Before last year we beat them by an average of about 7 goals in the previous 3 encounters.
Don't know if you want the good news or the bad news rosy.rosy23 said:

After last year, I'm not writing off our finals chances.
Actually results are exactly the same as last year so far, just not in the same order
We need to RIGHT a WRONG against Geelong.

Awesome value for your home game membership.
We won't win a home game most likely until after the bye.

North trouble us. It's because they're too big and strong. They just punch our heads in and run away with the ball. We've seen the carnage.
Luckily they're loaded up with geriatrics and added dishonesty in the off-season through Higgins and Waite.
Let's look at who we can put on the park but after five rounds our bottom half dozen are getting too much exposure. We're up against it.
Aside from the ageing of our opponent we have something in our favour. We know them and we know ourselves. If Hardwick can devise a strategy that even gets us close he's done well.
We have nothing to lose. Danger game for them. I have us odds against of winning. But I may have a little bet at the margin. A bet that we win/thrash them. Because IF we win it will be because of an ambush and they're the games that put up the big margins.
How we started favourite against Geelong beats the arse-muscle out of me. This week we'll be big odds at the tri-bet and huge odds at the margins. And we aint playing at Etihad. Might be time to have a bob at the big odds.
As for the bigger question of the eight I'll know in a fortnight. I have locked the North game as a loss from the release of the draw.

The table is sobering DDT. Since Rd 22 2013 we are 14 Wins/15 Losses in all games. We played a much better brand of footy back then and I would have predicted natural improvement given our best players were our young players. Unfortunately our coach has sucked the joy from the game. Let the boys play Dimma.
The real big hole there is the question about Hardwick being able to devise a strategy. That's one of his key failings. That and he continues to reward players who let him down repeatedly.Dyer'ere said:
Im not sure I want us to make finals this year.
Has the potential to paper over the cracks.
A bad season may be the reality check the club needs on a lot of fronts. Lets face it, we are a long way short of the best sides. A long way. A lot needs to happen to get us to that level.
I fear the club has deluded themselves into thinking we are closer than what we really are, when reality is we are miles away.

me too. with a bit of hindsight, 9 wins in a row last year was a bad thing... if we failed to make finals last year, perhaps Dimma's head would be on the chopping block right now. as it stands, I reckon he'll still be around next year, even if we finish bottom 4.
