Drunkn, do you think Maynard has the game now to be able to step into AFL level and contribute? I have no doubt that his age and size will help a great deal but wondering about how his 'game' will hold up in the ones. Cheers

It's a shame because I was using yesterday as the barometer to see if we had the capacity to 'nut up or shut up' when there was so much at stake. I was also going to purchase a membership upgrade to ensure a GF ticket if we'd prevailed yesterday but that display proved that we're still some way off being a premiership threat.

We were drinking it with them.

I hope next time we play them Goodwin doesn't trot out the old "the history is irrelevant to this group, they're forging their own journey," rhetorical spiel. Because, they are now part of that history, the history of our club being North Melbournes b!tches for 17 games straight! Next time, how about owning the bloody disgraceful record and pouring the acid on the playing group, get them to fully acknowledge and comprehend that the opposition and the footballing public expect them to lose because "you're expected to because you're seen as North's b!tches." Try that for a change, Goody. If you need some help with the wording, please get in touch.

Hard after a woeful performance like yesterday's to pick only a few. Out: Hogan, Hannan, JKH, Trengove In: Pedo, Jones, Kennedy, Vince

17 games straight. Fucken over it.

I feel sick.

I reckon that's a specific tactic North have come into this game with. They're trying extra hard to break our tackles and succeeding. If we can up the ante with tackles we should be good for some HTB turnovers.

Need Viney to really set the tone this last quarter and lead from the front.

Nothing more certain than Ben Brown kicking a bag against the Demons.

Goodwin was just interview for those not watching the telecast. his words "we need to harden up around the footy". Let's do it Dee's.

Not for me chook.

Wut? Slowly would be more appropriate.

Pleasant for us to pinch a couple at the death of a qtr for a change.

Time for one more....

Barely half the team are contributing at the moment.

If Lewis Is apparently 'directing' the defensive unit, he's got some work to do. Also, he's doing a good job of covering the hole but it's to no effect because we're getting smashed in one-on-ones.

Garlett to kick 7.

Watts needs a rocket up the arse at qtr time. That was lame.

Waite you [censored]

I don't think that's fair given the closeness of the competition this year. Any team can win on the day under seemingly adverse circumstances. North might only have 4 wins but they've been very competitive. We might have more to play for but North will be out to humiliate the MFC again for another year. The group has matured a lot since our last encounter and I reckon this will be the key in getting us the win.

Got some froffs in the esky, a lump of sous vide lamb shoulder on the go and the missus taking the kids out of the house for the day. A Demon victory is all my Saturday needs and I'm pretty confident it'll happen. Dee's by 27 points.

I tipped Sydney so you can all thank me that Hawthorn won.

I really enjoy watching this kid play. Goes about it with a tonne of spirit and is pretty bloody handy.
