Will kick it off.
Kangas to win by 22 points
i don't have much confidence in my boys really just hope they didn't show much in the pre season on purpose but i think this should be a close game
Should be a close game. Kangas by 4.
No confidence at all with my boys based on pre-season. Hibberd doubtful and bomber is still trying to decide where Carlisle and Hurley will play. Essendon by 6 points but with no confidence.
One of the games of the round. Will be within 10 points either way but just not sure on who yet
Roos by 18 points
One of the matches of the round for mine.
The two teams I dislike most, hard to make a call.
Bombers by 6.
Bombers by 23. Watson will play amazing, scoring 150 fantasy/supercoach points!
Roos by 25
North Melbourne @NorthKangaroos 20s
In news from the opposition, it looks like Hibberd will line up for Essendon next Friday - http://bitly.com/1iDjIxF #NMFC
Norf has talked the talk all summer, now it's walk the walk... no excuses.
Need Stanton to go bang!
Can't wait for this game, should be a cracker 8)
North by 17
carn the Kangas.
Roos by 20
North by less than a kick!
Bombers by 28
Was always leaning towards north until today haha. Bombers by 13 in a cracking game. Stants to be best on ground :)
I don't understand the hype around the Kangaroos, they're not that good.
I got Essendon at 2.85 just now, amazing value
I think Essendon will win. Maybe.
I actually now want this to be a draw.

Essendon are definitely overs in the odds. Think it will be a close one.
If North can finish off the game (which they struggled to do a lot last year), I think they're 4-5 goals better than the Bombers. Of course, there's every chance they choke and give away the game. I think it's North's game to lose though.

Agree that it's North's game to lose.
Hoping my Bombers show up! They've always been a hard team to predict though, because on their day they're up there with the best, but so often they just look flat, gah, frustrating sometimes
This will be a close game. Looking forward to seeing my boy Ziebell to dominate 8)
Final teams #AFLNorthDons - No changes. Subs: Leigh Adams (@NorthKangaroos) and Zach Merrett (@EssendonFC)

YAY! McDonald not sub!

Nope. I'd rather have the extra cash cow than the 40 odd points I'd gain.
dont call him that 8)
Threw Stanton into my AF for showers and giggles. Watson and Chapman in play too.
"m0nty: McDonald turns the ball over on the HBF straight to Chapman, who immediately sails it over the first gamer's head for the first goal."
Great for DT and AF that he got an early disposal, horrible for SC that he turned it over...

Anyone going to man up Chappie?
2 goals already for Chap. Thought about him for AF but couldn't fit him in.
Quote from: T Dog on March 21, 2014, 08:04:41 PM

Or Watson? 10 possessions already :o
Oh Watson, I love you. 30 points, not even halfway through the q :-*
Chose Cotchin over Watson in both DT and SC. Wish I could've afforded both. Happy with my decision but Watson ON FIYAH early.
North these entries are atrocious
There on the board!!!
Chapman only in 20k teams in AF, could end up being a nice POD this week.
Goldstein bit sore
Goldy hopefully is alright, wrist.
Feel free to get involved LMac
His first (and only so far) touch will be one he wont forget

Jobe 150 in the bag
Hate that feeling when you were seconds from locking in a player, but didn't and he goes down with an injury. You are trying to feel bad for the guy, but can't help being stoked with your decision! Hope Goldys ok for Norths sake.
C'Mon Stants lift your game, cannot complain with Hibberd, on fire
Goldy starting on the bench can`t be a good sign
Back on the field!
Just checked Watson's ownership in AF, only 16%. :o Very surprising given his record vs North.
Staaaaaantonnn... where areeee youuuuu
hoping for an 80+ second half
haha straight after I wrote this he pops up with like 4 possies
Hibberd had a great first qtr but this second qtr both Hibberd and LMac havnt touched it!
LIFT BOYS!
Hepp, Goldy, Scotty T and Lindsay all doing nicely... Boomer could lift a little though.
#RamTracker
McDonald lift FFS.
Goldy lift.
Great mark Daniher!
Watson is all class, should have got him.
Starting to regret taking out Jobe and going with Libba :-[
How can they not tag Jobe? He's always 5m in the clear!
So glad i started Jobe, might convince me to keep him for AF next week :o
Frenetic.
Will Jobe follow The Hoff and Bartel and do nothing in the second half or go nuts?
230-135 disposals at HF. :o

He is rarely tagged. The opposition usually go to Stanton or Goddard. North could at least stand someone next to him but from an SC and supporters perspective I hope they keep doing what they are doing :)

Less happy with the decision now... this is ridiculous. Still wish I'd found a way to get both.
LMac on 16 and Hibberd scored about 7 points. That 2nd qtr was brutal for me

So glad I decided to bank the 111, will look at Laidler now, I reckon most will be using a trade to get McDonald out, so nothing lost by fielding a non scoring backman.
LMac, Rohan, plus Langdon on the mid bench will wreck my round.
exactly scrads macd aint a pod!

Essendon playing a high possession game. Young Gleeson scoring alright and bomber rates him apparently. Thought about it but passed :P Went with the trustworthy McDonald at M10 :-X

If North can finish off the game (which they struggled to do a lot last year), I think they're 4-5 goals better than the Bombers. Of course, there's every chance they choke and give away the game. I think it's North's game to lose though.
North aren't finishing the game and they're generally not playing well, so a loss is expected considering that. However, what I didn't expect was how good the Bombers would play!
Have Chapman and Thompson made that big a difference? Bringing the Geelong dominance?
Yeah thats what I meant. Pretty obvious that they need someone else in the team that can give Goldy a chop out (or ruck by themselves if something like this happens) as Petrie is needed up forwards.
Good on Goldy for soldiering on though he looks absolutely flowered.
What a leg McKenzie! :o
Chappy down to the rooms.
It`s really poor when Norths sub comes on and blows most of the team away in only 1 1/2 quarters

You'll need it after the disappointing loss tomorrow ;)
I tipped the Bombers. When Essendon had their backs against the wall early last season they came out firing, whenever there was some ish storm the players generally came out and smashed it on the field. North had issues last season with their defensive side, slowing down the play and choking games away. They got Nicky Dal but they are without Swallow and not much has changed with the list. Add in their better players being another year older in Petrie, Boomer and Wells, I am not willing to back them in until I see some of those inconsistencies change.
So far the only game I have gotten wrong this round is the GWS/Swans game so it has been a good round for tipping.
