Sydney vs. North Melbourne

Just when I thought it was time to change up the avatar, this happens.

LOL, your avatar reminds me of Patrick Swayze and Whatshername in that movie 'Ghost'

Nahas stiff to get the vest

I think he had a leg injury. Plus he ****ed up big-time on the wing in the 3rd 1/4 : 3 team-mates to give it to, so handpasses to the one opponent in the vicinity.

North were good, Swans were poor. Buddy deal looking hilarious as each game goes by.

 

[Kimbo]

Gets on the end of one, acts like he kicked a miracle.

His celebrations are pretty much for the team, not himself.

 

[MiloStedman]

Fair bit of chat about franklin but the real issue is the swans defensive structures have collapsed.

And North's were pretty fantastic

 

[Kimbo]

Hey I got the edit in there in time.

Macmillan and Tarrant too.

 

[Liam Boy]

So, do you other teams fear us yet? I feel like that's what we should be aiming for.

 

[Kimbo]

In all fairness to Franklin (and it does kill me) but Thompson played the best defensive game Ive ever seen a defender play.

He stopped everyting and set up everything

It's a shame that Buddy will take the news, like Carlton, for stinking it up when the very reason he stunk it up was Thompson who again made him look silly.

 

[TREMBANYAMA]

Played goo defensive footy today. Swarmed the opponent and took our opportunities when we could. Very happy.

SOME North supporters are getting too ahead of themselves in here.

 

[Kim Chambers]

If you could beat Freo in a couple of weeks time and lower their chances to making the GF again, that'd be greeeeaaaaat.

They've beaten Freo before, in some cases by quite a margin.

Not a Ross Lyon side we haven't, aside from at the end of 2009. He feasts on North.

Jesus, settle down.

Other teams don't fear us, but I'd like to imagine that they're going into games respecting us because they sure didn't do that last year and with good reason.

 

[franjon]

Just have to hope for sunny skies for the next 18 games. Otherwise we're pooped.

Surely they're allowed to enjoy a good win? Prior to the match they weren't given a hope according to the "so called" experts. You've just got your nose out of joint because the Cat's showed you up.

If North replicate what they did today, they could beat Fremantle. Not a given, and no disrespect intended, but they'll be a show.

Eh, one step at a time.

You say " Thompson who AGAIN made him look silly" like it has happened before. I must of missed the matchup(s) when this did occur.

Probably talking about the early match between North and Hawks last year where Buddy went goalless (Thompson didn't play in the 2nd match where Buddy kicked 5).

We're playing the type of football that will beat a Lyon side. I'm not saying that we will win but if we play with the intensity and execution we've shown in the past two weeks we're in with a real show against Freo.

First things first though, must beat Collingwood next week.

Don't get me wrong enjoy the win - I enjoyed the win. I have a distaste for the Swans. Needless to say the general consensus has been the Swans have severely underachieved in the opening 4 rounds. The only reason I tipped the swans was because they had a home ground advantage otherwise I had figured it was a 50/50.

Point I am getting at is you can only really gauge yourself against the top 4 - Which in your case will be Fremantle in Round 6?



This thread isn't about us though so I won't get into Geelong. I am going to keep a real eye on you guys when you finally get Swallow back in there. (Round 12ish If I recall correctly).

Rd 5 last year... zero goals too.

Buddy kicked 0.5 in that match. He missed Four deadset sodas among seven shots at goal.Bad kicking is bad football and part of the Franklin package but he was the main contributer to his clean sheet, not Thompson

Apparently Swallow's back into the VFL next week.

Just kidding around, I know.

Pies will be difficult enough.
