North Melbourne v Carlton, Round 17, 2013

[Bill Manspeaker]

No clue why North fans are so confident

i'm not a North supporter but that'd be because North will win KB ;)

This year has made me 5 years older with the 6 losses under 17 points, North do fairly well against us too, tipping wise id lean toward North but il pin my hopes on us again

yep thats it, was confident against richmond and im the same this week.

To be fair on last week , hansen went down almost instantly he has been very important in the last few weeks and it means we had to activate the sub early. Green was the lions sub and he came on late and killed it with fresh legs.

JZ was battling with his knee and Swallow was getting fixed up late in the game. Sure they should have held on but there were reasons this time.

the real reason they lost was Voss played rocky in the mids, they are almost a top 8 when they do that. It was at the gabba too.

Because they have good form against Carlton and the Blues still suck at Etihad. Also I expect Murphy to miss tonight and Robbo to come in. Murph, Judd and Gibbs have been Carlton's best performers against North in recent years. From memory, Murphy had 1 game where he had 25 odd touches and 4 goals, Gibbs did the same thing another time.

Surely North's more recent past history of fade outs is more relevant than the past history of Carlton clashes?

That's what I'm hoping for and believing.  :-X

As a Richmond supporter, I pretty much dislike both these sides equally, but I figure like most here people will tip Norf and so I'll tip Carlton and hope they can get over the line. :P

Don't ask me why I'm still trying to redeem myself in footy tipping at this stage of the season when I'm clearly too far behind to be in with any genuine chance of winning. ::)

Yeah just watched that game on Foxfooty, it was from 2008. North kicked 9 points and no goals in the last quarter and lost by 10 points, what a fail.

According to supertipping, 55% of people have picked Blues, so you might pick up a tip if North win.

Hmm... To trust the Supertipping masses or not? That is the question.  :-X

Back to 51% North vs 49% Carlton, not sure what made people more sure of North, maybe Thomas coming in and Firrito being dropped finally.

Haha, Lindsay's one of my favourite players.  I'm assuming North fans love him too (apart from when he decides to headbutt people after the siren :P ::)). I went ahead and tipped Carlton... Fingers crossed.  :-X

[roo boys!]

Really not a fan of some of Thomas' actions and he certainly is a diver which I really don't like, but as long as he's kicking goals and laying tackles to go with his diving smothers, I'm more than happy to have him in the team!

Thank flower Firrito got dropped...Greenwood very hard done by though.

[Bill Manspeaker]

Greenwood very hard done by though.

too true. what did he do wrong?? finally gets a game, plays 2 very solid games and gets dropped? huh  ???

edit; he's actually played 4 games.. man that went quick. still don't see what he done wrong

No, I don't love him at all. He's a good player, but I can never respect a player who sells contact as much as he does.
