Re: We couldn't do it could we??

North have been very good the past few weeks, likewise West Coast so it seems the "easy win" is a thing of the past this season, that said if we want our team to be good we want our team to play against and beat good sides, i don't see the point in having some soft games only to be belted the following week due to a lack of mental toughness, our players have to watch how North have been playing to therefor come out knowing they'll be up against it and not just take them for granted, we see how even the comp is now and the massive upset is not such a big suprise, my only concern is that in the past we haven't always been at our best coming off a bye whilst North have been hard and tough, but i say bring it on!

I saw title and thought it was about winning the GF this year.

Now that WOULD have been Nostradamus level!

Thanks mjp for nightmares rest of this week.

Welcome.

North have been pretty good the last two - watching them fight the fight vs Melbourne on the weekend I was NOT excited that we have to play them twice in the run home.

Surely we put them away this week...please tell me not to worry, that "we've got this" and no matter how much North have improved/are improving, that this is NOT gonna be the week...

Of course we could. It's right up in the "likely a strong possibility" position.

We need to drag the carcass of Josh Bruce out before the game to trigger their ptsi.

Honestly if we lose this game it is totally unacceptable and the coaches and players would need to seriously consider why are they bothering.

Don't you dare. Getting into Jeemak territory here

If you want "easy" wins, get the Dogs to join division 2 of the WFNL and play the likes of North Sunshine, Tarneit and Rockbank.

This is the AFL - the highest level of Australian Rules football in the world - every game is tough.

Kinda glad they?ve played some good games last two weeks. Means we need to be set for this and can?t think it?s a ?go through the motions? game which is when we?re most vulnerable. I reckon we?re up for it. I reckon we?ll belt them.

To be fair, we could be excused for thinking it only took 1 good quarter from Collingwood to beat them and Melbourne won despite being rank for 75% of the game

I think we'll be okay, and think it's probably given our coaches a good gauge of how to approach North.

Hopefully we go after their weapons - I would look at sending Scott to Sheezel who's important but still fairly taggable, and think we do a job on LDU around the stoppages. Treloar might be a good candidate for that after the job he did with Daicos in the last term. The other one is English - I hope he really gets on his bike and tests Xerri's running. Think English getting up and down the ground could be a real difference maker.

It'll be interesting to see if Phillips does go to Bont. We seem to like Bont to take his taggers forward, and I think that puts Phillips in a pretty uncomfortable position.

Reckon Larkey can become the fifth player since 2010 to kick 8 goals in a match against us?

(Can anyone name the other four?!)

Jenkins & Carlisle are two. Cannot believe Carlisle didn’t really make it after seeing that game.

Also obviously Josh Kennedy did it like 7000 times
