Why are North Melbourne good? It makes no ******* sense.

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Thomas should get weeks for that. How is that different from punching a bloke in the chops?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Should thomas be reported for that? Thin line. Wrecked a bloke because he was too lazy and soft to tackle correctly.

A small handful of elite players. An average list age between 'In our prime to old as *' means there is lots of experience , zero meaningful injuries , a fullback who plays by a different set of rules , players in career form and umpires pets.


It wouldn't take many injuries to take this team from go to woah.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Would've expected a much higher scoring game than this...

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Not much you can do against that.

 

[Coobk001]

Far out. As a man that put money on the dogs this is killing me. They are s**t house with the ball in hand.

After 14 flaky, inconsistent and undisciplined seasons Jarrad Waite is suddenly the best forward in the competition at 33. Bizarro world.

Watching north makes me think of that scene in that awful sandler movie where the girl says her new bf has a five year plan

 

[CrimsonRaven]

They finally take a mark inside 50!

EAD Stringer

 

[Doctor Feel]

North with three tall forwards all contributing, a mammoth ruckman and a pretty undersized defence.

Meanwhile Port go into the season with a MASSIVE lumbering defence, plodder ruckman and 1 tall forward.

Polar opposites.

 

[Marmozet]

Dogs are still a fair way off from genuinely challenging, and they haven't even played a game away from Etihad yet.

 

[Jonts]

47k here tonight
And I'm about to leave
Long day driving up

Good thing you added the rest or it'd be any Sandler movie you're describing. North should be where Freo. is, falling off a cliff. They're an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, kept together by tape and stories of when Moses came down from the Mountain and instructed Boomer on how to play football.

This is a more highly regarded 5 year plan for the health savy

 

[BornPort]

Never really felt like the dogs were in it despite the reasonably close score line.

Amazing how bad a side can look when they keep turning the ball over.

Without the injuries, i reckon they could still account for north when it counts. North will be challenged by injury, soreness and wear and tear at some stage. Bound to be.

 

[Jonts]

Also as a club that is pushing hard for crowds and good Friday a massive 47k attendance announcement on the big screen got like zero applause

Did lol

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Dogs playing like us going inside 50 tonight, but at least we have Dixon to kick to, they're trying to do it with Stringer.

Except Stringer has spent the night playing from behind. Has a lot of talent and can be a great player but is massively over hyped for what he has shown this year.

 

[Coobk001]

Bulldogs have an unbelievable ability to win the footy. They've looked dominant at ground level all night, but the Kangas have looked classier, more effective defensively and they've used their height advantage at both ends of the ground.

 

[LFC2010]

North fans booing the umps off even when they win!
i'd love to be in that position.

 

[Dylan8]

Don't mind Footscray being knocked down a peg, the hype is cray despite them not even winning a final ala the great Ports side of 2013
