How many players on our current list would you be staunch to hold onto? For me, it’s 6. The remainder - wouldn’t lose any sleep over. Am I being harsh?

NMFC or Kelli Underwood?

I just proposed the question to my best mate Fat Stav: Of the 3 young gun small forwards in the AFL, who would you prefer - Crafty Mahony, Pickett or Weightman? As Stav said, you couldn’t go wrong with any of the 3. Sure, Crafty looks older than what he really is, but he has serious upside. The...

The way I see it, our 2 major issues are: 1. Lack of leg speed, spread, run and carry through the midfield 2. Lack of a quality small forward who can actually hit the scoreboard. I'm just hoping like Uncle Buck that these 2 issues are addressed over summer via trades/draft/training. If...

I was in the CBD at Brash’s watching the moon landing with hundreds of other folk on black and white TV’s. You could cut the atmosphere with hot butter. I was standing on a milk grate when an elderly lady tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to step down. I proceeded to spit at her...

I think Brisbane are the real deal. And I don’t mind that we’re 0&2 because as Mr Scott said, Fremantle and Brisbane are quality sides. And even if we lose tomorrow against Hawthorn, it doesn’t bother me because they won 3 flags in a row. Plus, I’ve just had another significant pay increase so...

Our round 1 clash vs Freo is gonna clash with the Commitment Ceremony on MAFS. The AFL fixturing department really know how to give it to us.

Great night at the Melbourne Pavilion. Unfortunately I couldn’t get there as I just realised this morning that my wife was in Europe. But quality food on hand was a winner, although the lack of a donut wall was disconcerting. It was great catching up again with a few guys I hadn’t met before...

So it’s ok for airlines to rip us off at the bowser by hiking up prices during the finals, but as individuals, we’re not allowed to make a few bucks by scalping a GF ticket??? It stinks to high hell. When you guys played WC in the 2015 Prelim in Perth, it was cheaper for me to fly to India first...

It seems like a lot from where I sit.

I am FURIOUS. I paid good money to go down to the Sleepy Willow today and the mobile phone coverage was non-existent. ZERO!!!! As the saying goes, we could put a man on Mars, but we couldn’t put one on Martina Hingis. I gave up trying to let my mum know what I wanted for dinner after 1/4 time...

i can’t think of one. Has it been coached out of our game?

Who was the last guy to do it for us? Darren Steele in Sydney? It just baffles me how other clubs often have a few players get 30+ touches in a game - our midfielders all seem to max out at 25-30 with more than a handful stuck at 10-15. Who is the last NM player to get 40+ touches in a game &...

Not sure if the stats back it up but we seem to be clocking up a lot of goal-less quarters of late. Another 2 last night. I’m predicting 14 goal-less quarters by the mighty NMFC this year.

Amidst all the doom and gloom, finally a ray of light. NMFC launched its Gender Equality Action Plan today. The first sporting organisation in Australia to do so. We might not be kicking a lot of goals on-field, but off-field, it’s raining goals!!!! It’s hard not to get excited my friends.

Where in the hell is this motion coming from? I’m sick to deaf of hearing about it. I’ve got like 17-18 mates who barrack for us, and then there’s another 82 of my mates who wished they barracked for you guys. And some of them are grown men. One thing I’ve never understood though is why NM is...

I've had a cool $27 bet with one of my 612 mates (he's the guy who actually invented the bunny-hop move on a BMX believe it or not). He reckons the big bear Norm from Shirls Neighbourhood wore a NM scarf whereas I am adamant that he wore a Gold Coast Suns scarf. And I know I'm right because...

Hard to split them. Both round 23 games at Etihad and all done with oozing class. I shared a tear last year when Boomer winked at me as he was cheered off, and I'm boiling my eyes out tonight. Hats off to NM for setting the template and kudos to Hawks and WB for following suit.

Wear my NZI tracksuit, paint my face Braveheart-style, stand in front of a full length mirror & thrust my hips back & forward while humming AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". I suggest you all do the same. All of you. You'll soon get it.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Goldy has been our only A Grader for the last few years and now that he has plummeted to a C Grader, I dare say, that Tazza is our only A-Grader. Some may argue Cunnington is an A-Grader but he is too inconsistent to be considered an A Grader IMO. And his lack of run either way doesn't help...

Tough one to call which club got the better of that one.

It was brought to my detention that Cameron Joyce and co. were super keen on snaring Chris Mayne last year............am I missing something?????

I was staggered by the absence of Royal Children's Hospital tin rattlers at Etihad yesterday. Zondor had $69 in loose change ready to donate but had to carry it all home. His pants were down around his ankles by the time we got home. Thankfully he was wearing lycra underneath. And then to my...

At 3/4 time on Sun vs WC, I checked the AFL App Fantasy points for the game - Josh Kennedy was on 90, Andrew Swallow was on 89. I literally LOL'd.

To attend every night game we play in 2017 come hay or come shine. On a personal note, I'm aiming to run 1000 kms a month. I've really plonked on the weight after getting gastro last week, and that's on top of getting a DVD in my right leg in August after playing Mahjong for 23 hours straight...

It could get ugly next Sat as we rest our stars vs GWS. Will the AFL need another rule change?

He told the world "12 wins guarantees finals." He has been proven right yet again. Line up and apologise please. I'll get the ball rolling: Sorry Mr Scott.

It was great to see Phelpsy naming his first born son after the great man Boomer. They obviously have a terrific ritual respect for eachother. I remember when NM beat Melb by 100+ points in 1996 on the Friday night when Carey kicked 11 goals, and the following morning, McAvaney had just...

i guess we all have differing thoughts as to which of the older boys should be moved on at seasons end. But in reality, I feel Mr Scott is too much in love with the playing group and I actually wouldn't be surprised if Waite, Nicky Dal, Spud, Petrie, Boomer etc were ALL offered 1 year contracts...
