      Norf let Freo kick 100+ points?
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          Cracking game in a couple of weeks, could be one and two playing for top spot.

            Their tall forward line is certainly causing some problems.

              The have lots of tall players that can mark a ball, not only in the forward line but also around the ground.

                North's average games played today was 155 games, twice ours. They had 11 players with more than 150 games.

                The youngest in games experience this week was Melbourne then Carlton and us.

                  They also let Melb kick over 130.

                  Norf averaging 103 pts against.. We're averaging 54.

                    They are averaging 123 points for though. So it seems to be working for them. Friday week is going to be pretty interesting.

                      It does, but I'm not sure how sustainable 'shoot-out' footy is.

                      Norf & Adel are both averaging 120+ points per game so it will be interesting to see how defensive structure holds up against them.

                        Will be interesting to see how North's formline stands up.

                        Rd 1 - Good win @ home against Adelaide, but only got control in the last couple of minutes. Conceded 97.
                        Rd 2- Beat Brisbane. Conceded 28 scoring shots. Rich and Rockliff injured during the game.
                        Rd 3 - Conceded 131 pts to Melbourne, who had a chance to win in the dying seconds.
                        Rd 4 - Beat Freo, only got control last 10 minutes, conceded 100 points.

                        Don't get me wrong - I'd be happy to be 4-0 and top of the ladder. But they have a run from Round 10 to Round 16 which will really sort out whether they are a serious contender;

                        Richmond home
                        Geelong away (but at Etihad)
                        Hawthorn home
                        Adelaide away
                        Bye
                        West Coast away.

                          They could easily be 10-0 by that stage.

                          I don't mind them as a club but can't stand their supporters. All this start has done is feed their delusion that they have a team that can genuinely win a flag. They'll get sorted out soon enough.
