Let’s do a bit of an experiment, using data that we have on hand. What will the NMFC list look like in three years, at this point in 2023? Who will be gone and who will remain? In doing this it exposed to me the biggest strengths and weaknesses in our list, and perhaps will point to what our...

Yowzers!! North Melbourne will boast the biggest and best inner-city training complex in Melbourne under an ambitious plan submitted to the Victorian government. Under North's proposal, its Arden St headquarters' footprint would grow from 4.5ha to 11.2ha and would be upgraded to include: - An...

6 games in and the comp is starting to settle into the season now, with teams starting to settle into their relative positions on the ladder. We are 1-5 however I think the consensus is that we have played better footy than our record suggests. As such I though it a good time to do a bit of a...

For the eighth time in nine years, North Melbourne has recorded a profit. The club recorded a net operating profit of $470,046, while again reducing the club’s overall debt by a further $400,000 in the last financial year. Managing Director and CEO Carl Dilena said North Melbourne was in a...

In what is going to be a year of significant transition for the North Melbourne Football club it is clear that the team needs players to stand up and make a name for themselves, to get over the losses of club stalwarts and to announce themselves as genuine talents of the competition. In this...

Purple running with the AFL agreeing to purchase Etihad before the end of the year which should remove the drain of revenue from clubs based there. Intradasting...

Thinking about list development strategies and analysis I thought it might be an idea to put out list into groups of players, categorised by their importance to the team in terms of being a core part of our next flag. The caveat on this being that we are likely to plateau/drop before we...

Man, the last few weeks have been ******* frustrating. Just when we come into the tough part of the draw, where we get the chance to prove our credentials, we get smacked by key injuries which were compounded by already existing long term injuries to fringe best 22 types. To make matters...

Hi folks With the incessant chatter about the AFL's fiendish long term plan for a Tassie team, the drunken ramblings of a mindless journo and our boards refusal to make the co-location approach a constitutional no-no, I am curious as to how we the membership in Melbourne (and its surrounds)...

Basically the coach of the coaches, helping what is a relatively young group (sans Tudor) get the best out of themselves. Very interesting role.

Who do you want most to see play in the NAB and why? For me, Mullett: Injury has destroyed his last few seasons but now he is finally fit. I hope he gets a good run to show his wares off half back. Dumont: Is he ready to take the next step? Let's find out. Wood: Plenty of talent but does he...

All game day chat in here folks. Lets get it on!

Shinboner Spirit has always been hard to define or describe but North Melbourne has begun work to make finally make it something tangible. When Brad Scott arrived at the end of 2009, he felt the term Shinboner had been hijacked and used to describe the club as poor and battling. He felt that...

It's time to GET REAL The message is clear at North Melbourne in 2015; it’s time to GET REAL. With a team full of talent, experience and skill, the club is poised to take the next step after two finals wins last season. ‘GET REAL’ is more than just a gimmicky tagline designed to sell...

Yes, that's right folks, Werribee play Box Hill on the hallowed turf today at 4:30. Unfortunately it looks like there will be a maximum 2 North listed players running out. Werribee v Box Hill Friday March 27, 4:30pm Arden Street Probable North-listed players - Scott McMahon - Ed Vickers-Willis

The club this week released their annual report for 2014, which can be found at http://www.nmfc.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/NorthMelbourne/Files/NMFC_2014Financials.pdf A basic glance shows that revenue has increased by over $2 million on 2013 to over $34 million, footy department spend...

The NMFC has recorded an operating profit of $423,074 for 2014 and has knocked off another $700,000 from their debt, leaving another $2.05 million to go. In am environment where many clubs are recording losses this is a very good result.

The price of crude oil has fallen by 25% in recent months which has had a significant impact upon those nations that rely on its production as the basis of their economies. OPEC nations such as Venezuela and Nigeria are suffering significant impacts due to this downturn in price, yet despite...

http://www.nmfc.com.au/news/2014-11-20/replacement-games-confirmed The AFL has confirmed the three replacement games North Melbourne members will have access to in 2015, in lieu of the club's home matches in Hobart. A Friday night blockbuster against Essendon is up first in Round 7 at Etihad...

I use the term Analysis in the title lightly. As it stands we are in the midst of a finals series and all eyes are focussed on the here and now, which is as it should be. However I am sure that the club is and has been working towards developing a list for long term success for quite some time...

Fellow Shinboners, As part of a BigFooty wide initiative, we are seeking feedback from you all about the North Board. What works, what doesn't, how we moderators are doing and what we can do to make it better. Vote in the poll, but take some time to give us your thoughts. This thread will...

Hello fellow NMFC tragics. By * has it been a tough few weeks and that loss to the Lions on the weekend has really topped off what has been a trying season to this point to say the least. Accordingly the ‘vibe’ of this joint has been somewhat vitriolic of late and justifiably so given the...

We may be a long way out from draft day, Grand Final Day, Finals, ASADA Show Cause Day etc. but the next crop of AFL hopefuls are strutting their stuff in the national champs as we speak. How may picks will we have? What type of players should we be looking at? Who are the players that should...

Lets get it on.

Looks like JZ is a worry. Have a it.

Hi my beautiful NMFC brethren and sisteren(?), Gotta love the first team selection s**t fight of the year. Dreams will be realised, hearts will be broken, teeth gnashed and hands wrung into a twisted mash of flesh and bone. Have at it in this wonderful thread, this cathartic explosion of...
