If there is one thing you can rely on, its north not winning a single one of those home games, except for maybe Port as the usual Razor Ray Chamberlain match.
The funny thing is that North normally go alright against the good teams but are normally good for a 'shock loss' every half a dozen or so weeks to some mid table trash team.

NUFC, YES.
One of them has an avatar of that spud Vickery king-hitting Dean Cox from behind. They're a weird bunch. Proud of the strangest things.
I saw one of their blokes on the Fox Footy page saying we're one dimensional and are going to be found out.

I mean come on. After that quarter, let alone game?

I just realised that with how bad Kangaroos play against lower placed sides its probably better they don't play too many good sides. Whoever meets Kangaroos in finals as a top 4 team will be very lucky. This is their record since 2000..


2000: 125pt loss to Essendon.
2000: 10pt win vs the 8th placed Hawks.
2000: 50pt loss vs Melbourne.
2002: 38pt loss to Melbourne
2005: 87pt loss to Port.
2007: 106pt loss to Geelong.
2007: 33pt win vs Hawks.
2007: 87pt loss to Port.
2008: 35pt loss to Sydney.
2012: 96pt loss to West Coast.
2014: 12pt win vs Essendon.
2014: 6pt win vs Geelong.
2014: 71pt loss to Sydney.

4 wins, 9 losses at an average losing margin of 77.2 pts.

While watching the single most one dimensional team in the competition every week? Oh, Fox Footy? Never mind, those commenters don't even watch games.

Ha, when I asked the question I thought of that, but wasn't sure if it was him. Living here in hk, and qld before that I hit to the point where I only watch port games. So I don't get too familiar with opposition players. I'd be terrible at dream team stuff cos my team woukd be all port players plus all Australians

Do Kangaroos seriously only have Freo and Geelong twice out of the top 6 teams and then face Hawthorn, Sydney and Port at home..? Wtf. That will make our job even tougher to make top 4.
Yep, AFL website rated it as the softest draw for any of the prelim finalists....yet in that round table show last night Jonathon Brown said that only NOrth have a tougher draw than us.........

Much different to avatars I have seen from Port people with Dave Granger clocking Graham Cornes from behind ? I guess it takes all types mate :)

If I was doing our fixture request to the AFL items 1 through 5 would be A ******* HOME GAME AGAINST NORTH!

I fear for the tingles having to go to the heat in Brisbane in round 13 then only getting a 6 day break before fronting up to Geelong in Adelaide.

It will be a case of #wefryasone
Why do I read this in an Asian accent ??

I've got no time for Rance as a sportsman... Solid player but to me he gets overrated because he plays for Richmond...

Last season I attended the game against Richmond at the Dome sitting in the CS bay. Rance was having a go at our fans late in the last when the game looked won, I don't have a problem with a bit of by-play with the crowd, so this in itself wasn't an issue for me. After the game when the Richmond players went around to their fans to give out the freebies, Rance made a point of running down to our end and having another go... Seemed needless to do it...

I don't mind our developing KPDs along with Jacko and Bobby... I'd rather not spend the money on Rance

With Hardwick in the media in last few days, aiming high, and predicting big things for Richmond this year, I wonder if that will spur them onto lofty heights, or see them fizzle out as usual.

I'll predict the latter I think.

I predict that it will have no impact on their performance.

Wrong thread for this question but I am sure someone will point me in the right direction. My 8yo daughter and I will be going to the Kangaroos game at Etihad, our first time there. I noticed I could purchase general admission tickets but there was no indication of where we would be located. Any suggestions for seating etc at Etihad would be gladly appreciated.

I did try that but they are down on the lower level behind the goal. I prefer higher up around the 50 arc. Also where does the general admission tickets get you into? Thanks.
