Obviously there is more to it, West Coast forwards are dangerous as well. (Hill kicked 4 back in round 6)
Cox to me is your most important player atm, when Freo beat you he only had 9 possessions.
I wish Mcintosh was fit, he would be really handy alongside Goldy in a final vs. two other rucks.
Kennedy is a huge in for you guys, i don't think he played against us in Round 6 either.
From the R15 clash
In: Thompson, Garlett (if Wright doesn't pull up)
Out: Delaney (assuming he will make way for Grima), Adams (out for the season)
Sam Wright missed last week, but should also return...
Wells & Grima will be returning for North.
I expect to see Wells gliding down the Subi and making a big impact.
If we can somehow limit Cox, Petrie, Hansen & Tarrant take their opportunities.
North should win. If Goldy has another shocker Eagles will win comfortably.
Can't wait for the game...
We beat Carlton with their best 22 by 53pts
We beat Essendon with two of our best players down by 24pts
We made finals and they didn't I'd say North are better than them.
Outside of Watson, Hurley & Fletcher i think Essendon are overrated.
Ok man, would you prefer if we all just said North will be bottom 4 next year?
We made to finals and deserved to, we won when it mattered.
We beat Essendon, St Kilda, Richmond & Carlton, who at the time were in contention for the top 8.
It wasn't to do with having luck with injuries or a soft...
Well I'm still hopeful of a win next sunday, but it would be against the odds.
A finals win in Perth would probably be our best win since the 99 GF.
Everyone needs to play their absolute best if we were to win.
It was just abit of fun calm down
Was our optimism over the pre-season unfounded?
Despite a poor start North have overall had a solid season and made the finals.
Another pre-season in Utah will improve the young players fitness even more.
Sometimes strange things happen, i mean who expected Carlton to miss the finals or Adelaide to be a top 2 side this year.
I think 2013 the season will be wide open for any team to make the finals. Will be even tighter than 2012.
I don't think North making top 4 is out of the question.
North will be aiming for top 4 next year, won't drop out.
I think Adelaide & West Coast might drop out, Collingwood will scrape into the finals.
my extremely early top 8 2013 tip:
1. Hawthorn
2. Geelong
3. North Melbourne
4. Fremantle
5. Sydney
6. Carlton
7. Brisbane
8. Collingwood
