2018 Rd 4: Carlton vs North Melbourne in Hobart

[PaulP]

Friday night wasn't the unmitigated disaster that some are painting it as, in fact none of our three losses have been without some positives......................................................

Agree.

[Baggers]

Masochist indeed - 4 quarters last night plus one and a half today was my limit.

How are things in Author's Retreat?

Very good, thank you Squire. I am planning to make the loooong trek to a few NBs games... will let you know, be good to catch-up. All good in your world I hope. Cheers...

Brown will kick ten on Weitering......

Add 8 from Waite on Jones and we may have an issue or two.

We have a big problem coming next weekend, Norp's on-ball division is considerably deeper and stronger than the Collingwood we played Friday night.

The only thing in our favour may be that Norp have a little less leg speed than the Pies, but then again in the wash-up it appears we are in the same boat, a slow boat!

Really?

North's midfield is bloody ordinary imo.

Therefore Graham and / or Kerridge could be in the mix.  Is Graham better or worse than the North No. 7or 8 midfield rotation??

Opinion means squat!

Around stoppages or bounces they've managed to smash the Aints and squared with Melbourne in 2 of the first 3 rounds! They were smashed against GC just like we were for much the same reasons as us! But that doesn't make us equal, our kids are skinnies compared to Norps midfield crew and expect Scott to have the likes of Ziebell worded up to take full advantage of that.

That may well make sense, but they just served up a 30 goal defeat, so I'm not sure where we go after that!

Usually, a result like that is a sign of some very bad sh1te going down behind the scenes, and for us it's happened in round one! :o

Ziebell has form against us.  If he snipes any of our blokes he  must be dealt with.
