    Past #15: Daniel Howe - #31 in '14 ND to HFC - delisted end '22 - #33 in '23 RD to NM -retires from AFL & NM end '23 - 107 AFL games / 11 NM games

    He honed his boundary line kicking in that game - used it to great effect against the tigers, just didn't see arguably the best player in the past 20yrs standing right in front of him.

    I reckon we got the rub of the green in that decision. To me the ball went OOB well before the siren and should have been called a Freo free. Anyway, that last 10mins was the definition of winning ugly.

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part II] - will honor his contract and play on at NMFC in 2024, so says the reality TV manager

    Didn't say what we would accept, but rather what they're thinking is.

    That's easy...they're not planning on giving us their first round pick for Thomas. It's obvious.

    Past #3: Jed Anderson - delisted end '22 - 89 NMFC games - go well Jed

    Happy with this decision. Tough as a cats head but not a good ball user at all. On fully onboard with the Clarko doctrine. Not fit, can't dispose of it, there's the door.

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    Thought it was his best game until a head knock somewhere halfway in the 3rd. Wasn't quite the same after but had 21 mates.

    Past #7: Jack Ziebell [Part II] - retires post-RFC game/280gm&183gl/6yr captain - Shinboner - assaulted post-RFC game& in hospital - get well soon JZ

    Noble didn't Patch won't as he's a former team mate Pot Leon Cameron all you want but he did with Cognilio and he was doing mich better than Jack!

    We don't have the balls to drop him. At least Cameron could do it with Cogs when he didn't deserve his spot any more. Stop bleating about it and get used to the fact it's just another sign of how piss poor this club is.

    Past #10: Ben Cunnington - will retire from the AFL after * game - 238 games/95+ goals/2x Syd Barker Medalist/Shinboner - thanks for everything Cunners

    Waller never took Winx to Dubbo when she came back from a spell. Same happens here - straight back in please.

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    I think you're mistaking a life-long supporter of a club vs someone that is ultimately an employee of 5 months.

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    Yeah but similarly in December I was discussing with my mates how exciting 2022 was going to be. You know, with all that improvement to come naturally on the back of a good back end to 2021, the further improvement from guys like Stevo, Zurhaar, LDU and Corr back to bolster the backline with...

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    Why would he stay? Uncompetitive on the field, with team mates who are unskilled / unmotivated x home games in Tassie in front of 8,000 people y home games at Marvel where there are more oppo fans than North fans Leadership headed by Ziebell and Kayne f***ing Turner Coach seemingly (for...

    Past #4: Shaun Higgins - Higgo traded to Geelong for 2020 #30 - 2x Syds/108 NM gms/96 NM gls - thx Higgo

    Depends if it is the top or bottom half of the hour.

    Past #6: Taylor Garner - delisted end '21 - 49 NM games/37 NM goals - go well Garns

    I'm firmly in the de-list camp - what are we waiting for here?? It isn't like he shot the lights out when he finally did manage to string some games together in a few patches last year - close to 0.5 goals a game in 9 appearances. That, combined with his very suspect body means time to let go.

    Past #50: Ben Brown - Traded to Melbourne with 2020 #28 + 2021 R4 for 2020 #26 #33 + 2021 R4(Bris) - 130 gms / 287 gls - thanks Ben

    Blaming the Suns lol. We played rhe 2nd worse team in the comp without their best KPD on our "home deck" and BBB kicked 2. Take a look at our own sh*t that contributed to this mess.

    Past #28: Kayne Turner - pick #25 in '14 RD - delisted end '22 - re-listed w/ #39 in '22 RD - delisted end "23 - 111gm/58gl - thx Kayno

    Couldn't agree more. He is largely ineffective and cannot fathom game time over 2018.

    Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

    Agree - will be a lengthy holiday for LT. Watching him play the first few rounds of the year and the amount of niggle/off the ball stuff he was bringing, I cannot say I am surprised. I hope he makes it back as is truly one of our most gifted players but looks a mile off it in terms of effort...

    Past #8: Daniel Wells - joins Collingwood as a FA - North get pick #32 as compensation

    What's more salient is to analyse who is taken at 32 or worse, as that technically is what pick 32 gets you.

    Past #8: Daniel Wells - joins Collingwood as a FA - North get pick #32 as compensation

    Personally wouldn't mind if he departed, I think one year is the maximum we could provide and if he can get two years elsewhere, so be it. As we are clearly attempting a re-build I am not too disappointed and if there is a little compensation (not sure exactly) in return via compensation picks...

    Past #20: Drew Petrie - NM '01-'16 (324gms/428gls) - WCE '17 (8gms/16gls) - thx for everything Drew

    Unfortunately, Drew's biggest contribution to the club over the past year or so has been how to raise your arms apologetically, to show to the umpire that you are just manning the mark and not infringing and causing a 50m. Unfortunately the rate at which Drew is out-marked by his opponent means...

    Past #35: Aaron Black - 50 NM games - 64 goals - traded to Geelong for pick 92 in '16 trade period

    A shadow of 2013...staggering how far he has fallen.

    Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

    Despite his 1st class attitude and attack on the ball, honestly I couldn't see Sugar producing ~30-40 goals a year. Would we have gotten over Melbourne without him? Maybe, maybe not. Garner may be a more capable replacement (vs Sugar) in the longer term but I do see a real downside if he were...

    Past #29: Brent Harvey - drafted w/ #47 in '95 ND - 432 games/518 goals for NM - AFL games record holder

    If they were half reasonable, the games immediately after when he SHOULD break the record should also be in Melbourne, to allow for maybe a 1 or 2 week injury...beyond that I agree you cant plan for it but would be a nice contingency...

    One week is fair...surprising actually...a reasonable outcome.
