Analysis By the Bye

[Black2Blue]

By the bye, we might/will/should have the following scenarios:

- NDS and Wellsy returning to/already back in the side
- Mullett, Adams, even Garner and Harps completing their rehab/midseason preseason to be in the side/in the mix
- LMac, Ats, Wood potentially finishing their stints at reform school and putting their hands up
- Daw still bashing the door down
- Brad returning to the coaches box
- Gold Coast, Geelong, Essendon, Brisbane, Carlton, Melbourne, St Kilda coming up
- Building up to Boomer's 400th

Any radical predictions for after the Bye?

A good run against weaker opposition that again makes us think we're better than what we actually are.

You've inspired me, so I'll bite: I predict 7 wins in a row after the bye.

If not, I predict 7 losses in a row?

I'm not buying it.

So, one way or the other, we will develop some consistency. Now that will be radically new for this mob.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I predict we'll be just fine tuning for our back to back premierships, obviously.

 

[Black2Blue]

I'm not buying it.

Can I offer a good deal on a Bye quinella?

Usually the Bye is a time of trepidation for North, a bit like opening round of the season. Our record for the games before and after the bye aint that great in recent years. Would you put a wager on the games against the newbies, the Giants & Suns?

 

[Gasometer]

I say bye to the bye.

 

[Black2Blue]

I say bye to the bye.

Yep. Six games on each weekend, a stuffed up ladder for 3 weeks, and our inevitable bye losses. Bugger the bye.

 

[shintemaster]

8 wins in a row.

 

[Dodecahedron]

Wish I had a clue but I don't.
I guess I'm bye curious.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We'll continue to be bipolar.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

We've had the acid test on us at numerous occasions this season and have failed most. Bullying bad sides and scraping into the finals is tame.

This Saturday is actually the last opportunity to win some brownie points back with a game against a contender. GWS and Geelong will be tough, but they aint 'acid tests' as you say and Freo will probably be playing their little league players in the round 22 match as they get their stars cherry ripe for finals.

Wells and Dal Santo back in, we will win every game post bye.

Not sure if serious...

Ablett will be back just in time to play against us on the gc.

Fair enough but we sometimes fail to put mediocre opponents to the sword. Wells and NDS will take time to settle into their spots because of their injuries. Yes, exciting times ahead but the team needs to be switched on from here on in. It's a big ask but a necessary change that the team needs to take advantage of. Regardless, I still have that sort of weird feeling that Sydney will crumble to us. Buckle up indeed!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

A good run against weaker opposition that again makes us think we're better than what we actually are.

If we beat them, that's how good we are. And after the start of the season, I will well and truly take it, and enjoy it.

 

[Orange Peanut]

I'm more concerned about having an interstate game before the bye. Never good.

 

[Smoocher]

So Wells must be listed as 2 weeks away. Great news.

2 weeks is the worst possible news.
