Start to look at match-ups... Viney v Selwood Vince v Dangerfield

Watching the game v Brisbane from the stands I didn't think he was ready. But full credit to the boy and to the coaching staff he has improved every week and is now playing good football. The defensive structure last night was really solid, helped by Port's poor kicking, but whenever port went inside 50 I didn't feel like they were likely to score. 2 more to go.

Odds slashed to 11-1 now.

Massive win, 40 points in Adelaide with not huge input from Viney, Watts, Hogan and Petracca. Great signs.

Geary out for the Saints now. Very important to their side.

Dees into 41-1 now to make the 8.

Harvey's forearm to Mitchell's jaw was probably worth a couple. Handy out

I'm sure that he was basing that on the fact he was convinced we'd lose.

Agreed, but they were offensive last week and we were excellent. I'm hoping that continues ?

3% reduction on North. Another 3% each against the Swans and GWS brings them down to 102.5%. Our % now is 102.58. We just have to keep winning, a good win against the Blues would be handy though.

Hawks slowing to a crawl. Need to lift.

North's percentage down to 108% at quarter time. Go Hawks. Feel sick now...

This week the incentives are to win 3 in a row, beat Port and win at the Adelaide Oval - all Hoodoos. Next week it's about winning 4 in a row and making up for the terrible performance last year against Carlton. Final round is about making Finals.

Sportsbet still 101-1 on the App.

I'd seen it on one sports betting site at 34-1 earlier in the week. That's why I jumped on the 100-1. If the results go our way tomorrow we'll be the only one outside the 8 that can make it.

Kicked 4 goals - looked very good.

Agreed

I'd have him. Reminds me of Steve Johnson. First few years pretty average with only glimpses of magic. Nearly gets traded to Collingwood, fails the medical - wins 3 flags and a Norm Smith.

Normally this is up and running by round 3. ?

Interesting that Dave Misson in his weekly report said that Lumumba will be spending a couple of weeks away from the club. Seems like there is more to this than the quoted concussion issues. He is contracted for next year but surely a retirement must be on the cards.

Did he sign for 2 or 3 years when he came over from the Pies? Either way, I wouldn't mind betting he retires. Seems he has struggled with this concussion. Or there is more to it.

I'd guess Dawes and Lumumba have played their last games for the club.

North play Hawks, Adelaide and GWS. Hawks have to win to finish top 4, for Adelaide and GWS % is critical. North are stumbling and could lose both by 10 goals, drop 5-6% then we only need to pick up 3%.

It was after Rioli pile drived Weid into the turf.
