Since North Melbourne’s on-field season has pretty much gone, along with Boris the chicken and Dean Laidley, the media’s patronising and dismissive coverage of our proud club has petered out to next to nothing. If North weren’t in the hunt for Nathan Buckley as coach, biased match reviews would be t ...

Caroline Wilson’s criticism of James Brayshaw and North Melbourne is based entirely on one invalid premise: that North Melbourne’s business model is unsustainable. Fact: NMFC made a $1m plus profit last year (albeit with $1.2m of Gold Coast money) Fact: Despite playing 11 home games in Melbourne and ...

Apart from the 18-point loss to Brisbane, North lost some public face at Docklands yesterday. In a bid to save money, the third tier was closed off to the public. It turned into a bit of a fiasco after North had the unusual problem of too many fans turning up, with late arrivals finding themselves [ ...

Interesting ploy by Al Clarkson on Thursday, seemingly not too fussed if the Hawks drop this one. Hodge is a massive loss, but ...

I know Caroline Wilson and Eddie Macguire don't like each other very much. But their personal little war is really starting to get silly, topped off by Caro's article today in The Age, where she has claimed that Collingwood is dragging down AFL crowds, wondering "why so many supporters have deserted ...

The PR dream that the Brayshaw-Arocca administration have enjoyed for nearly 18 months is well and truly over. In the last few days the list of negative commentary reads like a who’s-who of the footy media: Iron Mike Sheahan, Caroline Wilson, Footy Classified, Sportal … the list goes on. But the pri ...

The Age continues to push its damning agenda on the Boris video, this time with Caroline Wilson taking the wheel. I have already made my views on the issue clear (here and here). While I see Wilson’s general point, her indignation is typically over the top. And I couldn’t let her write this shit bel ...

Its been dubbed "Chickengate" - the video of a rubber chicken wearing a condom on its head trying to win the heart of your regular frozen chicken. Sound like a novel concept for a short film? Maybe, maybe not. But this chicken video was produced by players at the North Melbourne Kangaroos Football C ...
