    I always like to see Norf lose if only for the facial expressions of their coach. Plus can't stand their supporters.

      Dang, I was telling everyone at work this all week but I am leading two comps and didn't have the balls to back myself in (knowing that everyone would have went the Cats). The same happened with the West Coast game last week.

        But with a North v Cats game how can you lose?

          I don't really hate Geelong like I do other clubs. I should like North as they have been strugglers like us, but it must be their supporters and administration - just hate them all.

          I think the hatred stems from the 1970's when they were gifted premierships after the AFL changed various rules and they became a powerful onfield club. I remember going to a game at Arden street in the 70's and we got done, as we were walking out some North supporters were having a go at us and I turned around and here is my mate (who had too many to drink), was laying into the North bloke doing all the stirring

              Would be nice if the top four sides all lose.

                I don't like their supporters either.
                I had a vivid encounter at a pub in Canberra after we beat them in 04.
                Was on a high after a great win, and said to " I don't know how you can follow the Dogs".!
                Just ignored him and enjoyed a great night.
                A mate of mine always says you need more than 5 supporters to have a chorus

                  Fremantle's pressure was just incredible and Ross Lyon's great record at Etihad is intact.
                  Don't want to look at that 09 draft when we picked Howard ahead of Fyfe.

                    Some hit and miss there. Obviously Howie impressed someone as a junior. KPP's went well into the 2nd round. And we got Kobes too.

                        I don't think so. Who else will GWS beat?

                          Yep, that's it for the year for GWS.

                              I really haven't seen enough of Howard. I find it hard to figure out what his problem is. Saw his video online around draft period. Looked half decent at the time.

                                Maybe just one of those players that shines as a junior but can't cut it against the men.
