Preview Rd 3 NM v Crows - Sunday 3.20PM AEST

[Shermanator]

Fans hungover today
North players hungover today

He says in the video they had a few drinks. I dont like it. Getting ahead of themselves. Hard works done, crack a beer? Pfff

You should know better than anyone that the Duck partied harder than anyone after a victory ol’ boy.

As long as they train their ass off the following week and produce on the weekend they can swim in a silo full of home brew after a win for all I care..

Mate, it's only taken 27 years of counselling, I'm not sure I'm prepared for another North vs Crows final just yet.


Most of your scores have been launched from the back half the last 2 weeks. Follows the eye test with your ball use being great.

Ours come from clearance, particularly the center clearances.

The crazy thing to read (given how wasteful we were in Rnd 1) was that Adelaide are #1 in the AFL after the first two rounds for kicking efficiency and we are #2. Which was wild, as we definatley could have been alot better.

Check out the AFLW. We've knocked them out of the finals in margins <10 for 2 years running.

We will take it up to the Crows, big time.

We may not win, but we will put in 4 quarters of grunt and effort

 

[Horizons_00]

Where did you get that from? They're not exactly a Premiership team. They'll probably beat us, but I think you're overstating them a bit.

I disagree. They are going to be unstoppable this year imo.

Confidence will be high and they now know what they can do. This will see how well they are progressing..

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Just simply must convert early.

Take the crowd out of the game.

We kick 3.8 again and we’re cooked.

 

[Dinkers]

Right so I dropped 50 on the Dogs and 50 on the Dees ( under 39 points)

Now I'm going all in we're $6.05 oh boy ching ****en ching !!

"27 years ago" never happened. The seasons went 96, 97, 99...

Pretty simple griff in for pink

Corr, Logue and chom vs thilthorpe, Tex and forgarty

No way back for Griff with Pink in cracking form. A long stint in the VFL beckons....

Pink did well and is versatile.

Unpopular opinion but I don’t think we can have Arch and Lmac in the same team. Given Lmacs start to the year I’d have him continue beyond Arch’s ban and then Arch to become Lmac (but better) when able.

If we only choose one, we pick Arch every day of the week without thinking about it.

Sorry, but a troll of a call right there.

We are the highest scoring shot side from our i50 with the crows sitting second. They take more marks i50 and most of their goals come from on the lead.

Dare I say it, they haven’t played a side with our contested ball winning capacity at centre bounce, plus with out level of pressure.

On the flip side they will smoke us on turnover if our midfielders are as loose defensively as they were yesterday. If we get within 6 goals it’s a positive

I really liked how LDU played almost as a defensive mid patrolling from centre to HB, applying pressure and then launching to HF, it really took Melbourne by surprise and meant that our forwards could get good one on ones.

Having TP and Xerri dominate the clearances meant LDU could be played on different roles.

Yep he played almost a traditional centremans role, didn’t go unnoticed how deep into defence he and jy went almost over compensating to peel off and cover for our most offensive mids

You r

You rested Rankine so he is up for our game? Right

Rankine is fine. The game was won near 3 quarter time so he was taken off to preserve him. He'll play.

Best rest him. You can never be too sure.

Ha ha. Not this week. You guys were very impressive against Melbourne who I thought played very well against GWS.
I think Crow's will win but it won't be a walk in the park. You guys are on the up for sure.
Feel free to smash the Power though next time you play them. I'll certainly be cheering for you then.

Would they be meeting inside the venue, or do they wait outside?








Asking for a friend.

Weird that 3 of our next 5 games are in Adelaide.

Weird that 3 of our next 5 games are in Adelaide.

And we never win here

Big challenges

 

[giantroo]

250th for Laird as well.

 

[justroyal]

Melbourne had one of the most intimidating midfields and we worked for two quarters to handle it. Not too concerned about Adelaide’s. It’s their forward line im nervous about our defenders being not being able to handle.

The bigger bodies in thilthorpe, walker and Fogarty I’m not too sure about and then with Rachele running around.

If Corr, McDonald and Pink can hold up. Great but we need comben intercepting.
If Logue was fresh perhaps he’d be a good match up on Thilthorpe

Pink was good

 

[Lomas]

Pink was good

Had one shocking kick, but really pressured and tackled well. I’d reward him with another game.
