Does anyone else have an inkling that North Melbourne will do well in the 2020 H&A season? Their midfield is good and they are increasingly becoming difficult to beat at Marvel Stadium. They really only lost to Geelong, Brisbane (the H&A top 2) and Essendon twice there.
They were competitive against Brisbane twice and Essendon once, losing those games fairly narrowly. This also goes for the first game against Hawthorn. They also lost narrowly to Sydney.
The way they performed last year with all those close losses and crushing wins tell me that a final berth is on the cards this year. I can see them even making the top 4.
I think there's still a few kinks to iron out with the list and we have had a lot of off field changes so it could be a bit of a transitional year.
Finals or not I just want to see some of the workload being taken off Tarrant and Higgins.
