Round 5 Non-MFC Games

Wish we had a b.brown.

Hogan is great but often advancing up the ground.

Hurry up Tmac.

[P-man 13,276]

Throw up all the excuses in the world but North are making a mockery of our inability to score last week.

[Cards13 9,117]

Wowwee!! Ferocious game North v Hawks. Gees I hope North keep the foot down and end up smashing them.

i tipped north, but didn't think they'd be anything like this dominant

[Winners at last 4,814]

Hey is that Frawley playing on Brown? If so, perhaps a brief respite from Watts talk??

hahaha

Do you honestly think Hawthorn are playing as well this week as they did last week?  Like us, they haven’t come to play.

Hawthorn is not great. They are well coached, but they made a point of making a mockery of us last week. Clarkson toyed with us, and our players gave up.

Quite enjoying North playing well against the Hawks. North playing with intensity and aggression. Ben Brown is a ripper.

Frawley also not having a great day which is enjoyable to watch.

True, but you can’t draw a form line from today to last week.  Nth smashing Hawthorn does not make last week any worse, or two weeks ago against Nth any better.

We were fine until it got a bit wet last week, under Goodwin we haven’t played wet or windy conditions well at all as we do t adjust for the conditions 

[Dee Zephyr 17,900]

Wow wee. 13 marks inside 50 to 1 Norths way.

Someone should bump the “ Get Ben Brown” thread. He’s seriously good.

[Willmoy1947 3,810]

There's a lot of serious betting going on...............

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,370]

North will play finals this year. Maybe even top 4. They remind me of their 2007 season. Nobody rated them, every side paid them no respect and they ended up winning 15 games.

I hope our Rd 3 North win doesn’t end up being our highlight of the year.

Only just looking at the Sqawkers score

Have to be a Steward's enquiry surely

So how did we beat them? The mind boggles.......

North are our "Bunnies". It's just my best guess..

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,187]

We’re starting to sound like the football media on here.

A team plays well: ‘They’re amazing; will play finals.’

A team plays poorly: ‘They’re terrible; won’t play finals.’

If you were a Melbourne AFL Player, set to play Tuesday, watching all these upsets this weekend so far, what would you be thinking?

I've been meaning to say '39 it took me 20 years to get over Barassi leaving, but another thought to me is it just seems like we have a game plan that is too fast for the players?@#$!

[Cards13 9,117]

Listening to BT saying the Higgins knock out was accidental is ridiculous. Burton made the choice to bump and it looks like Higgins is still unconscious. 

[Cards13 9,117]

Hawks going to run over the top of them now, this has been a seesaw of a game.

I too would like to see the Roos finish off toweling up the Hawks but the WatchAFL app (the one for international viewers) has decided that the Lions vs Suns game is that gripping, they will make you watch it even if you want to watch North vs Hawthorn.

Sterling stuff.
