Inspired by Choppy's gesture of generosity in the POTY thread, and with a view to adding some extra spice (and intellectual honesty) to the suggested Round 1 teams that people post, I make the following offer* to my learned BF colleagues......
Anyone correctly nails the 22 players that will...
Wow, guys, don't all rush at the Game Day OP job at once.
No surprise there. This place has been like Kalaupapa the last few weeks. People falling apart left, right, and centre.
M'eh, I'm happy to take one for the team. (No Zondor.) Shinboners never say die, yada yada yada.
So on we...
Gotta love a bit of slap and tickle.
No Game Day thread yet? Given our opponent this week, I though Timmy would be all over it.
Analysis:
The North posters go into this Game Day thread with some patchy form behind them this season. That said, there have been some encouraging signs of late...
No GD thread?
I swear, with all the backbiting and machinations behind the starting of these buggers, a 'Game Day Of Thrones' tag would have probably been more appropriate.
Aaaaaaaaanyway....
.....massive, MASSIVE game.
Must win.
Will win.
North by four and twenty points.
Well, here's hoping anyway.
Btw, why the hell is there no Game Day thread? It's 4am. Sincerely hoping someone is going to lose their job over this.
(And what's up these days with Gaso doing the Game Day threads? Actually forget I asked that, I don't want to know.)
So anyway, here's your Game...
First off, sorry it has taken me so f'ing long to write this. I have no excuse. I am a lazy person.
If it's any consolation (and when you consider my posting, it should be), I put a self-imposed New Years ban on myself from posting on Bigfooty until I finished it.
Secondly, before I launch...
That's right, I'm (semi-)done.
Has been in the offing for a few months, but will (finally, definitely) be stepping down as Mod in the next few days.
News that will no doubt bring a smile to some folks' faces. :thumbsu:
Announcements re my replacement(s) to follow.
For those of...
A little bird tells me that one of our very own posters of the female persuasion has just added another North member to our tally.
Huge congrats to Ms Reliable (and hubby) on the birth (today) of her son, Riley Reliable !!
Congrats also to her dad who, if memory serves, posts on this...
Letting y'all know that everyone's favourite BigFooty Moderator, Twinkletoes (aka Twinky T aka Tinkletoes), just became a father for the first time.
The lovely Mrs TT gave birth to future North Melbourne Life Member, Zoe Rose, around 48 hours ago. Tired parents and baby are all doing well...
Figure most people would have read this article after BigFooty's battle with gremlins last night. (On that note, lol at The Gasometer Wing. Cracking forum that. Fixed my insomnia right up.)
Apologies if the article has already been posted. If so, please delete the thread, me...

NORTH Melbourne coach Brad Scott has challenged every Kangaroos player to stand up after the side's disappointing 61-point loss to Fremantle on Sunday...
For a young bloke probably thrown in a lttle above his head, I'm impressed so far. Works hard, presents well, and is showing signs/chiming in with some worthwhile contributions.
Keep up the good work, Hendo.
I rated O'Keefe, but I reckon you might just shade him.
...as people seemed more inclined to talk about Azza in general terms, whereas I just wanted to give the bloke a shout-out for a top game.
Well, I'll try again. He was very good last night. Had his marking boots(?)on and worked tirelessly. Another game where his defensive pressure was...
....but for a scoreless game, I thought there was a lot to like about Azza's performance today.
Worked his ass off, got 19 possessions (including 7 I50's), took a few grabs, and his excellent workrate and defensive pressure (IMO, the standout part of his game today), was a big part of why...
Not sure if this has been reported on the board (if so, Mods please delete...oh, wait), but I got a PM from a (hipster dufus) fellow poster pointing out that, in addition to taking up a specialist coaching role at North, Arch will also be pulling on the boots again in 2010.
He'll be playing...
A fresh thread in due honour of the great man who created the first "King Of All Threads", Basia (I).
(Now hermetically sealed for future generations to enjoy.)
In the beginning.....
Harsh on JT. (I'm sure Filth will agree with me there.)
So once again, in the words of The...
Forgive me, I'm a noob, etc....but has there been a thread on this yet ?
If so, did I miss it ?? Surely it's a thread worthy subject.
If only to discuss the tragic Wheat Bix-related issues that weigh heavily on the complex mind of Lachlan Hansen.
There's also a great article on...
Yep.
As all of you know, this is a busy-ass board. And with the new season just around the corner, it's time to stregthen up the defence.
So as the title of the thread would suggest, we're in the market for a new Mod for the North board.
To that end, we're keen (hmm...perhaps keen is...
Sorry for the delay, folks. Was busy like.
Names were drawn earlier today by the impartial hand of the little bloke.
For the trivia buffs and science boffins, this time around a new, highly sophisticated system was employed, involving the use of North Melbourne FC playing cards...
Huh ? I thought he was joining Laidley.
Article from today's Border Mail.
Apologies if this has already been posted. If it has - MODS, please delete.
Ziebell happy to join Roos

JACK Ziebell is over the shock of being drafted by North...
Just a quick fyi, that I keep forgetting to mention. I'm going to merge this with the 'Vale Lidge' thread, but I'll give it a run on it's own for a bit.
A few weeks back, the ‘City’ magazine - a free weekly glossy - and its Leader affiliates (eg. ‘Heidelberg & Diamond Valley Weekly’) ran a...
Sorry, Zebs. Had to can your thread on account of a pesky Hawk asshat who is now in the Land of Red Cards.
Try again.....

Hi guys,
Sorry for the extremely late notice.
(Errr...."technical difficulties".)
Anyhoo, the highly sexual Roosistence Trucker Caps will be available for purchase this afternoon at the Intra Club.
Only $15.
Have a squizz. Feel the sexiness.....
Again, they are...
Hi guys,
You will all be happy to know that our new CEO, Eugene Arocca, has joined the North BF board.
However, his newbie status disallows him from starting a new thread of his own.
So he has PM'ed and asked that the following message be passed onto the North BF folk...
