Make North Melbourne (Men) Great Again

@JoshLFC_6 Wouldn't have bruised a grape.

The club is fucked beyond repair

@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus Not a question but Damo back in the tent at North?

@RonnyLerner Should have given him one of your 'Norf' zingers.

For those interested, I asked North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson a few questions last night about the impact the AFL Bondi tribute fiasco might've had on the club's Jewish star Harry Sheezel, following another stellar performance from the young gun against Port Adelaide. Below are Clarko's answers, which I thought were excellent. They dwarfed anything we've heard from the AFL over the weekend. Andrew Dillon and co. could learn a thing or two. ------------------------------------------------------- Q: Have you had to get around, or have a chat, to Harry Sheezel this week, given the revelation of the AFL taking out references to the Jewish community in that Bondi tribute? Have you had to get around him and have a chat to him? And if so, how is he feeling about it? A: No. You know, Harry’s as mature a kid as you could possibly have and he does that in his own private way with his family and friends and he’s got the full support of our footy club. But he and we don’t want to use AFL footy as a platform to push any cause. At the appropriate time, you know, we’ll all provide whatever support to any group of people who are finding it tough to live in this great country of ours and we want to open arms for everyone that wants to grace these shores and live (in) what is, I reckon, the best country in the world. Q: Is it a bit contradictory when the AFL tries to paint itself as diversity and inclusion and they do something like that? Do you have any thoughts on that? A: No. No. I don’t want to weigh in on it, mate. You know, we’re here to play footy, Harry Sheezel’s here to play footy and make his family, his friends and his footy club proud and I thought that was the case today.

@equaldogs Agreed not all of us get never ending academies, zones, f/s etc.

imagine xerri having to go back to playing for north melbourne after this

@cleary_mitch I think there's a lot more to come from you and I completely believe you've got what it takes.

People at Hawthorn say AI has become Sam Mitchell’s new obsession. He uses it daily to help in his game preparation… from opposition analysis and game trends, to creating conversation starters with his players:

@Ace_Previews @Betfair_Aus In good form keep em coming 🎾

2.5u Mertens ML ❌ 2.5u Pegula ML ✅ 2u Musetti ML ✅ 1.5u Swiatek -7.5 ✅ Back tomorrow at @Betfair_Aus to cover the quarter finals on a hot Melbourne day!

@packers @KwikTrip Game notes? We have a sexpest kicker who sucks at his job, a soecial teams coordinator who should be tried for theft, and a head coach who plays scared with a lead. What else do we need notes on?

@SharriMarkson Probably wants an audience in excess of a few thousand viewers.

@MapleDogs82 The first thing KLWT should do once she’s been re-drafted is sack her manager. She’s in a terrible position now having nominated #NorthMelbourne as the club she wants to go to given there’s absolutely no chance that she’ll get there. Uncomfortable situation for all involved now,

@CeBeGeBess Hate socialism but 'buy me a coffee'

Ahmed is a real-life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk. It was an honour to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW.

@thebrisbanebear Still got Dakota at least 😵‍💫

If the #BrisbaneLions agree to Taylor Smith’s request to be traded to Sydney then the premiership winning star forward will become the third league leading goal kicker that Brisbane has lost to an expansion club. #BrisbaneBears #DareToBeatTheBear #AFL #AFLW

@AlexJDonnelly @TRUEBLOODSPODDY Salary cap no longer a concern?

LET'S ACTUALLY GO, LET'S ACTUALLY GO @TRUEBLOODSPODDY

BACK TO BACK 🦘

@MGo_23 Sydney is still on the AFL teet after 45 years.

How does a team that hasn’t lost in 2 years still manage to get the favourable umpiring? #AFLWGF

@thesmallmercies @DryburghTom I am but tbh I don't expect any North value.

@DryburghTom This is like complaining about the high price of caviar when you dont like caviar. It's a cricket club membership. Why would you get if you were a NMFC fan.

MCC membership in 2026: North fans: $900 per game Pies fans: $64 per game

@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus Tom Morris to 7 - too many bulls in the paddock with Cleary + Xander?
