A question for anyone who's watched North in the last few weeks...

[Mofra]

That can only be a good thing. Can we keep Brown and Petrie contained?

Brown's in form, Petrie has played 1 good game in the past 2 months. He's cooked.

Usually plays ok against us, unfortunately.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

St kilda beat us, North beat St Kilda, we beat North.

[stefoid]

Yeah, Wells needs a minder

From the President down this sneering mob shit me to actual tears.

They're evidently flagging and despite our outs we should - and need to - be able to account for them as perhaps our last genuine tune up for September heat. But Petrie's one of those types - a la Riewoldt - who seems to relish playing us and is just as likely to revel in no natural opponent for him and grab/kick everything in sight.

I'd rather not contemplate how it'll feel if they knock us over again.

Cocky bastards were all over SEN this morning. They are the Gollum's of the AFL world. Such a butter and twisted mob. I'd love to see them keel over and die. Absolutely despise their supporter base, their champions and club culture.

Butter and twisted? Mmmm, delicious.....

I love the optimism we bring against a clash to a side that's perennially underrated by this board, especially given how completely out coached and out played we were last time we played Norf.

Sure, last time we were knocked around by injury compared to them. This time around we're probably more knocked around by injury than we were last time compared to them as they are now so that's hardly likely to make a difference (Waite aside).

We're in for a very very tough game this week. As much as I don't like Brad Scott, he's an excellent coach and has gotten two consecutive prelims out of an ordinary list these past two years, and he out coached our coach last time we played them.

[Remi Moses]

I think Scotts a half decent coach , but north have recruited for now and frankly that doesn't look like happening.
I'll be interested to see what happens next season as they have one very old list which could plummet of the cliff very quickly .

Gotta say though last season they got Richmond who aren't tough enough for finals, and then got a banged up Sydney.
Bit of a false economy last seasons result

[Remi Moses]

Unbelievable listening to their obnoxious fan base on KB's show with Pat Smith.
Hunter feigned injury, with his old man driving him to hospital .
We're a pack of sooks, and they've got an axe to grind with the Bont after his calling out on the Thomas cheapie.
Me thinks bit rich coming from a club who claimed the umpires were cheats and all.

I liked the bit where he cracked the sads with the umpires at the after match Presser. That was funny.

[ratsmac]

I agree. I'd sit Picken on him for the first quarter. Wells fades as the games wears on, so tag him while he's fresh and then put The Bont on him head to head. He cut us up the last time we played them and put them in a good position in a tight game.

It's a local derby as well against North and we are both going to play finals footy so a win against them would be sweet.

While it's always good to beat the cow botherers beating them this weekend would be extra sweet.
