This is the link from Hawthorns board re Tassie games, in relation to The Age newspaper's article.
Interesting to read that the AFL are just flat-out against a tassie side, but are willing to strangle a side into...
Not sure if you Melbournians are aware of this, it is getting an increasing push from AFL Tasmania.
Northern Tas is dead against it, such is the loyalty to Hawthorn.
The South have only 2 games to gain, no skin off their nose.
North Melbourne's Melbourne-based members however, are looking...
Gee I'm sick of some of the inflammatory bullsh*t I'm reading on our team board today.
LT was our best forward today.
Collingwood played out of their skins.
Grima, Thompson and Firrito were excellent considering the turnovers in the middle.
Cunnington is our most improved player.
Pull...

As much as I am a pro-Hobart NM supporter, just piss off WBFC.......
We've gone from Laidleys HBF list clog to Brad's HFF/Wing thing.
We have drafted a tall creative HF (garner), a tall winger/HF (Wood), a HBF winger (Jacobs).
Add to this
Adams
Harper
Wells
Ziebell
Wright
Harvey
& possibly Thomas
STAHP IT BRAD.
I for one, am OK at present with this...

Yet again North supporters grumble as AFL sets YET ANOTHER change to the rules surrounding the pre-season comp to kick us in the nuts.
From memory, Drew had to serve a suspension in the last game of a season, and...
A lot of reactive posts and angry opinions this week, some warranted in the scheme of things, some gross Caro-isms.
As a long (LONG) time supporter of North, I have seen the lows (Sunday, 2007 v Geelong final, the late 80's), and the highs (most of the 70's & 90's). Saw high flyin 70's, steroid...
For some reason I had this game on in the background, the TV turned itself off twice. Checked the plug and fusebox, then I realised that my Panasonic TV has an anti-smug device.
Seriously though, this is the first of many retaliatory gestures from 10 to the viewing public. Get used to it.
I am flabbergasted that a thread hasn't been started yet on this.
For the relative pittance of $300 you get-
"For decades North Melbourne had the opportunity to celebrate only one 300th game milestone, however in recent years this trend has reversed, and it is set to continue in the latter...

Hi all, dunno whether it's the cheeky white after tea or the monotony of Wednesday Telly, but I do prefer to peruse BF NMFC on the hump day.

Brisbane v North.
Geez Andy, we said we were sorry for leaving your little sis GC at the dance, she seems happy now you genetically modified the perfect partner (even with the speedos), can we have our bloody draw back next year?????????????
DURING THE GAME:
Wet. Wettest I've seen in Tassie for a bloody long time. That sideways rain that spits the beer from your plastic cup all over your soaked raincoat.

Ignore the brainwashed kiddies and goateed blue-collar tassie simple folk in the city of industry....
North are a well supported club in Northern Tasmania. Enjoy the low score and the insistent drizzle.
Hawthorn will have done a good job to have outnumbered the Ardent Northerners in Launceston...
I'll be the first to admit I didn't think we would have both blokes in the same side, but to be honest I am liking what I see. A lot.
Scotty is skilled and confident and is a great last-line link to McMahon/Urquhart/Pratt.
Narney is athletic for his size with a great grab and good aerobic...
I am responding to the reactions from many who are expressing their opinions over the past few months (and also very recently) from many people who should know better.
The opinions of some of our supporters are in need of some thought. Or as an old coach of mine always said, "you need to drop...
I have found the perfect opportunity for Hawthorn to strengthen their Tasmanian ties- join the re-vamped Tasmanian State League!
Imagine it Hawks fans, belting sides every week, Buddy kicking 22, drooling over percentage, playing the big derby against South Launceston- Brilliant.
And you...
So it's summer (the off-season is an awful Americanism, like "soft-core pr0n") and I've decided to do the unthinkable, and over-rate MY OWN SIDE. Yes, that's correct. I am actually contemplating putting hard-earned on the 'Roos.
But then I thought how many Northerners are there that take...
Who will care less?
At least Tottenham will have the excuse of losing it's star striker, where Hawthorn will just put an injunction out for theirs.......
North loss keeps driving AFL Hawks
The Age, September 9, 2008 - 7:42PM
The AFL semi-final loss to North Melbourne last year continues to drive Hawthorn as they push for their grand final destiny.
Vice-captain Luke Hodge and star forward Lance Franklin referred to the disappointment...
.....For the influx of Hawthorn Fans who have inexplicably got 'soiled' keyboards and 'water damaged' TV screens after Buddy kicked his 100 tonight.
Congratulations, Hawks fans. I was hoping that Carlton would do us all a favour and flog you tonight, but it looks like the only flogging is...
Correct me if i'm wrong, but we should be a monty for 4th with the Swannies capitulating unless Adelaide win the last two v Saints & Dogs.
Go you good things! As if I needed another excuse to support whover's playing the Crows.
We require a qualified person to undertake renovation work to a solid, reliable bandwagon that needs a update and fit-out; Last serviced in 1999.
Apply to North Melbourne Football Club, Arden Street, North Melbourne.
No tyre kickers need apply. Will be required for work through September...
You have to admit that on this year's games results there are indeed facts to back up this outlandish semi-inebriated boast.
Geelong won a tight one in round 11 with a near-full squad, and the return to the scene of one of their few losses in 2007 (round 5) at Skilled will be in Round 21...
If the kid pops out today and is a boy, and Hodge misses tonight's game, in twenty years' time will Hawks' supporters hate him retrospectively if he's a dud and can't play? I'd hold a grudge for that long.....
I don't know what is more exciting- the potential for Hawks or Cats supporters dying a little inside, or the red card mania that will ensue regardless of the outcome tonight.
Whatever the game's result, tomorrow will bring lovely, quiet peace to Bay 13, much like an old battlefield......
Caught Laidley's remarks after the game and (apart from the 'peace be with you' pope-pleaser) it seems that he is so relaxed/confident/zen master with the blend of youth and experience within the side that he sent the side out after half time with the instruction of ' just go for it'. Is it...
