My friend has just opened proceedings in the Shinboners friend chat with "Game on moles" and she has really got me fired up! I am nervous but so excited for our now-annual GF trip to Princes Park. I hope our amazing women can get it done. Their perfect season deserves a perfect end #aflw

Shinboners, I have an important update on this anecdote: my partner has informed me that I was so busy marvelling over Chom's bone structure up close that I missed the fact that one of these boys was holding a phone and the group was facetiming Luke McDonald. On their way out of Oasis 😆 That's cute
Another Oasis highlight for me was spotting Nick Larkey, Chom, Riley Hardeman and Josh Goater. They were a few groups in front of me going up the stairs on the slow trip out of the front gen admission area at the end of the gig. They looked like lovely young men who'd enjoyed a nice time ☺️

Shinboners, as we get closer to men's delisting season, are there any particular players you're worried about? I am fretting about my man Eddie Ford. Is there any hope for him? North fans on Reddit reckon no. I will be distraught if it happens

Any other Shinboners feeling nervous because a bunch of pundits suddenly realised we are alright and have tipped us? I am at home watching on TV while we pack up our house as we're moving soon, and I am anxious

Yes, yes and yes! #Shinboners win! A non-event encounter that ended up a minor knickergripper. Join in the chorus!

Yes, I am only willing to consider the existence of the “footy gods” and only when their intervention may benefit the shinboners.

Great to watch Restoration Australia this arvo, about a house in North Melbourne, opposite the legendary Arden Street Oval, home of the Shinboners.

Nana Corrigan (great great grandmother) and Grandma Davis attended that ground every home game, rain, hail or shine, for god knows how many years.

Déjà vu for North Melbourne fans as the Shinboners go down 88 vs 97, just as they did in 1927.

I've never regretted falling for #NMFC 25 years ago. I can't say I'm cock-a-hoop at getting up before 6am on a bank holiday to watch a first-half whumping by my Aussie ex-girlfriend's team though but.

And yet... the #Shinboners are still in this at HT? Somehow?

“We know the journey we're on hasn't been easy, which can be hard on the weekend, but I think we do such a great job of staying united."
Harry Sheezel.

With you Harry. Shinboners come out to play this Good Friday.

No unbroken runs of goals against this weekend. Ok team?

I made a lot of bold North Melbourne-related predictions in the off-season including that by the time Shinboners were quaffing in the Barossa for Gather Round, North would not have more losses than wins. So I'm really relying on the boys this weekend to protect my credibility in the group chat

I took my kid to a birthday party this afternoon, & one of the dads was wearing a North polo. We had a great old chat about this evening's game & our hopes and dreams for the season. I have no idea of his name, but I know his favourite player (George Wardlaw). I love meeting Shinboners in the wild.

North Melbourne also working class (nicknamed the Shinboners after local abattoirs).

And let's not forget my team, Fitzroy.

For something different I intend to post on my hopes and fears, dreams and dreads on the AFL season ahead. Can the Shinboners be respectable in 25? Probably but with no confidence.

Merry Christmas everyone! A special Merry Christmas to all the Shinboners, the real Fitzroy supporters (still alive and kicking in the VAFA), the Corbynistas (reclaimed from derogatory), the neurodivergents, and the people of the mighty state of Victoria. My favourite people and legends all.

I hope #Shinboners waking up feeling delicate this morning earned their hangovers with a suitable celebration last night.

I think this was my favourite moment of the win.
