Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - North v Carlton Good Friday Appeal Game March 29th 4:20pm AEDT (Marvel)

Let's make a rule: No Umpiring complaints while the game is in play. Get it all out at the breaks ONLY.

 

[Disco Dew]

Got a good feeling about this one.

Blues by 30.

North to cause the upset...

So, instead of Blues winning by 30 or 40, North upset the margin tipping and lose by 100?

They played pretty well last week and the Blues have won a couple of games by the skin of their teeth. If North are ever going to cause an upset this game might be it? If they do, it will be 9 or 10 points.

Anything could happen.

If North are within two goals at 3 qtr time thats a win.

If North are within two goals at 3 qtr time thats a win.

I initially read it as "if north are two goals at 3 qtr time that's a win".

Where’s Benny McKay when you need him ?

Midfield battle should be an interesting one and probably our only avenue to limit the damage.

If you combine the ratings of North's starting 4, it's only slightly behind Sydney and Freo's after the 2 rounds and 3rd in the league.

Carlton's is in the bottom half with sub par starts from all of Hewett, Cerra and TDK (apart from his last quarter against Richmond).

North's starting 4 (Xerri, Powell, LDU, Wardlaw) is averaging 27 clearances per game vs the Carlton's 15.5 (Cripps, Hewett, Cerra, TDK) and the Carlton midfield certainly isnt the Freo or GWS lineup at the moment.

Good post, I'd back North's mids to at least break even against anyone atm, there's real fire in there

Unfortunately though not so flush down back, Blues will pile them on at some point and that will be enough

Carlton should win, though I would love for North to come out and give them a scare.
Midfield battle should be a good one but I think Carltons big forwards will be too much for North's defenses.

definitely a danger game. north have been competitive in every game

 

[Engimal v3]

Could see North pumping them by 100+ points. Go the Roos.

All the best to E Hollands today, he will probably be needing something to settle his nerves with all the excitement

Great to see Weitering back - he’s our backline pillar, Marshall’s the troops & frees up Marchbank & Gov.

Good luck to Elijah Hollands!

Blues by 33.

[BallaratBulldog]

Good luck with that new rule for this thread

Would be very handy today... his brother has never kicked a goal against him

He can't kick a goal against himself!
