Still have nightmares about last seasons game. Yes it was at Etihad, and we have had some personnel changes since, but they ran rings around us. We looked so slow

I heard that when Jack Viney jumps into the water he doesn't get wet. The water gets Jack Viney'd

---> North Melbourne board

No problems here. Just put my order in.

Said during the commentary that it was our first time past 150 points since round 6, 2004

What was the crowd figure to break even on gate takings? 17,000 or something like that? Good luck not having to send a cheque to Etihad if we play home games there vs interstate teams.

All the same people losing their sh*t over the game on the weekend are no doubt the same ones who say they'd consider a 10-12 win season to be progress. Wonder if they realise that actually means losing 10+ games??

Little Lucas waiting at the top of the race as the team came off after their warm up. CP5 went over to say g'day before Lucas handed him a Sherrin. TV camera down there.

So are you guys coming or what? Sitting inside the ground now, 45 mins to game time and there's 3000 at best in the seats... :/ Hope another 15000+ are on their way in

This may help... I havent't been to training this season, but assume the parking situation is the same/similar...

Surely Deledio wont play? Match fitness aside, they were saying on the radio last night that up until early this week he was only kicking around half sized (kids) Sherrins!

Anyone know? Is getting around on crutches iced up and putting some weight through the knee consistent with ACL?

He just came back to the bench on crutches with knee on ice. Seemed to be putting some weight on it. ACL?? 3-8-26 to 1-2-8 scorpions, 4 mins into 2nd

For anyone interested, Bernie is on the panel

34,637 up on the wall at the Demon Shop, which incidentally was chockers! Doing a roaring trade today

2014 it was 20th March, last year it was 26th March, so I would say this years one will be out fairly soon. If you call the HUN up they can give you the specific date for all teams.

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been said. I have noticed on multiple occasions from Roos when talking about Jesse specifically (end of years reviews... stuff like that), he has often used language like "Jesse needs to keep listening", "Jesse needs to keep learning".... etc Have found that quite interesting and assumed maybe there was a small element of FIGJAM behind the swagger we all love.

Heading down to watch the final round of the SRA spintcars series at Simpson speedway!

While I don't disagree at all, I am always conscious of the fact that not that long ago I/we were thinking the same thing about McLean, Sylvia, Moloney, Gysberts, Tapscott, Strauss, Morton... etc *shudders* Proof will be in the 5+ years from now pudding.

As mentioned already, this is a replacement home game, so anyone with an 11 game membership can get in. Edit - as long as someone at the MCG remembers to press the magic 'button'. Took a while to get in for the first of our replacement games last season.

On the same note, if and when he does re-sign and bucks the trend of "putting talks on hold = gone", then to the casual observer (idiot), it will make us look good.

I managed to get it up and read in full somehow. Cant now... :/ Story was mainly about Frost moving forward, but there was a couple of paragraphs at the end that said what Redleg mentioned earlier. Quotes I remember... - Hogan and his manager in preliminary discussions - Would be looking at $700,000+ per season which would make him one of highest paid players for his age in the game.

Thats awesome. Love the pack mark by Gawwwwn

Unintentional, but I'll claim it!
