Higgins is a gun!!

Ben Jacobs is the best stopper in the AFL currently, absolutely blankets whoever is unlucky enough to get him [Rory Sloane]
Very few teams are playing without players out injured .....our current situation is a rarity .....no excuses except factoring in the two mentioned

Wells is the one, without him they are very 'same same' through the midfield. Jacobs is a good stopper, but the best mids still get by.

Higgins is always injured, but good when not and Waite was held goalless for a few weeks before his injury. North are heavily reliant on their older guys to succeed and it'll cost them.

Funny seeing you boys up and about after beating norfs vfl side. I dont have adelaide finishing in the 8 so i dont think you will be seeing us in finals for a while

Funny seeing you up and about given your one and only premiership was in the dark ages.

You will choke in the finals once again!

Don't know why we're feeding the Footscray troll. The crows had a win over north Melbourne. No Footscrst involvement. And yet that moron posts here. It's as if he's got nothing else going on in his life...

Lining up for tickets to the 97 & 98 grand finals still hurts.
 
Interesting to hear the commentators all night talking about the battle between the two youngsters lever and wood.

Mason wood is older than laird.

To be fair, it's north. Anyone under 30 is considered promising youth.

Watching the replay, Hartigan was really not happy with Mason Woods ducking.
They showed him having a dip at him on the screen at the game. The kid will get seriously hurt doing it

Jacobs taking contested marks and stopping Goldstein taking his own cannot be underestimated either. Round 1, Jacobs had 1 and Goldy 4 (with 3 in the last quarter). This week Jacobs had 3 and Goldy 1.
Goldstein is playing injured ... which goes against Norths 100% fit policy. I think they will finish 7th on top is west coast. Those 2 places seem set.

Goldy being injured is the North supporter theory however club and player have said that this is not the case

Maybe the player just isn't in good form at the moment

We said Tex wasn't injured early on too.

He's been in doubt for some games, it's pretty clear he's injured unless all of a sudden you think the best ruck in the Comp for no reason is out of form.

No club uses injury as an excuse. It's just as embarrassing admitting you don't trust the next man up as it is using it as an excuse for poor form.
