Yep we should match up all right v norf. 3 tall defenders, big bodied mids, 2 rucks finally - speed thru the middle in cockatoo Dangerfield etc and our forward line should dominate them.

North are miles off the flag despite what the main board might have you believe. Haven't impressed me in any of their games so far except vs. the Crows and Suns. Quite possibly one of the worst 6-0 teams ever.

What a dull game....the commentators are trying to save it, but the skill errors, particularly by foot, have relegated this game to the "don't watch again" category.

And this, between #1 and #2 on the ladder? I tell you, its wide open this year.
A terrible, terrible game. So disappointing from a neutral perspective.

One positive from the match - I do feel better about our effort from the first half against the Bombers, especially as we weren't top of the ladder for that match.

Tips North by 18. 16 margin.

Just need to get 9 and I might win the prize this round :)
Tipped them by 25 points.:thumbsdown:

Dogs skills went to water tonight. Could not handle the occasion and if they couldn't handle the pressure then they probably won't get far in September.

It was an ordinary game and neither team played very well, but am a bit surprised at the disdain for North. They are a good team. They are doing all they need to do atm. They will be hard for us to beat.

Tipped Norf but you gotta say the Bulldogs seem way over-hyped by the media. From what I saw tonight, do they even have any key position players? Looks like a team of 22 midfielders with deplorable skills. I don't really rate them at all.
Was going to say something similar. Quality talls are really lacking at the Dogs.

They play boring uninspired footy - they are the Freo of 3 years ago. And annoying because they won't amount to shit.

North would have been flogged if the Bulldogs had an effective forward structure. They were annihilated in contested ball and inside 50 entries. They were just far more efficient with the use that they had.
