Oppo Camp The non North football discussion thread II

Tex given captaincy.

Does that increase the chances of Danger leaving?

The Random thoughts thread says yes.

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

An AFL captain hasn't had ears as big since James Hird.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Tex would have to be close to one of the dumbest footballers in the league. Keen to see where this goes.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Let's try beating them away first. Round 1 approaches.

Interesting LCynic , for me it was Caddy..... Still pisses me off

I know he ended up staying with his club but surely the biggest one we've chased (and lost) recently is Boak

So Brad Scott and Nick Dal Santo are among those to be awarded life membership.
Umpire Justin Schmitt (bigfootys favourite umpire) is also on the list!

Greg Miller could also be considered 'one of us' too. Congrats to all the guys.

John Fitzgerald is almost a guaranteed kiss of death commentator. It's uncanny.

Yep.

Immediately take what he says and expect the opposite.

I had a dream last night that it will be a Hawthorn vs North Melbourne Grand Final this year.

I dreamt about Ariana Grande and Eugene Bouchard, your dream was nice though.

It was only a half dream though. The scores were tied up at half time.

I dreamt about Catriona Roundtrees

Just remembered what I really dreamt about. I dreamt I became a bus driver.

You had a drunk dream, very jelly.

Careful, we've addressed our late game fadeouts.

For some reason North Melbourne have always been a bogey team for the Hawks. You beat us in our 2008 and 14 Premiership season. Apart from that 100 point win a few years ago, we've had some close contests over the years. I rate North Melbourne's list. I see them as a threat to our chances this year. I certainly wouldn't want to play North Melbourne in the finals.

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

Was at the game at the G in 2013 when the Hawks won by a kick.

Was damn entertaining game, should have won that second game at Ethiad.

Yep. Left the G that day pretty confident about our future.

Hawthorn is one team I hate playing, however we seem to manage quite well against you guys regardless of how we're going at the time.

100 was an out of the box performance, absolutely everything went right for Buddy that day and some of the Hawks players played exceptionally perfect games.

Rule that out and theres been some awesome contests the last 5 yrs.

We actually started well. Controlled general play but were incredibly wasteful when trying to go into attack.

The rest of the game of course, is history.

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

Thirteen. THIRTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN.

Certainly. During Clarkson's coaching career, North Melbourne are one of only a few teams that have beaten us consistently. I don't know what it is, but North Melbourne have got a game-plan that can exploit ours on their day.

2005: North Melboune defeated Hawthorn twice in Round 5 and Round 16
2006: North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in Round 3
2007: North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in the Semi Final
2008: North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in Round 13
2010: North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in Round 5
2014: North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in Round 16

Head to Head since 2005: North Melbourne: 7 wins - Hawthorn 7 wins
