[Zondor]

What does Donald Trump and ICE deportations have to do with North?

Just you wait and see

 

[kingcarey1]

Just you wait and see

Dillon to deport the Roos to Hobart! Nice!

 

[archereleven]

If we are 1-8 coming into the Tigs game and they destroy us by 10+ goals, are there mass resignations at the club or is it business as usual?

The above is odds on now imo

 

[koshari]

If we are 2 and 7 going into the Richmond game and the Tigers knock us over I reckon the heat will still be on. I can’t see it being a good look losing to a team that moved on a number of their Premiership players, most in their prime, the year previous. :stern look

Where we getting a 2nd win b4 tiggers?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Will it define where we are at as a football club?

Before the Swans game one would think that Carlton and possibly Essendon were gettable over the next few weeks. But now who can with any great confidence think that?

Come Round 10 we meet Richmond.

Worst case scenario come into the Richmond game 1 and 8 and get rolled by the Tigers. Then shit will be hitting the fan.

Conversely best case scenario we are 4 and 6 after 10 rounds and it could be argued we are heading in the right direction.

As I’m a Doom and Gloom kind of guy I think the worst case scenario is on the cards but I don’t want this to be the case.

Where will be at after Round 10? :stern look

Richmond always looked the first winnable game of the season, and not that winnable at the MCG. Frankly, we're one win ahead of where I expected at this point. But the bad games are worse and more common than hoped for.

At a stretch Essendon is potentially bad enough game to be competitive and maybe barely winnable, I guess.
After the bye the WA games, Freo are often play a non-scoring style that might not punish a total absence of a defence and West Coast are almost as dismal as North. Richmond in Hobart is 50-50. And St Kilda are well capable of falling apart and kicking 4.20 for a match.

When i did the Squiggle predictor I either got North on one or two wins for the year, the potential for an upset or two along the way of course was/is there to increase that. Melbourne was one of those upsets, though not a huge one.

If! And clearly that “if” is looking less likely as we approach the Tiger’s Game. :stern look

No chance against*

 

[Frank Thring]

Cant wait for the bye and then we'll show 'em.

 

[Jindrrk]

we will be stuck on 1 win after 10 games and will be lucky to win one more for rest of year.

:Stern Chook

Nah the bye is coming up, chalk us up for another 2 wins, a few competitive games and a couple of floggings to the end of the season.

Seriously, who are we beating?

 

[Frank Thring]

Seriously, who are we beating?

My predictions are general, don't ask for specifics

 

[Zondor]

Another week and another loss. How many of you are surprised? We have won one game from seven and sit second last. We had the heat on us this week from the media. It was a far better effort against the Power which should see the media scrutiny subside for now. Essendon next. Can we win a second game for the season? Hmmm. It’s looking like that Richmond game at the G will be very interesting. :stern look

 

[Gasometer]

We have another 6 weeks of interesting games coming up. Tigers and Eagles amongst it all. Another game v Blues

3-5 was the bare minimum after eight rounds.

We’ve failed to reach that.

The side has too many career failures who can’t execute in high pressure situations.

The bullet has been bitten with Corr and Logue out

There isn’t much option

Play youth and play players in form

That is what the rest of the season involves and then cut those incapables

The seniors that let the side down consistently are still in the side.

Corr and Logue is a start.

The stench of failure starts at the top.

Nearly every trade /late pick has been a miss
Top picks a given to be a good player but the bounce up the ladder is from the trades and late picks.
We’re jinxed

No l am...l tipped us to win..

 

[Zondor]

So we lost again. What a surprise. We have won 1 game out of 8. Very unlikely we beat the Lions. Big game against Richmond at the G in 2 weeks. What happens if we can’t k pick off the Tigers? :stern look

Business as usual no one will be sacked Rawlings McDonald ect ect as mates of the NMFC don’t sack mates of the NMFC they will find scapegoats to take the fall.
Geez I just wish supporters of this club would wake up and realise this.

 

[TheKanga]

We simply HAVE to beat the Tigers
It's our grand final

We are back in our safe place of 17th. Apparently the thought was it's ok to trade our first due to us rising up the ladder in 2025.
We have Brissy next, the Tigers have the Eagles.

The Tigers move onto 12 points next week.
The way I see it now, the winnable games are Rich X 2 and WCE x1.
Not suggesting we win them all . 4 wins is our maximum for the year.

As to what happens then, absolutely nothing. If BF is any sort of guide the masses are happy with the direction of the club.

As the Kurgan said it's better to burn out than fade away. We prefer the latter of course.
