My boss pleaded with me to put some money on North and I'm kicking myself I'd didn't back them

I just sense Geelong will come close to North right at the end. Who knows the Cats could snatch but North have played well today and will hang on I think. I tipped Geelong.
Here come Geelong. North would be cut if the lost from here.
Norf get the choccies in the battle of the Scott Bros. 8 goals to Bastinac and Ziebell, in the 17 point win.

I think you are right in that they are still behind the pecking order of quite a few teams. But they would not need too many more upsets like yesterday to put them into calculations for 4th spot. All depends on the level of drop-off that 1-2 of the top 4 'certainties' might possibly have in 2012 - Collingwood already look in some bother with 3 knee recos on the list affecting depth, interrupted preparations for their key defenders (who are both injured again), and early struggles adapting to the new game plan. I would say Hawthorn, WC and Carlton are top 4 certainties, and Geelong should win enough games on talent alone to get up to 15+ wins as well.
Losing after the siren to Essendon in Round 1 will hurt Norf down the stretch I suspect.
