Just finished watching the full drawn 1977 grand final after I recorded it a while back .I was only 11 back in 77 so memories there were mainly based on watching the final qtr over and over again in recent times like most others would have. Its the first time I have watched the full game in full...

With indigenous round coming up I have finally decided to post what I have been wanting to post for a while. Having grown up watching Jimmy and Phil Krakouer play so brilliantly for us I remember their younger brother Andrew playing for us ( not to be confused with Andrew who played more...

Just saw 3 top marks of the year nominations on AFL website with the winner to be nominated at the brownlow. Top 3 Howe, Grundy and Daniher. The Garner mark he took against the Dockers has been totally forgotten. Clearly better than Grundy and Danihers. Surprise surprise 2 Collingwood...

Sad to hear that Harry Beitzel has passed away. So many great memories of him calling the footy when footy was great. Check this u tube clip. Close my eyes and I am 15 again listening to the footy on the radio writing the scores down

This is why we need to recruit Zach Tuohy

This is one reason why the AFL need to sort out the flawed draw. To compare Collingwood and Nth Melb as an example these are the teams they have not played yet and play pretty much only once this year. COLLINGWOOD have not played Fremantle, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide ,West Coast, Sydney and...

Since the season is over I started to think about the best players I have seen for us since 1976 when I became a supporter. I then came up with this combined team since 1976. Hope I have not missed anyone. Can you better this team. Hopefully a large number from todays team like Black, Mullett...

Times have turned around recently. Collingwood have just dumped Didak, Krakouer and Jolly all who are big names and want to play on at another club. We would have been falling over ourselves to grab 3 players like this recently but now ,not one of them would be in our best 25 players or so...

For what it's worth after the Gold Coast Suns loss this week and hearing commentators and the average person on the street we have lost the respect of these people. After gallant losses to Geelong, Hawthorn and West Coast we were being talked up. The loss to Adelaide I think had people feeling...

Was just thinking about how we were all concerned about trading Edwards, Pedersen and McIntosh but so far none of them has done much for their new teams. In fairness to McIntosh he has not got on the park but with Goldstein, Daw and Currie he has would have struggled to play a game for us even...

After being on this big footy site for a number of years and enjoying the interesting topics and banter with all you fellow members this latest Ziebell suspension has done me in. I no longer want to follow a sport controlled by muppets that have stuffed the once great game of AFL. Close losses...

Funny thing I don't think there are too many shattered North supporters out there at the moment. It's just a case of shrug our shoulders as its now happened 4 times this year and the pain has long gone. I think Adelaide have actually done us a big favour and might be the making of the Kangaroos...

There is no way to dress this one up. We were ripped off big time by disgraceful umpiring decisions that lost us the game. We were clearly the best side and the home crowd influenced the umps who fell for it hook line and sinker. It got me to thinking about our most hurtful losses over the...

Ok lets cut to the chase. We are a team going forward with exciting expectations. A couple of things need to be confirmed. Brad Scott is a bloody good coach and I will not accept any negative comment about him. Aaron Black should always be selected before Hanson. He has skills and polish and...

Ok everyone. Stand back before anyone goes overboard. We have lost to 3 very good teams after playing 9 good quarters of footy and 3 bad ones. We are coached by a very good coach and have an excellent bunch of young players going places. At our best we are a very exciting team to watch who...

Who ever was responsible for the North Melbourne chant going up during the game it was sensational on the tv watching the replay. Thought it was Collingwoods chant at first. Keep it up

Dont want to get ahead of ourselves but is this the best win and collection of wins since the 1999 grand final. Me thinks so. Most pleased and excited I have been since then. Its not just about the win but the style of footy we are playing.Hats of to Bon Scott and the boys. Back to business...

:mad: :mad: Demetriou, if you are still running the AFL you need to be held responsible for this crap that is happening with the MRP. You need to start listening to what commentators, ex-players and the supporters are saying about the MRP. They are completly off the planet with their decisions...

Attended training this morning and couldnt help but notice Wellsy didnt participate fully in training. He came on the track after everyone else and spent time speaking to Scotty. Thought he might just be taking it easy after a busy workload but all the guys named in tomorrows team were there...

Another disapointing loss. Have been watching the tour de France instead and really love it. We think the AFL is tough but what these riders put themselves through is incredible. 3 weeks of tough riding at incredible speeds and mountain climbs and then to see them come off their bikes and get...

One simple question for the AFL. Why do we have to put up with crap draws and crap umpires that have gone a long way to costing us 3 games this year against Richmond, Brisbane and now Sydney. I want an answer Demetriou, you owe us an explanation. I know we have played some poor footy this year...

Since we are all feeling hard done by this week how many AFL conspiracy theories can we come up with ? for example The AFL requires all interstate teams especially Sydney, Gold Coast and Western Sydney to be sucessful. Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton must also be sucessful. North...

After seeing the shocking 50 mtr penalty given to Brown against McMahon the other night I believe the AFL needs to review the whole 50mtr penalty laws. McMahon was clearly trying to give the ball back to Brown and Banfield knocked it out of his hands. The umpire made a howler of a decision and...

Had enough of our club being pushed around. Its time Brayshaw and Scott come out and tell the AFL how it is. How come we get crap draws year after year and the umpiring against us in the Brisbane and Richmond games has been a disgrace. If Collingwood were dealt the rubbish we get Eddie would...

Ok, so we have reached the 1/4 part of the season and here are my player ratings so far based on the old school system which I think still exists of A,B,C,D,E. with small footnotes.(players who have played senior footy only). ADAMS. (C) continues to be a tough nut but may be handball happy...

Hope this hasn't been posted previously ,but why are the coaches taking players off all the time when they boot a goal. It seems coaches dont think for themselves and follow what the rest are doing. When I played your confidence would be up and the adrenlene would be pumping after kicking a...

Early doors yet, but we are all expecting our future young stars to be the likes of Ziebell,Cunnington, Hansen etc and I know some of us have been a little disapointed and frustrated with their slower than expected development (injuries dont help) but maybe the real stars are coming up behind...

I hate being negative but I just wonder whether we have hit rock bottom, or is there worst to come. I have held off posting until now because I didnt want to post without due diligence but that performance last night was embarrassing. I dont know of too many Nth Melb sides who would have lost to...
