With Nestor and Saad decent outs for North, I'm hopefull we'll get to within 3 goals or less
Not totally discounting an upset, but highly unlikely against a seasoned gun team
Go Tigers

I see this as an easy win now the monkey is off the back.

Anything less and I'll be bumping the Sack Fergy thread

Richmond v North Melbourne at the Swinburne Centre, 5.10pm AEDT

• It's an early first bounce ahead of Richmond's AFL AAMI Community Series match at Marvel Stadium. The Tigers will be flying high after their breakthrough win against Geelong, but North Melbourne looms as a tougher challenge. Four of Courtney Wakefield's seven goals have come in first quarters this year.
• When North Melbourne flexes its midfield muscle, it's a scary prospect indeed. Jasmine Garner, Emma Kearney, Ash Riddell and Jenna Bruton combined seamlessly against Carlton, wearing down the inexperienced engine room and piling on the pain late.
• Tip: This should be a much closer affair than the last time these sides met in 2020 (56 points), but the Roos are still a bridge too far for the developing Tigers. 22 points.

Here are some stats over the course of the 5 rounds so far


Closer than I would have expected.

Clash between Gabby Seymour and a 6' 2" Emma King will be interesting as its going to be hard enough to negate the likes of Kearney/Garner/Bruton and Riddell in the middle without giving them the ball on a platter. King can also be a handfull resting forward.

Also interesting to see that comparing our game averages for the five games in 2021 to the five in 2020 we are:

+42 in disposals
+9 inside 50's
+3 in marks inside 50
+16 in contested possessions.

The only stats we are down in are hitouts (-6), but Gabby has been fantastic in the ruck and she seems to be everywhere and tackles (-14) probably because we aren't chasing as much backside this year.

Looking forward to this game.

Go Tigers!

 

[Yappie dribbles]

Conti out

 

[Lsta062]

Conti out

No way, thumping’s on the cards again today in that case

 

[balmainforever]

Bernardi in

 

[balmainforever]

Thought it was fox and kayo only

 

[k31th]

very good intercept mark D'Arcy

 

[k31th]

D'Arcy again another good intercept

 

[k31th]

I was hoping you campaigners who were saying Conti is out were doing a "prestia late out" sort of thing, but it's legit such a shame she has a hamstring injury

 

[k31th]

good tackle

 

[CASEYS9420]

Dont let'm play this slow kick/mark game

 

[k31th]

Emma King dominating in the air

 

[k31th]

well done Cordner nicely floated across the front of the pack

 

[k31th]

lol @ holding against Molan when she didn't even have the ball in her possession when the umpire called it

 

[k31th]

what was Monahan thinking there... the ball was clearly visible to her as being out of the player's possession and she kept tackling... just dumb

 

[Lsta062]

Monahan needed to be better there I reckon

 

[Lsta062]

Stop being undisciplined girls, we’ll get destroyed if we keep giving North Melbourne free kicks

 

[k31th]

that was poor from Ross... ran hard out wide and couldn't spot her 'man changing direction...

 

[k31th]

not a bad thrust forward...

 

[Lsta062]

Good, we needed that behind funnily enough for some scoreboard pressure

 

[k31th]

that "don't argue" from McKenzie <3
