If North don’t land him what’s left for the club?

The Dogs, Pies and Carlton being prime examples. Gawn was interviewed after the game Saturday night and said something along the lines off “playing the Bulldogs and every game since has felt like a final”.

Only 2 each way games next week. Dees v Lions Blues v Pies With the exception of the Saints all the other lower placed teams risk moving down the draft order should they win.

Pride, as silly as it sounds. I don’t think they’ll win but their ladder position won’t change regardless of the result. Hopefully Ratten has them fired up to go out with a fight.

Yes, I thought Swans would be further in front in terms of %.

I think we must win for top 4. Cant see Freo or Swans losing.

We played better against the Pies even though we lost. We had 24 more inside fifty’s, had we kicked straight it could/should of been a different result. When we played Geelong Max and LJ were returning from injury. Max was clearly hindered, we were right in it up until about 10 minutes in the last. The couple of late goals flattered them. Yes we need to look at tweaking a couple of things but I don’t think there is a need for mass changes. 3 weeks ago our biggest concern was pressure, our turnovers killed us last night. We need to take the game on more and be prepared to mix things up. Carlton at times last night kicked to space on the fat side rather than down the line and backed their players in to win. With players like Hunt we should play to their strengths.

Agreed but if someone is confident we’re only making up the numbers why put yourself through it? It seems some will with the sole purpose of coming on here and telling us they were right.

Hardly laying the boots in. Some doubts? A couple of posters seem fairly confident we’re making up the numbers. I agree with the rest of your post.

When Viney kicked it straight over ANB’S head I was head in hand.

When Fritsch was having his shot on goal at the end of the 2nd qtr I think, did anyone see who started the scuffle? It was like Carlton were wanting a free for, taking away Fritsch’s shot. Then when Melksham marked with two minutes to go he put his arm up to the Carlton defender to mark his spot then the Carlton player dropped to the ground like he’d been cleaned up by Cripps. Silvagni with 90 seconds left takes two steps, is tackled by Melksham and drops the ball cold. Play on…..Flashbacks to when Elliot scores himself 2 frees last week.

For all of the posters with comments like “We won tonight but aren’t going deep” ”We stole that but can’t win it”. Feel free to not watch next Friday night or for the finals.

Carlton kicked to the fat side on a few occasions and just back their players in to win it.

Minor premiership for Cats = fools gold. Soft draw.

If they land Clarko the wheel will turn 180 from day 1.

You do, but where was this at the start of the season. Too little to late.

North can’t be this stupid.

There is according to my doctor….

North hit the lead, surely pick 1 is worth more to a new coach than showing a big late.

Was thinking as much, not that this justifies the results but was probably the Dogs best game of the season and the Pies of their 11 game streak.

Too much sugar WCW.

I’m tipping an annihilation tonight. Last year wasn’t a fluke, all things considered we’ve been playing some good footy the last 4-5 weeks even though we’ve had the three losses. We know what’s at stake, whilst the 4 points is the priority we will be fully aware of how much % will decide the top 4.

Let’s be honest. Saints are a mess, Lions winning plays into our hands as they’ll be pleased with themselves. The Lions style of play suits our defenders.

Watch the carry on from the Lions after the game. The amount of towel flicking levels in the lions change rooms will be unprecedented.
