What is a likely date for the Best and Fairest for this season?

It's next week. December 7th.

 

[hilly]

yeah ok mine said leg12 so wasn't sure if i had to stick to that bay/stand number

good to know can pretty much sit anywhere then, might surround myself with the few lions supporters that are there to give a bit to them

I think all sold tickets are general admin but you can access the Legends Stand or any other seating (if there is any).

On SM-S901E using BigFooty.com mobile app

If anyone's still chasing grand final tickets, send me a DM as I have spares.

Are Horace, Hatchy1992, Bennymate etc still looking for tickets?





Me realising that I don't know how to tag someone properly on this site

Vision of Dakota training tonight moving ok but leg heavily strapped

But from crying thinking she’s done a serious knee injury to now playing is amusing

It’s the unexpressed turns that’ll be the problem plus collisions

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Getting nervous now.

Unfortunately not can't afford the $1000 return plus accommodation on a pension.

Cheer hard for all of us who can't get tickets please!!

Simple message driving North for AFLW grand final

Simple message driving North for AFLW grand final​

By Roger Vaughan

The phrase that best sums up North Melbourne's approach to the AFLW grand final won't be seen on any club T-shirts this week.
In the immediate wake of last Sunday's epic preliminary final win over Adelaide, North players and staff snapped up merchandise from the club shop.
The simple T-shirt design in their shopping baskets features a kangaroo and the logo "just you wait and see", taken from the club song.
But a four-word directive from coach Darren Crocker - "just get s**t done" - provides a better explanation for their barnstorming finals series.
In the aftermath of their three-point loss to Adelaide late last month, North went to work on how they close out tight games.

"We've watched the vision of it over and over and over again. And it was hard to relive," defender Jasmine Ferguson said of that round-nine loss to the Crows.
"Then we've trained it, just to know what to do in that situation. And we've termed it 'just get s**t done' - Crock has given us the leeway, he knows and has the confidence in us.
"Crock does like his one-liners, or something simple that everyone can remember.
"He's always been good at coming up with them and it always sticks in your head."
In the last two minutes of Sunday's preliminary final, Adelaide did not look like breaking through the wall that North set up across their half-forward line.
It means the Kangaroos know if this weekend's grand final against the Brisbane Lions at Ikon Park is tight, they can indeed get it done.
"We knew - we all had belief - we could do it," said defender Sarah Wright.
"We just needed to stick to our system and it will come, and it showed on the weekend.
"Going into this weekend, if it is a close game we all have belief and back each other that we can get through it."
North started the finals series viewed as a step below the AFLW's 'big three' - Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane.
First they monstered Melbourne in a qualifying final to turn the series on its head, then Crocker noted after Sunday they've won two out of three.


One of the keys to Sunday's frenetic last couple of minutes was the total teamwork, with players normally further up the ground, such as Kate Shierlaw and Mia King, mighty in their efforts.
Then there's captain Emma Kearney, the only AFLW player to make all eight All-Australian teams.
"She is the most reliable person in our team. She is just a true legend," Ferguson said.
"She does not want to lose. We play some tackling games ... you do not want to be in the opposite team to her, because she will take your head off.
"We have all copped a brutal spray from her, but it's always for the best, she means it from the best possible part of her heart."

Yeah the women’s side has come a long way in just a few short years. From being something to watch in the offseason to fill in time till the afl is back on , fans have really jumped on board.
Nerves are jingling in the gut - get it done

Create an @nmfcmens handle if needed and wear the nuffie complaints. Someone who just has more interest in mens than womens would have no issue with this: Complaints are precisely directed to say that "The real club is the boys club" founded on an explicitly misogynistic view. If we stand behind the inclusive words we so easily say we shouldn't be scared to refute that.

Agree 100%. But here's a quick example over on Twitter of the kind of attitudes that some nuffies still have (usernames deleted to deny them the attention they so desperately crave);







Imagine saying that a potential AFLW Premiership Cup sharing the space with the AFL Premiership Cups would be the 'final nail' of your support for this club? Geez that is shitty.

Piss off then. These women reach this level while holding down jobs, and many of them after being forced to stop playing because of medieval attitudes like this. It’s different but not less of a long process and level of commitment to be their best. Also, you don‘t watch Kearney and Mia King and Jas Ferguson and Gatty and Garner and Bruton go into contests, you are missing some all-time Shinboners.

This is huge for the club as we hoped for weeks ago. Now we go for gold but the AFLW contingent cracking a grand final has broken new ground for our club this millennium. Success breeds success.

If that's all it takes to get rid of that loser, then go North!!

Agree. You build any organisation to cater for your best people not your worst.

Oh, agree without question! Just saying the moderation of these types of nuffies is part of the consideration that goes into digital/social media planning. Especially since so many of our posts heavily include/involve our corporate partners.

Watching Jy and Jas get interviewed and the way that Jy conducted himself, I just couldn't help but think that the girls, through their work this year and earlier, are actually inspiring the boys to better levels next year and beyond.

Our club is an innovator and I think the way the whole club has embraced the AFLW (in my eyes at least) might be the blueprint for the future, being one club, two teams, both aiming for the ultimate goal every year and hopefully there are flags won by each team and all are celebrated equally by everyone who calls themselves a supporter of the NMFC.

"Just you wait and see". The motto adopted so beautifully by the girls this year.

The game is a sell out and I'm tipping its not Brissy fans.

Who cares what people on social media platforms apart from this one think, not sure why it needs to be posted here tbh.

Its not like the opinions of a very small but vocal minority are unkmnown to posters here lol.

Gunna need to add a second storey to it soon.

Direct response to a conversation about why the separate social media approaches from NMFCOfficial and NMFCWomens.

You don't have to try and dunk on me for every single post, mate. I'm not that into you.
