This is number 5. Clubs are not interchangeable. They stand for things. I love that North is proud of who it is, and I'm lucky that it aligns with my thinking. People who don't identify would be better off going somewhere that suits them better.

Good one. You used the wrong name. Noticed. Changed. Sky didn't fall. It's ok if we collectively do the same with Arden.

It probably needs another thread, but there's no question that the names we choose now reflect on who we are today, even if the person lived 300 years ago. It says a lot about us if this is the name we choose to celebrate, despite being aware of the owner's views. I understand that most of us...

North men’s have the worst ever period for anyone. AFL media: “They brought it on themselves. They need to make themselves a destination club totally without Puma/Cotton On/Visy/Hungry Jacks. Death to priority picks”. North women’s win a premiership after 2-3 teams dominate over a long period...

I am so looking forward to hearing Kelli Underwood's crisp articulation of Eliza Shannon and Eilish Sheerin running off the HBFs.

She's very good but she's 32. Interesting move. edit: Kearney replacement?

I called my son Luke just for this gag. When he picks up his food with his fingers I say “Use the fooooork.”

Nice of an umpire to sing that for her.

It's a trick show.

So just All Australian Captain, Norm Smith, B&F in the most dominant premiership team in history. And Shinboner of the year. Next year I expect Best Young Player too.

Great to see Bella up so high. Alice O for Shinboner please!

In for $50.

You aiming to take up umpiring?

We're going back to back for sure. There's no stopping this guy.

I've had the game on repeat on the projector while I work but only now I've been able to sit down and watch a full replay. A few things stand out that haven't been mentioned much: The first few minutes were quite even. Brisbane had a couple of good opportunities that were messed up through...

Is a question mark too much to ask?

The way you get through that pressure is by feeling the solidarity of a united and supportive team behind you. Exactly the thing that a hazing / initiation culture undermines.

Too true. I'm resigned to waiting until 2025.

The players in this VFL team played 138 senior games last year. Exactly 6 each week on average. Essentially the senior team has switched: Ford -> Parker Pink -> Darling K Dawson -> Goater Tucker, Fisher -> Daniel, Hardeman Stephens -> FOS All of the originals still there as depth. Bottom 6 is...

Whichever one it is that doesn't have Danielle Ponter and Dakota Davidson.

Oh yeah. We have the talls. We have the smalls. We have the Wall(s)!!!

ChatGPT says we shouldn't be disadvantaged next week based on the expected humidity and temperature for both games, assuming heat mitigation measures and good recovery. Yay! Conclusion: Both scenarios would result in minimal performance reduction a week later (<1–2%) with good mitigation and...

"We're just rapt with this pick. Couldn't believe he was still on the board."

We are moving to “win” mode. Some budget mature age to fill immediate gaps. Bringing forward as much draft capital as we can to make the most of LDU, Larkey and Logue. Next year we go all in on FAs.

I hope we use the lack of an F1 as a mindset changer as to who we are and what we expect from ourselves: mid table in 2025. Clearly the trade period reflects an instruction from the top that it is time to start winning. It's only so long that 'process-focus' stays credible. We have...

Clearly Brady is closely following what's going on in Ukraine and is factoring in the Nuclear Wipeout of October 2025.

"In the end we are ok with the result but I wish someone had reminded me that Tauru was still available"
