AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[Gumble Frankieton]

I'm really starting to dislike this bunch of capricious campaigners that we know as the Footy Gods.
Clearly the club is cursed.
The evidence would suggest that the curse started kicking in when we signed Leigh Colbert

from Geelong.
That was our Icarus moment.
Next thing we are signing Lance Picioane and the club has become the Leyland Bros of the AFL.
Cursed I tells ye.
Now there is only one surefire way to end the curse and that is human sacrifice.
But Colbert seems like a decent bloke.
And, selfishly, I don't want a lack of pilots to ruin my upcoming trip to somewhere warm.
Another sacrificial lamb is needed.
Latest research indicates offering up Kane Cornes in Colbys old jumper would be a suitable alternative.
The curse gets lifted and joy abounds.

How do you like Geelong's armchair ride? They get all 4 expansion teams and we only get one. We play the top 3 teams and they only get one of them.

They won’t make the finals with that fixture anyway

 

[Teen Wolf]

I wouldn't say Vikki's lack of commitment to this season is a matter for the football gods.

Not like Erika being fully committed last season, and then missing the finals with a freak injury. It was also a bigger disruption and shock to the team's system, whereas the writing has been on the 'Wall' for a while.

It’s genuinely the first I’ve heard anything about it, why would she have made that call? Is the all Ireland games on or something?

Who’d want to spend winter in Ireland instead of being in sunny Melbourne

Me, to be sure

Trying to make it into Ireland's rugby sevens team for the Olympics in August next year.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

No mention in this article back in May of not returning. Rugby might of been the tipping point?

Vikki Wall: ‘If I was as intense as I am on the pitch in everyday life, I don’t think I’d have many friends’

It looked like Vikki Wall’s Meath career would be forced on the back-burner when she signed on the dotted line with North Melbourne last autumn, but there was simply no way the 24-year-old could turn her back on the Royals.

I can think of a few reasons

 

[King Corey]

Ireland is overrated.

Come at me.

Challenge accepted.
Now to sort out the details; do you prefer duelling pistols or duelling banjos? To the death naturally.

Banjos everyday.

Assertion 2.

San Francisco is overrated.

Ok… assertion 2 has redeemed you

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Smart choice with the banjo, much lower chance of a misfire.

I'm with you on the San Francisco call. This may be largely due to the mad case of food poisoning my mate and I got there. We ate some eggs on the morning of his wedding that later almost got me arrested. Took about 5 days before I could fart with confidence.

Never, ever, trust a fart!

Also when is our new Irish recruit arriving? Niamh Martin

Very soon.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Niamh Martin On her way!

 

[Shinboner1]

So we getting another player now that Wall has left?

I think we are holding out hope she comes in at some point in the season even for a few games

Confirmed Vikki to miss the season
1 month to find a replacement now

Why would you want to attend the Olympic Games (and probably finish no better than fourth) when you could win a Premiership at North Melbourne?

Seems ludicrous to me,

 

[muttley45]

Vicki will be missed, but you can't begrudge someone a probably once only crack at being an Olympian, sounds like she will be back, so i wish her well, except v Australia, and look forward to seeing her plough through a few opponents like a wrecking ball.

Well she can still do both, it's just a matter of the order she does it in.

From getting the "you're too rough" calls in Gaelic, then the "your handballs are too fast" calls here, perhaps rugby umpires are on her wavelength a bit more.
