Review Gather Round vs North Melbourne @ Barossa Park - Sat. 12 April @ 12:35pm

[Big Red Machine]

Gather Round children it's high time ye learned - bout a hero named Dimma and a devil named Clarko*

*yeah yeah it doesn't fit the scheme of the original but if you've got a better rhyme i'd like to hear it

Unlocks after vs Adelaide

Soz boys (and Jen)

So excited about the win I forgot to unlock the thread. Go nuts

I may never see us lose again

SUNS baby has seen more wins in 3 weeks than I did in the first 3 years.

Little shit

VFL stats v Bullants
Lachie Gulbin - 23 disposals, 4 goals, 4 score involvements, 4 tackles, 4 marks, 3 intercepts.

Hard for Dimma to ignore that form. I reckon there's a fair chance Gulbin will make his AFL debut in this game and probably as the sub. Not sure who he could replace because there were no injuries today and I want to keep Rogers in the team. Anyway, it's awesome to see another academy graduate pushing for selection.

Ahh our nemesis. North away in a game no one will watch.

Wait until he goes to a Carlton game

Poor kid may scar him for life lol

Gotta sit through this Norf game. Hopefully we don't drop to our normal poor level we have against them

 

[sunsofanarchy]

In years gone by I'd be worried about playing a team coming off a bad loss but we should be professional enough that it doesn't matter. Would like to see someone (touk) run with sheezel. Collins will be looking forward to running it back with Larkey and our midfield group comes up against another deep midfield.

Early weather check, 31 degrees for Lyndoch next weekend. Hot one for gather round, hopefully can use that to our advantage

Our biggest nemesis is the state of South Australia.

Haven't won their since the first ever win.

Ahhh! c'mon North just had a stand alone Saturday night game in Melbourne.......so obviously the AFL think people must want to watch them

We should be putting sides like north to the sword.. but I’d be happy to take a scrappy win and leave.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

North's team against Sydney didn't look great on paper a weird mix of

A handful of gun young players, a bunch of meh mid career players, a couple of retirees and a couple of youngsters without a particularly high reputation.

We've got decent match ups for Larkey (Collins), Curtis (Powell), Zurhaar (Uwland)
Xerri will be a tough ruckman to combat.
But our midfielders should have too much power for theirs.
Our bottom 6 players look much better than their bottom 6 IMO.

Win by 31 points.

I would hope players pencilled this game in the calendar similar to Eagles game. That was a horror game last year. North celebrating like they won premiership, Ainsworth missing gettable set shot at the end.

Crows game was a great preparation. Hopefully, we don't see any impact of that game physically.

Payback time, I hope.

[Ben Drever]

Simpkin should be a out.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

$15 for the flag, tied 5th best.

New PB

 

[GC2015]

Simpkin should be a out.

Looked bad. You'd imagine his ankle is pretty sore, but it'll come down to whether there's any structural damage. Simpkin being out would certainly help our cause.

 

[SandyToes]

North has a terrible defence.
I watched them last night and at times it was really hard not to wince as they went backwards with handballs and chip kicks until they finally turned over possession
Having said that they will probably win because we have traditionally been the "day out" team for opposition struggling to get a win

I took my youngest son to that game against the Roos at Marvel last year, hoping to share the experience of a win in Melbourne, it was ****ing disgraceful the tripe our club displayed. Thankfully we look a very different team now

I was there with my boys and my 90yo mum and my brothers-all North supporters.It was a truly awful day in that cold pit of misery they call Marvel.The Victorian side of the family was well pleased

 

[Ralph_Wiggum]

For some reason, we never seem to fully get up for the game against these. Hopefully, this year is different. Defensively, they are horrific. We just need to come out firing on all cylinders and not get lax defensively ourselves(As we did at times against the Crows).

Should be a good one. We are the better side and I feel confident we can win and go to 4-0.
