Norths first final is tomorrow night.
The win over Richmond was a formality and the Swans had no Buddy/Reid/Parker/Jack, Jetta was already on the plane and Shaw/Goodes/McVeigh/Richards are/were cooked.
What's ifs are great but if they faced either Crows/Dogs in week one of the Hawks last week they'd be out. They have stuffed around and overused the ball for the last two weeks. Then after the Swans game they were all getting around each like they'd won a flag. The clubs leaders should of kept it very low key. Considering where they finished last year and their offseason recruiting they have been underwhelming to date.
If Suns/Giants/Dogs were in Norths position you could say they have achieved but not with North.
