North’s midfield is superior, especially with the new additions in the offseason
I am my own club's biggest critic... but this statement is laughable.
Now back to the fixture topic... North missed the finals this year despite having what proved to be the easiest fixture in the competition. 1 game against seven top 8 sides (Richmond home, West Coast home, Collingwood, Hawthorn home, Melbourne, GWS home, Geelong) ... they did play Sydney twice though. 2 games against 4 of the bottom 6 sides (Gold Coast twice, St Kilda twice, Brisbane twice, Western Bulldogs twice) too.
A dream. 12 wins or more in 2019 with the addition of the likes of Aaron Hall and Dom Tyson? Yeah nah.
