Should take that $4.10 on offer if your so confident ;)
Not confident I have faith, there is a difference. I am normally incredibly optimistic it is what lead me to the disappointment I have been posting all over the shop since Saturday.

I have faith that what happened on the weekend is going to bring about change.

Hawthorn will not have the game all on their terms. It's gonna be a fight. One North is capable of winning.

I was much less confident about that part prior to our loss to Brisbane.
Even though we have stiched you up the last 3 times, North always play pretty well against us.

I am expecting a very close game with the Hawks winning by about 2 goals.

However I have been known to be wrong.

Cyril was the difference first game and it was Cyril and Hodge in the second one last year. We should have won that damn first one, the second one was just a great match to watch.

Except for the part where every time we kicked the ball forward we hit hodge on the tit.

Please don't mention Cyril. :cry:
At the first game last year when he was tearing us to sheds there was this goddamn banshee behind me that kept screaming every time he went anywhere near the ball

"Oh Sizzler" it the highest pitched noise that was like nails down a black board.

Feel for the guy not being able to consistently get on the park.

There can be only one...

I think beating Hawthorn would irritate me even more that we lost to Brisbane and Gold Coast.

I hope we win and a mass of us line the race and berate the players. Melbpurnesq, it would make them think

I think we will win. We seem to be taking it one fortnight at a time so we are due to win.... Although we did have that fortnight where we won twice in a row.... And this could even it up if we lose. ......

I recall they used to beat us a fair bit when we were well on the rise in the 90's and they were shite. It happens.
1 particular time in 1995 when they were 2nd last and we were last ( Even Time Watson picked us to beat them on that show 4 Qtrs) and Hawthorn were really bad, and they smashed us by 99 points

Apologies, I was talking Fitzroy, not North. But they used to beat North when we were on the rise. North hadnt beaten them between 1985 and 1993. Oh and that gane in 1994, Friday night at the MCG, North broke the streak and won by 127 points

Id like to be optimistic, but the Brisbane game sucked out any optimism moving forward.

Hawthorn to win by 38 points
