Game Day North v Hawks zero wins apiece face off for the Clarko Cup. Souva’s 100th.

[Disco Dew]

Who knows what we get today.

On the spectrum

Already on it…

 

[Only Forwards]

A win might give us some confidence and momentum to win next week against the Crows. And then maybe even the Saints after that.

Honestly a game where we’re not smashed off the park will do that.

A game were actually in in the last quarter would do that.

Not as good as a win but it would be day and light to the last 3 games.

Not getting smashed is nice, but losing today will not go down well even if it’s close. We all need some nourishment (sorry) right now and that will only come from winning

 

[DunderHead]

5 weeks of getting beat up by bigger fitter more experienced teams. We’ve lost our mojo and it’s not likely to just click because the oppo is not as strong.

Hawks have played better footy than us this year. They don’t turn the ball over every 5 seconds.

hoping to see improvement over coming month and hopefully snatch a win but we have to gain touch and confidence.

I get it.

The joy has drained from footy.

We will see today how well we’ve done against the toll of the early rounds.

 

[The Maestro]

Improve our clearance work, increase our pressure around the ball and decrease turnovers = a win today.

Not much to ask :/

 

[Rooniversity]

I have no excuse not to go to this game, so I'm going... feeling apprehensive but have told myself to:

I honestly think we can do this! COME ON NORTH!

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

There’s a reason Hawks are short favorites. Let’s hope we can cause an upset.

 

[Duck the GOAT]

Usually I'm optimistic. But hell, the drop off after the high of the first quarter and half against Freo has got me.

Game feels significant not so much if we win (don't think it changes much about where we are at) but if we get blown away...

Anyway, f* reality. Game day. Game faces.

Let's gooo Roos!!!

 

[ansonholt]

I hope Clarko is talking to the boys about the parallels between West Ciast and this team.

A win against a depleted opponent (Richmond) albeit at home, followed by a shock home win against an overrated opponent (Fremantle) and now they have momentum.

We can do the same.

A win against a depleted opponent (Hawthorn) albeit at home, followed by a shock home win against an overrated opponent (Adelaide) and then WE have momentum.

It is completely doable.

Gonna need a bigger rock bottom thread if things go pearshaped today.

Bloody hell think it was Disco Dew on the money of a course a win matters.

You can't pull the 'long game' get out every single time. If we go to Geelong in Geelong resigned to the loss then we should be going to Hawthorn at Docklands expecting the win. Cuts both ways.

Clarkson said what he needed to say publicly but I'd be shocked if he's not telling them to get the job done this week of all weeks behind the scenes.

 

[Reginald0]

Was at the Freo game
8 goals to 1 and no problemo
That sure changed
Still reckon we should effectively play 7 backmen to stop the run ons but
Yeah hoping for some excitement
Go Roos

 

[Jonnoo]

will be there, overly expensive beer in hand, hoping today is the day for a long overdue win.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Let's bring back Northball today.
Play to win.

For all us who live far away, please think of us when kellie underwood starts talking in commentary

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Will be most interested to see how our senior players perform today - LDU, LMac, Jy, Corr, CZ and Larkey. If they all play well we should be be able to beat a Hawthorn team that is missing 6/7 players through injury.

However if these senior players let us down as a group then the Hawks could play with their VFL team from yesterday and they would still beat us.

I just hope the circle jerk of pity and misery that’s been festering here and on Twitter isnt present in the playing group…

Yeah it’s been a tough start to the season and maybe we should have got our tank on in the last round last year but none of that is relevant now. Some might say “but disco it is relevant because what if..” and I say Shut up bitch! The future is now old man!
The lads need to come out breathing fire today and finally move forward. Experienced heads need to stop shitting the bed and actually lead by example.
Line in the sand today maybe? I don’t ****ing know but this slow burn has been excruciating and needs to end.

 

[Ligma]

if Zurhaar steps up today we win.

In saying that WE WILL WIN

Unfortunately I can’t go to the game bloody VPL has all their games at 3pm on a Sunday.

But we have tried this by having one less at the contest and an extra player back. And we've been killed in those clearances.

I'd rather have equal numbers around the ball and try to win it and the have forwards to kick it to. But this hasn't worked either!

Even if we haven't circled this round for the best opportunity of a win - you can be sure they have.

The cubs eventually need to catch something to learn. Turn up north.

if Zurhaar steps up today we win.

campaigners been a major disappointment this year. Turn up Zoohar and show us why you deserve a nice pay day.

From 2020 onwards when zoohar has kicked 4 goals against hawthorn we have won. 2 or less we have lost.

So once? lol.

My footy tips are sitting on a big fat zero so far, but i still think we win this one, even put $10 on Sellers for 1st goal @ $41

 

[Ligma]

Yes. 100% win rate

Everyone should listen to my stats

I put $10 on WC to win by 40+ and left it in my cart accidentally.
