We really have a tradition of selling home games don’t we. Perth Sydney Canberra Gold Coast Hobart Soon to be Perth again and Bunbury. You’d think us members would be used to it by now. I honestly don’t mind selling two games, but I just find selling four to be way too many. Our...

Ok, if true, I can make peace with this. One season of madness for contractual reasons then 9 home games at Docklands every season. It’s still weird to play West Coast or Freo in Perth as the home team but I can live with it as long as we have 9 home games at Docklands.

The more I think about this, the more I’m against it. If it was two games in WA, 9 at Docklands, I could live with it. 7 Docklands, 2 Hobart, 1 Perth and 1 Bunbury is just cooked. Imagine we start contending again and it’s 2nd vs 4th, North vs Freo in round 18. Huge massive match. And we...

It's a bad period of drafting. There's no need to sugar coat it. It's one of the primary reasons for our last five horrible seasons. But yeah you're right Garner could have been a good player. And McCay was actually quite a good pick at 21 and his being vastly overrated and offered a stupid...

In that era, Lmac was is the least of our issues draft-wise. 2011 Brad McKenzie 2012 Taylor Garner 2013 Luke McDonald 2014 Sam Durdin 2015 Ben McCay He stands out as the best first round pick of five years in terms of positive output for the club.

I always had a vague dream that 18 illegitimate Careys dotted around Melbourne would suddenly appear all at once and we would put together a super-team founded on Duck's exploits in nightclubs in the 90s. It wasn't to be.

I support Arsenal. Not as emotionally invested as I am with North but it's not too far behind. It's the only other team that can get my heart racing, or my blood boiling, or trigger a depressive episode... I don't have the time, or the emotional bandwidth to follow any other teams. I like...

No way, it's easily Liverpool. In the last 20 years: North have won: 0 premierships, best results being prelims in 07, 14, and 15 (crazy that '14 final is over ten years ago). Liverpool have won: 1 Premier League, 2 Champions Leagues (05, 19) 2 FA Cups (06, 22), 3 League Cups (12, 22, 24)...

I think there’s something wrong with you if that would annoy you…

All Australian is broken because the selectors are cowards. Inside mids are fetishised and outside players (who are equally critical to a successful team) are overlooked. They justify it by sticking an inside mid out there who “you could imagine being a good winger”. Have the balls to pick 3...

And a Geelong player did that vs us recently if I’m not misremembering and it was t given fifty

I agree our one is more clear cut. But last night was a fifty too.

I didn’t think Collingwood needed a refresh and then they did it and nailed it. Essendon can do the same. The American-style giant bird’s head trend needs to go (Baltimore Ravens, Phili Eagles etc.) I’d like to see Hawthorn re-embrace their old Hawk on a football motif (although people see...

St Kilda’s logo is iconic. Especially because it’s been around for as long as anyone can remember. Thicken the border slightly like on their anniversary logo and maybe make the shield slightly rounder. That’s all the change I could tolerate. Crows thank goodness. Time for that non-crow looking...

Ablett won a Brownlow in a very ordinary Gold Coast team

Sometimes I wonder whether North should have just kept the damn Canberra contract going instead of jumping to the Gold Coast all those years ago.

My first preference is 11 Home Games at Marvel. If this is unrealistic 9 Home Games at Marvel and 2 in a large Country Victoria Town (Bendigo, Albury-Wodonga, Shepparton all viable with small stadium upgrades) Third preference is 9 Home Games at Marvel and 2 somewhere more distant such as...

Is the Humphrey B Bear thing because that bear didn’t talk and Rioli was a quiet guy? I know that that could be seen a bit racially insensitive as lots of indigenous men are quieter types, sometimes interpreted as shy. I doubt very much that it was because the bear is brown?? Clarko’s sin...

Even if Sheezel wasn’t a player that wins his own ball and was a pure outside player, who cares? Knowing how to get outside possessions is a great skill. This seagull talk about some players as though it’s an insult is inane. Daicos gets it so much (and it doesn’t even apply). In North’s case...

Folks, folks, what are we talking about folks? There’s a guy Larry Sheezel… he’s not the sucker, you’re the sucker. he got 32 trillion, excuse me 32 billion dollars. What are we talking about, we’re the United States of America. Anyway… I don’t want to get into that.

You know who's playing well? McDonald. Nice to see

This team is so schizophrenic. They can look soo good and so bad

He's the best player, everyone says so. A tremendous player. All Australian is fake, what a shame, so sad. The only person who disagrees is Crooked Kane, that's what we call him, Crooked Kane.

Scott is a good player and I'll be very happy to keep him if we do. However, I'm not too worried if he goes. Firstly, he is a good player so we will get something decent in return. Secondly, wing / half back flank is a position we have a decent bit of depth: McErcher Hardeman Tucker Bergman...

Sheezel isn't flashy now? He's one of the most magical footballers I've ever seen. I think most people don't watch our games. That's understandable. I don't watch a lot of Freo (despite them being good) or St Kilda or loads of clubs that aren't either us or regularly on in the prime time slots...

It’s inevitable that Daicos and Sheezel will be compared throughout their careers. They have a lot of similar strengths and attributes, they’re a similar age and their statistical trajectory is extraordinarily similar. The two of them have broken the scale for what anyone can reasonably expect...

Peak Dane Swan was more eye catching than Pendlebury to the general public but to people who know football, the things Pendlebury did (does!) are infinitely more eye catching.

Really? Has Harley’s season really been commensurate with media hype? No doubt he’s going to be an absolute superstar. Power, speed, skill. He’s got it all. We’ve all seen moments in games that have taken our breath away. But is Reid’s 8 goal, 18 disposal, 4.8 clearance average season...

There’s a weird thing on our board where a few posters jump down the throats of anyone making a thoughtful criticism of a player. Meanwhile the game day threads are toxic dumpster fires of inane comments basically abusing players. It’s weird

Scott was excellent. You’re correct. I take that back. Bad take. I just wanted to give a little love to Dylan for once
