The passion.

[RoyalBlue]

Only 13,000 there today, but I reckon there was more passion at the ground today than we've seen for ages.

I know, it's just a preseason game, and our kids, beaten up hard today, will be hard pressed next week to back that up, but there was just something about that performance that had North fans buzzing.

From the first bounce, the midfield looking tight, and fast. It attacked. It moved the ball. It didn't dutifly stand by its man, it forced them to come to us.

It looked classy, it looked formidable. It looked like... Geelong.

There were some pretty passionate cheers for the Bard as he left the field, you get the feeling the fans like what they saw of the team under his direction.

'New era, seems pretty apt right now.

Did anyone else feel it?

 

[numchuks]

Most passion felt since the St Kilda game last year imo.

Mate, I was 12,000 miles away and I felt it.

I also proceeded to feel myself on a number of occasions.

Some will be on ESPN, most should get streamed by means fair or foul.

 

[Angus1]

Felt it right form the start.
Just so much confidence from guys who have hardly played at this level. That's just an awesome feeling.

We took the game up to them rather then reacting to them.
Even if we had lost today I still had an amazing adrenalin rush which I haven't felt in a while. To actually withstand the pressure and soldier on to an emphatic victory was just something else. Haven't been this happy in a while.

 

[Scottroo]

how many times ablett tried to take us on, back under the laidley era we would corale him, not under scott, we went for the hips and drilled the bald headed traitor

Yep, definate buzz out there today that I haven't heard in years.

I rtemember Pagan referring to it as the North Melbourne roar.

The Ablett stuff was interesting.

I watch a lot of Geelong games, I enjoy watching them play. I am struggling to remember him getting tackled. Campbell forcing him to kick OOTF was gold.

 

[Spearmint Didak]

I'm still feeling myself, and I'm using a used mango skin to keep it fresh, coz there's a lot more feeling to be done

I'm off to feel myself off the top of the battlements at EDinburgh Castle the win was so good

 

[mighty mick]

Highlight of the game for me...

 

[numchuks]

I love the smaller crowds cause you know it's only the diehards that are there.

Nummy, did you see the cheer squad was actually so moved by what was going on before them as to applaud at some stage?

 

[Jebus]

Highlight of the game for me...

I think I may have snapped a photo of that. I'll be throwing up heaps of shots tonight.

 

[giantroo]

Ditto, And the whole wing stood up to cheer!! Just awesome.

Good stuff Jebus. Look forward to seeing them!!

Coaching staff were outstanding today.
I'm struggling to remember too many games that they weren't in control of.
Ablett just didn't have his normal impact which is huge in itself. Look at the other guns they have who really didn't fire......That's just a huge victory to our coaching staff and of cause to the guys who pulled it off.

Is this exciting or what????

 

[Krakeour Magic]

Calm down folks. By my reckoning, Ablett spent half the match in the back pocket.

That won't happen every week.

 

[Bowski]

The pocket I was in went mental when Goldy drilled that goal. Made sure he knew it was good when he was walking the boundry right after as well. Also did anyone see Lappin stacking at the start of the first quarter up the steps?

Great game and great crowd.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Great atmosphere at the game.

You could hear the people enthused about watching us TAKE A GAME ON. It gave me chills to see the ball swept through the midfield, players playing ojn straight away.

 

[Maroon Goon]

Well what an inspiring game of football today.
How big is Leigh Adams Heart?(courage).
And Ben Warren was Awesome.
