Yes please.

Even if we did, it wouldn't get the season even remotely back on track

Unfortunately correct 6 losses already makes it extremely hard to gain back any ground.

Dubai Quacker · May 20, 2023

If anyone tries the “we’re a young side” excuse should we spud this game up:

a. We’re an older side than the Roos.

b. They have 10 players <50 games. We have 6.

Despite the injuries, a loss here would be inexcusable.

We were older against GWS and Fremantle and more games played on Average vs Port.

lazy77 · May 20, 2023

I wish I had donza's positivity, but I can honestly see us losing this one. We have a few promising players, but we're so insubstantial. Even if we win, even if we somehow make the 8, there's nothing there. Warner and Gulden aren't gonna win you the title. We're lamenting the absence of Reid, Rampe, Paddy, good Buddy, good Hickey, but they'll never be back (Rampe will but for how long?). What are we going to replace them with? Our list seems really barren all of a sudden, especially if you don't think Mcdonald is up to much like I don't. It might be a start of a period in the wilderness, which sounds really disappointing. Last year impressed me and I want more of that, but I don't see where it's coming from.

anotherletdown · May 20, 2023

No matter the injury list, lose this and it's time to light a match under any unsigned player and exit a few that are signed up

There's a valid excuse for everything in life. Losing to this rabble is an exception to that rule

caesar88 · May 20, 2023

Not stressed

Just want the team to look like they give a shit

So, "effort"? We really should be beyond effort as our baseline. Effort should be a given. I cringe whenever Horse talks about "good intent" as a kind of excuse. When did we become North Melbourne anyway?

I think that everything rolls on the back of effort. You can be the most talented bloke in the competition but if you're half-arsing it then you won't play very well.

There's been too much of that this year. They probably don't even realise it. I'm sure our boys think they've been giving their all, but they haven't. Not even close.

I will post this video that I made last year (134 views!! woohoooo) If anyone can find me evidence of where we have played with this level of intensity this year even for a five or ten minute period, I'll knight them.

Swansujelly · May 20, 2023

Fourteen..FOURTEEN!!

Grand Uncle Horace · May 20, 2023

Bloods to rejoice in Teasdales career and win by 20.

Swan4Life · May 20, 2023

Two weeks ago I was convinced that things would click into gear. Now I am 50-50 that we can beat Norf. What a horrible season.

They need a confidence boost but don't think they will get it regardless of the result. I won't even bother with the Sportsbet account on this one.

Swans by 7.

MR0808 · May 20, 2023

Weather is cold and wet. Luckily it's under cover.

I'd like to see a win, but more importantly, I want to see all players making an effort not just in offence but in defence too. Helping each other out and making options each time.

Punts · May 20, 2023

Will get up by 27

Warner and paply in the best

Francis best big man

This season I felt the Geelong game was a lowpoint where we seemed completely uncompetitive. From then on, I felt we had to focus on getting the basics right. Win the ball at the contest, be willing to run, tackle, pressure and cover for each other.

I was going to say this is a very bold call, but remembered he's pretty much our only big man outside a first gamer, a geriatric and someone who needs a full time carer

Citrus22 · May 20, 2023

Keep Larkey under control and we'll be fine

The King! · May 20, 2023

who knows , should win

Superstar swan · May 20, 2023

Hard to see how we win this one

MR0808 · May 20, 2023

I'm picturing a 25 all draw

Grand Uncle Horace · May 20, 2023

Even the thought of losing to these perennial whingers makes me ilL.

They slinked into the comp around a century ago and have stunk up the joint ever since. Beyond Boomer, Noel Teasdale, Keith Greig, Les Foote and a handful of others they have produced few admirable figures. Horse and Shwatter aside.

I do not care we are missing a few players. There is no excuse. I am revising my winning margin to 65+.

Punts · May 20, 2023

Larky only worry for me

So only 3-4 goals off free kicks only compared to 7?
