    Me. Im just a bit down about that second half.

    But I'll cheer up, going to my first game in 2 years against the Blue so the excitement will come back soon.

    I do.

    Tassie game. Melbourne are still Melbourne. Ben Brown coming in could just as easily disrupt them a little and give North a bit if a fire up as end with him kicking 10.

    Could be a game where North happen to stumble across a 5 goal lead in the first quarter when they adjust to conditions quicker and then its anyone's game from there.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Hopefully that’s the scenario that plays out.

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    Good to be on top. We'll have to be at our best to finish there at the end of the season. I'm actually thinking Brisbane will finish on top. Hopefully we can claim 2nd. But Port and geelong have fairly easy runs home as well. We'll need to beat Port to stay ahead of them I think. Win all but 1 and we're likely to finish 1st. Drop 2 or 3, especially if it's against Port and Melbourne, then we could sink to 5th.

    Games remaining against Top 8:

    Dogs: 3
    Dees: 4
    Lions: 1 (West Coast at the Gabba)
    Power: 3 (Incl GWS)
    Cats: 2 (Incl GWS)
