Oh mate, you think that where the bookies think we will finish means anything? Come on... That is a very weak argument.
This is the place for weak arguments. Not so much for comprehension.

Yes because North Melbourne is full of top quality kids that are the result of good draft picks.
You wouldn't know either way.
Please, enlighten me on the top quality young players North Melbourne have coming through?
Yea but you have to ask where the improvement is going to come from as well. Will they go backwards? Maybe not, but they were also one loss in round 23 away from the wooden spoon so that isn't saying much.
There's not a lot of difference between 9 wins and 6. 3 wins in fact. Percentages very close, too.
All the same arguments being made for/against Hawthorn could be made for/against North or plenty of other teams.
13 players made their North debuts in 2017, and most are just as credentialed as their Hawthorn counterparts.
I don't particularly rate North but they have a young side and have already moved on from relying on older players.
We had 10 wins not 6 we also had a draw as well so it is 4 and a half games. I would say that is a rather large difference between the two if we are being honest here.There's not a lot of difference between 9 wins and 6. 3 wins in fact. Percentages very close, too.

No, the stat is just wrong in the first place.................blah, blah, blah5 losses by under a goal...big injury list......blah, blah, blah
Why, so I can see if some kid agrees with me? You're white noise when it comes to footy.

I mean how is 4 and a half games not a big step over a team with 6 wins? I think you are massively downplaying the gap between the two. Games in the second half of the year aren't meaningful? You are entitled to that opinion but i heavily disagree. You seem to be arguing some really random things for why we will drop. 'The bookies don't rate us' and 'a lot of wins in the second half of the year are meaningless'10 wins then. There still isn't a massive gulf between the two teams. 90% vs 87% is telling.
It's all well and good to win games in the second half of the year, but a lot of the time they aren't meaningful. If you beat 3 teams out of contention for the finals (and lose to another) in the last 6 games is it a sign you are a finals contender if not for a slow start?
If Lukosius is a "nasty surprise" then I hope I get one again next year.
It's really not that hard to follow.
1. The bookies have you framed to finish 12th/13th.
Champion Data agrees.
I think Hawthorn would have more chance than that, same with West Coast and Essendon.
Yeah, well you would know more than Champion Data.
I mean you know Franklin's better than Carey and you never saw Carey play.

No it isn't.Most of the posts ITT are quoting opposition posters to play the man. It's all hater this, obsession that and very little actual discussion about footy. Sad really. Apparently the only thing that matters is which club you go for.
