Preview Reminder: North Melbourne have not won a Round 1 match since 2009

[Chadwiko]

I just want to make sure everyone has lowered their expectations accordingly; for whatever reason, in recent history North struggles out of the blocks at the start of each season.

So if we do inevitably lose this weekend, don't come in here screaming bloody murder.

Be disappointed we lost, sure... but if I see one "fire Scott" thread or post, I'm just going to lose it.

You understand that your warning will serve as a incentive to post ridiculous shit should we lose?

Subbed.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

My expectations are just fine in that case.

 

[goalieboy82]

who cares.

 

[Juryduty]

Winning round one is just another hoodoo we must over come this season, winning in Adelaide is another.

Oh wait both in the first round

Who has expectations?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

who cares.

Considering how many people think we are premiership contenders ... we kinda have to care.

 

[Dirty_11]

We'll win

Agreed. I write off round 1 myself so I don't know why I'm trying to argue. Everyone expects this sort of crap from me anyway. : shifty look :

At some stage we will lose this season.

I look forward to seeing all of those MIA these past 6 months.

We know who the true believers are on this board.

No premiership side has ever won the cup and lost their 1st round match.

Lose this game and we might aswell kiss our chances this season goodbye.

Never knew that.

I suppose then there would be merit in microwaving the membership ticket if we get done on Sunday then.

I'm guessing this was a joke, but if not 2013 and 2007.

For context:

We lost round 1 1975
We won round 1 1977
We won round 1 1996
We lost round 1 1999

 

[Gasometer]

We have only 3 first round games over the past 10 years.



I have contacted VISA to cancel my NMFC membership payment.

Gee that 99 first rounder I was at that game V Cats....was that the game when someone skidded on the cricket pitch and did major damage to themselves?

Keka always tells the story of them losing the first four matches in 75

 

[Spitta09]

We won our first 7 games in 2007 and went onto make top 4. This must happen otherwise seeya scott

After 2016. JB and Brad are chummy. JB won't tolerate a premature dismissal.
