Re: AFL Round 11 2016 Discussion

I find the lack of fairness attributed to Norf's strong first half season form a little out of place. Given they've made two prelims in a row and are now topping the league I think their prospects this season should be met with greater merit rather than the derision folk seem ready to pour on them.

Compare it to us in 2008/2009, and while we were more worthy of a prelim spot in those years than Norf were in 2014/2015, they've responded more comprehensively this year than we did in 2010 by a stretch.

Are we ready to admit they're a genuine contender?

Norf's next 4 are against Geel, Haw, Adel (AO) and WC (PS)... We will learn a fair bit about their credentials through this period.

Will we rate them if they win one away and one in Melbourne or will they still have question marks over them?

Wonderful Friday night coming up
Essendon v Hawthorn . Gotta love the AFL's criteria of earning your Friday night fixture.

Remi, why would you be so cynical? It's like you're overly trying to pick faults in a fairly perfect formula.

Brisbane are a clusterf . I wonder if we are going to see more recent first & second round players queueing to leave in about 12 weeks. Hopefully it involves McStay wanting to enjoy footy again with his best mate of 12 years.

And become McLeave...............don't get up, I'll let myself out, thanks.

If he came to us wouldn't he be McCo.. Actually McLeave is pretty funny. We'll leave it at that.

I would be looking for them to be ultra competitive in at least 3 of these games... Results aren't as important as their performance.

Looks like we broke Collingwood last week for the season. This could be the third year in a row where any hopes they entertained were snuffed out by the Bulldogs.
