    Poll: How did you get into supporting North?

    My family moved to Melbourne in the mid eighties. The Melbourne side of the family were all die hard Saints fans but seeing that they were terrible I decided I'd go my own way. The finals that year had Essendon, North, Hawks, Dogs I think and I was never a bandwagon type so decided not to pick...

    List Mgmt. Poll: Who do we take with pick 2 or do we trade it?

    I vote for the best available player which I think is FOS, but wouldn't be unhappy if we trade it for two first rounders as long as it was 6,9 or 6,10. Anything lower and it wouldn't be worth it.

    With the draw we have a fast start is important I think...All very winnable games. That was the case last year and when we got some form the draw was tougher and then the injuries hit. Leeds put a stronger side out then ours I think...we basically played our fringe players, so it was a...

    How we feeling about this year Boro fans? This is probably as optimistic and I've been for a while. Great coach, good depth and plenty of young talent. Signings are looking pretty good so far too. It's been a while...time for promotion? :)

    Opinion Commentary & Media VII

    I’ll go against the grain and say having dual captains has been a win…we’ve been that bad that putting all the pressure of captaincy onto one person would have broken them. You’ve seen Jy grow into the role and imo it’s thanks to having Luke there to lean on…now we look like we are finally...

    Player Watch #4: Aidan Corr - the Mac Daddy of the King Twins.

    Yeah that's my thoughts too. He deserved criticism early in the year but has been very good for quite a while and the criticism after a lack of discipline in a game the defence was under immense pressure is over the top. He is part of the reason the defence has improved and when Logue is back...

    Another season just about done. I’ve actually enjoyed the season and think we did well considering the amount of injuries we had. A better start next season is essential if we are ever going to get promoted. Some decent players coming through…it’ll be interesting to see if we spend or sell.

    How do fans of smaller clubs in big European leagues keep following/support a league where the same few teams always win it?

    In my case you follow a club because of family and roots and I don’t really care how any other side does. I was lucky enough to go to the Carling Cup win Boro had in 2004 which is our only major trophy and I doubt any Man Utd or Liverpool fan feels the joy Boro fans did when we won that…maybe...

    Autopsy Autopsy V Carlton

    Too angry at umpiring to be angry at our players 😂 Hard to see where a win is coming but at least you can see a semblance of a game plan for the first time since Rhys Shaw was appointed. Think Corr, Stephenson, Tucker must be close to being replaced. Positive result and performance in VFL...

    List management 101 (69?)

    I didn’t say it did and hadn’t mentioned a coach. I said they got rebuild one wrong, then they got rebuild two wrong and now we’ve started a third or is it fourth? Who knows, but we screwed up and have been paying a price as supporters for too long…I have high hopes, fingers and every other...

    List management 101 (69?)

    GWS were in the bottom 4 midway through last season. When it turns it turns quick but if you get the decisions wrong it'll be back to square 1. When we started our rebuild we got decisions wrong, then we got them wrong again. This rebuild only started 2 drafts ago with Sheezel and Wardlaw and...

    Laurie’s seems to attract the AFL kids…Hodge coaches one of the teams as well doesn’t he? Another bit of useless trivia since Jack Payne was mentioned…Fairly sure he was a BFNAAK…second hand info so not certain but my daughter went to the same school and was friends with his sister. It’s a...

    List Mgmt. 2023 Trade & List Management Thread

    So we give up picks 2, 11 and 17 to move up one spot? I’d want to blow something up if we did that. Giving up Ports pick to move up 1 spot seems a bit excessive to me! 😬

    We dominated the first half and played well. Barlasser in particular was good. Bola in midfield didn't work imo but we will have Hackney back to take his place. Have we heard what the go is with McGree and Fry? Fry is the main issue because McNair at the back worries me :)

    Fingers crossed for the play-offs. Fair to say we got rorted by the ref v Luton this morning, so hopefully things even out during the big games to come. Been a great season, hopefully we get what will be a well deserved promotion, but tightening up set piece defending would help!

    Game Day Match Sim - Roos v Tigers - Arden St - 10am

    After watching us get beat by 1000 points in the past couple years during pre season, I’ve got to say that was much better. Lots of mistakes which is expected, but lots of positives as well. Sheezel showed class, LDU got it plenty even if his distribution wasn’t spot on…can’t say I agree with...

    Game Day Intraclub- Roos v Roos Sat Feb 18th -Arden St

    He took about 4 important marks in the first qtr for the 2nds defence. Looked the best player on the park in the first qtr and will make such a difference to this team...swapped sides in the 2nd qtr and didnt have much to do..

    Game Day Intraclub- Roos v Roos Sat Feb 18th -Arden St

    I thought all the big men showed something today. Can't say I have been a fan of Xerri so far, but he did well today. CCJ took a couple of good grabs and Free showed a bit as well. We might actually have some pressure to perform coming from the twos.

    Yep...but he's looked great whenever he's had it. Certainly a good player in there.

    Not just a best run, but if you've been lucky enough to watch the games, we are playing a great style of football. We are fun to watch! Been a while since we've been able to say that consistently.

    My go at Rnd 1 before any pre season injuries hit. Ziebell Logue Corr Hall McKay LMac Scott LDU Howe Sheezel Comben Curtis Stevo Larkey Zurhaar Goldy Cunnington Simpkin Goater Phillips CCJ Shiels Sub Archer or Taylor Doubt Tucker is ready for Rnd 1. I'd assume the team will look much...

    “We’ve got super Michael Carrick” Another good win but more importantly we are playing really good football atm. Long may it continue into 2023. Happy New Year Boro fans.

    Well what a shizen season this has been…thought Wilder might do well but not to be…Losing Tav has shown our midfield is dour and pretty one paced…hopefully Carrick can have a good go at it and we can get away from the bottom…UTB

    Game Day 2022 AFL National Draft Thread (North's current picks - Sheezel, Wardlaw, #23, #63)

    If you are looking at it from a glass half full perspective you can say the swap with GWS is null and void as we will be selecting the exact same player at 2 as we would have at 1 because GWS are taking Cadman...Therefore we received 3, Ports F1 40 and 43 for JHF and a F3 tied to Freo ... That...
