All these threads come back to football being a week to week proposition. Really, in a season that kicked off with GWS beating Sydney, we shouldn't need reminding that anyone can beat anyone if they play well enough, or lose to anyone if they don't.

But - and I don't think it reflects on North in any way whatsoever - this scoreline is unbelievable.

In round 5 2007 we kick started Geelongs dynasty
In the 2007 Semi Final we kick started Hawthorns dynasty
In round 3 2014 we gave Port Adelaide a reality check.
In round 4 2014 we rejuvenated South Melbourne.
So when are our losses going to start our dynasty?
Never in our lifetime again like Footscray St.Kilda and Melbourne?

Did Geelong play their grand final last week? Throwing Bartel and Kelly into the centre square isn't a glowing endorsement for their younger generation.

Every second week. Our dynasties are very short. Watch us crack in and knock off West Coast at Subi this week. Then we'll lose to Richmond by 6 goals. But at least a new dynasty will start in Adelaide the week after that.

It kind of annoys me how people are devaluing our wins against quality opposition this year. And by people, I mean our supporters. Yeah, Sydney looked amazing tonight, but we looked amazing when we beat them. And whose to say we can't do it again? Same with Port. We are a good side when we're on. But it seems people are buying the media hype and getting sucked in saying we got Sydney when they were weak or whatever. Well you could easily say Sydney got Geelong and Hawthorn when they were weak. They sure looked like it. Funny how the losing team always seems to look 'weak' while the winning one looks 100 bucks. Wonder what the connection is... :drunk:

You'd hope not, otherwise why would people be disappointed with our losses.

As much as we are pissed about the performances the team has shown they have the ability to click in to gear by the end of the season... But just give us the footy you're capabale of now! :)

LOL at people getting upset at these threads. I'm sure I wasn't the only one watching the game last night who thought about starting such a thread. The dilemma was whether to go with "All of a sudden our loss to Geelong ..." or "All of a sudden our win against Sydney ..."

I posted this after our win over Port:

It works like this:

Rated team beats rated team: Instantly becomes a premiership contender.

Rated team beats unrated team:
Good win, as expected.

Unrated team beats rated team: Caught the rated team on a bad day,

Unrated team beats unrated team: The win doesn't prove much.

I think these threads are hilarious. Made even funnier by those having meltdowns in them. Don't like the thread don't read it...seems easy enough.

"Toes toes toes please help. Ban/merge/block/delete everything"
Maybe the North board should just consist of one thread, it would be titled "North Melbourne......discuss"
