list to choose from, a half arsed rebuild attempt that has seen them hover in no man’s land, trade picks pissed up against the wall for the likes of Omeara, Vickery and co., I see a bleak decade for my Hawforn friends. Here....check out how they stack up against other...

I’ll be the first to put my hand up and admit I thought 2017 was an aberration. How wrong! Richmond are panels above anyone at the moment, have improved on last season and can’t see a legitimate threat to them. Impossible to beat at the MCG, have proven this season that Dustin Martin isn’t the...

Nobody has even come close to beating them in Melbourne except North. Bookmark this thread for Grand Final day, North by 23 points and Higgins the Norm Smith to go along with his Brownlow, cementing his position as the best player going around

Was hoping to hear from fans of their own clubs who think the Norm Smith medal went to the wrong person. I have so many I think were awarded to the wrong player, most recently in 2016 when I thought Boyd was the difference. Bachar Houli could nearly have won it last season though I have no...
