Jason Horne-Francis could win 7 brownlows and Port's future 1st could be pick 18 and we still will have won this trade. Sheezel and Wardlaw are the best thing to happen to this club in a long time.
People pointing to the fact that the best player in the 2023 draft didn't play today, to which I agree it's even more impressive we won without Colby McKercher
How we got pick 3 and Zane Duursma and replaced Ben McKay with a younger, more athletic, better user, better interceptor, more aggressive and more loyal key defender is beyond me 💙🤍
What a warming story seeing someone get best on ground for the team they grew up supporting. Congrats Nathan Toner. Gatorade shower in the Carlton change rooms for you
The fact that Hugh Greenwood has not been getting a game in the worst side in the comp is absolutely criminal.
He is the vocal leader, tackler, big body, resting forward, backup ruck, experienced cool head, and shinboner that leaves everything on the field that the team needs.
Where is Ross Lyon's apology? Jy Simpkin's health is the concern here, not fucking Jimmy Webster's feelings. Ross Lyon picks the teams and is responsible for how they act on the field.
Clarkson's apology: "I was deeply disturbed seeing our captain Jy Simpkin forced from the field as a result of a heavy collision just before quarter time," Clarkson told 9News.
"Jy has had a great pre-season and has now had three concussions in 12 months and I was so
Just fucking insanity. You'd think from this treatment he'd just tried to ruin someone's life by taking their head off outside the play in a preseason game, smiled about it, and his family championed online showing what he stood for.
Oh wait that's the cunt Clarko yelled at.
Alastair Clarkson has been handed a $20,000 fine, suspended two-week suspension (until the end of 2025), and must complete pride in sport training, approved by the AFL.

I love how Essendon claim to not care about the rivalry but cheer as if they won the granny when beating the bottom team by 1 goal with their 3 best players out
I'm still in disbelief that this North team gave up 6 straight goals and all momentum in front of a home Perth crowd in the last qtr and lost the lead with 5 mins to go and managed to wrestle back and kick the last 2 goals to win. Been a minute since we showed that much fight
Honestly so fucking proud. Better team all day. Missed easy set shots. Umpires against us again. Despite all that you give us 30 more seconds and we win. Shinboners 💙🤍
Big blow for the Blues. Harry McKay is OUT of the Carlton side tonight with a virus. He woke up sick. He did pass all concussion tests and trained fully on Wednesday.

North fans, we are learning a new game plan, we have our 2 captains out & depleted backline against the flag favourites, expectations should be tempered. Just enjoy the positives. That being said I've put my house on them winning and you should too. This is financial advice. 💙🤍
News flash: you can lose by 10 goals, be the worst team on the day and deserve to lose, but also get fucked over by the umps. They aren't mutually exclusive.

If the draft is such an adequate equalisation system, Chris, then why aren't Nick Daicos, Will Ashcroft and Jed Walter on our list? How come Geelong had pick 7 last year after winning a flag?
"Without this blatant manipulation."
Fair to say Chris Scott and Ross Lyon have some issues with North's assistance package.

Hahahaha Carlton players and fans are so fucking plastic. Biggest hypocrites around. Every neutral calling them out for the most bias umpire treatment week in week out.
Needs to also be a please explain on how Nick Larkeys head wasn't protected more.
"I think the De Koning camp is angry ... those around him will ask some questions of the AFL, backed up by vision."

NEVER IN DOUBT I LOVE THIS CLUB SUCK SHIT WET TOAST YOU CHEATING PRETENDERS HAHAHAH NORTH PREMIERS 2024 25 26 27 EVERY OTHER CLUB IS DOGSHIT YOU'RE ALL NOT WORTHY BOW DOWN TO THE SHINBONERS WE ARE NEVER GOING TO LOSE AGAIN!!!!!! 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍🦘🦘🦘
Fans of clubs that were gifted multiple pick 1s as priority picks from the AFL are complaining that North may be getting pick 1 from ladder position and pick 2 from a RFA leaving which has nothing to do with AFL assistance 😂
St Kilda receives first round compensation pick for Josh Battle’s free agency move to Hawthorn.
Falls after their pick 7, so Saints receive pick No.8

If other clubs and the AFL are so concerned about comprised drafts when it comes to North receiving draft assistance, fine. But give us JUH, Nick Daicos, Will Ashcroft and Jed Walter then you hypocritical fucks. Otherwise shut your damn pie hole and give us some proper assistance
Much has been said of late about Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge’s decisions on team selection and the use of sub.
This week, it’s highly-rated youngster Ryley Sanders who’s been subbed for the second time in five matches, much to his disappointment.
📰 Live blog:
Ask a fan about their clubs first premiership and they'll go back to 1907.
Speak to a fan about draft assistance from the AFL and their recollection only dates back to 2020. Truly amazing stuff.
North Melbourne have moved to avoid another Jason Horne-Francis scenario, extending the contract of prized draftee George Wardlaw after just one match at AFL level.
Ben Cunnington 😭😭😭😭 my 2nd favourite player of all time after Glenn Archer. The epitome of Shinboner. Just so happy his health is in a good place, coz that takes precedence over footy. All the best legend 💙🤍💙🤍
If you're wondering why North were bottom 2 again this year it doesn't help that we had 11 season ending injuries this year. Imagine trying to play with a quarter of your list out for the season
Can't be arsed doing a revised mock draft coz I keep changing my mind but here are my picks for North
What I think:
2: McKercher
3: Duursma
15: Hardeman
17: Goad
18: Dawson
What I hope:
2: McKercher
3: Duursma
15: Wilson
17: Hardeman/Collard
18: M.Edwards/Green
Trade for Dawson
It's time to honour one of the modern greats of Essendon!
Dyson Heppell is hanging up the boots at the end of the season and has suited up alongside some club greats!

We were always going to give up the lead but I was not expecting us to have the game snatched from us by the umpires, honestly so fucking good from the boys. Comben was definitely right
Lucky we played an injured Comben. Lucky we didn't debut anyone. Lucky we didn't try any players coming off contracts that would have played for their careers. It's really paying off this winning culture and team selection 👍
Can't believe Hawthorn are getting Petracca, Perryman, Battle, Barass, Bontempelli, Robbie Nahas, Derrick Rose, Rodney Dangerfield and Charles the Bald this offseason.....all for a couple of 2nd rounders !!
I don't get the criticism around Comben. Yeah he isn't clunking everything but that will come and we've seen him do it at VFL. He doesn't get beaten in the air and throws himself at everything, he takes a key defender from Larkey, and his pressure on defence is 2nd to none
Jackson Archer is growing every week.
The confidence to come off his man and take on greater intercepting responsibility as Comben moved forward really impressed me.
Fast becoming one of the most important pieces of our backline 🙌
A pair of prized draft picks are already making an impact at North Melbourne. A new role up forward could cost Harry Sheezel a piece of footy history but he and George Wardlaw have designs on delivering long term success.
