First goal - Don't care but I want the first shot to be a goal not a bunch of points

Roughead did a pretty good job in round 22 last year.

Yes also helped by Redders crashing into Goldstein at once stage giving him a corkie if I remember.

[Ghost Dog]

I'm trying not to get too excited about our chance, because so far we have beaten St Kilda, Freo, Brisbane, Carlton. The Hawks loss by 3 points was heartening but we are yet to beat a top 8 team. If we win this we will be proving the doubters wrong...err does that include me? Never!

[Bulldog Joe]

Not to concerned by the margin, or who kicks the goals.

Really need our defensive system to stand up. If we can restrict North to under 80 I think we win. Anything above that we will struggle to score.

Be nice if Stringer can play like his moments against them last year.

Under Bevo we are 0-9 when the opposition kick 90+

I don't like us being 0-9 for anything.

Under Bevo we are 0-9 when the opposition kick 90+

That is also one of the reasons we have been effective this year. There is only the last quarter against Hawthorn that anyone has scored to any degree.

Imperative that we shut down North.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Under Bevo we are 0-9 when the opposition kick 90+

Certainly reiterates the contrasting styles between our side of 2016 and our side of the 05-09 era.

The media and the football world still talk about us being an attacking beast, although they're slowly coming around to reality, but we are actually a defense first team.

[Daughter of the West]

I don't think this will be close, I think we will either smash or be smashed. So...

Wouldn't most teams have similar result when opposition kicks 90+? I mean if the opposition kicks over 90 puts there is a fair chance you will lose by definition. I bet our record when opposition kicks 150+ is just as bad!!!

Since the start of 2014 Hawthorn are 8-9 when the opposition kicks 90+

Bevo's current record is 18 wins from 28 games. Not bad at all.

OK fair call. I guess it says we need to score more?

[Mantis]

Or just keep the opposition under 90 pts.. We are 18-1 under Bevo when we do.

Over 64%. I like.
