Interesting to note that Essendon has adopted North Melbourne's style of football, after having their arse handed to them last week.
Our football is setting a bench mark for the competition. 5 wins on the trot and clearly the best Victorian team in the comp.
Such a talented young side. All of this being achieved without spending 5 years on the bottom like Carlton.
Exciting times.

Lloyd admitted that you guys stole our game plan.
Can't blame him. You're just learning from the best.

Could have sworn we played that type of footy in the first two weeks of the season.
And here was me thinking the cokers were the benchmark

you are clearly the best Vic team, despite sitting below us, the pies and Hawthorn?
Good logic:thumbsu:

Enjoy being the "best team in Victoria" while it lasts, the Kangas will crash and burn soon AND wont be in Victoria for much longer either hope you enjoyed the game last night cos its going to be a permanent thing soon

What's going to happen when your senior core retires. Archer, Grant, Simpson and Harvey ain't getting any younger. You guys still rely on those senior members too much.

Such a shame you play in the AFL and not the VFL hey champ? But don't worry about minor details like West Coast/Adelaide/Port being clearly better than you, best Victorian team sure is something to hang your hat on :)

looks that way, nothing to be embarrassed about he is a quality footballer who is in the most important position on the ground.
Hopefully when he retires it wont burn us for as long as the loss of Dunstall burnt Hawks. only time will tell.
Kangas are going through a very good patch this season but soon enough the lack of depth in their squad will show. I don't think they will play finals.
I like the Kangas too, they're a never say die team and are playing incredibly well. I respect what they have achieved over the past 5 weeks after they were in a fair bit of turmoil. They've also got a lot of young emerging talent (Swallow, Mcintosh etc) but once again depth will be their problem this year I'm afraid.

True that. I wish you all the best Nimcheif, but I would not get too carried away at this point - leave that to the Collingwood supporters.
Oh shit, prepare yourself for 29 pages on why the Magpies are superior to everyone in all shapes and form. :eek: :eek: :eek:
