AFL Rd 7 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[LP]

I'm happy to endorse MBB's point. I've never been the slightest bit superstitious and I won't even need to say "touch wood".

The greater cause for concern is the media dumping on NM from a great height, for instance on Footy Classified last night. If NM can't react to that with at least some sustained effort, then they truly are a mess.

I'm not sure the two sentences are self-consistent.

But NM has been holding up the ladder for a few seasons now and there's a reason for that. If we lose we're in a world of hurt and that prospect should be enough to motivate our players.

You do know that Norp have defeated us 6 out of the last 7 times we've meet, 3 times when they were below us on the ladder!

We've been the archetypal "bunny" for Norp for many years now, I'm hoping Voss can change that, it would be a further confirmation that we are on the right path.

But fans expecting a percentage boosting win might be a tad disrespectful, and the idea we can toss the season on the shizen heap if we lose is extreme to say the least!
