However, prior to last week, North's only two losses were both to Centrals by only 42 and 35 points (the Eagles lost by 82 to Centrals whose wins average around 50 points.) North have clobbered West and Port (the Eagles have lost to both by 4 and 52 points respectively) and overcame an improving Norwood on their home patch. In the Eagles favour, they've dined on South twice (North drew - 22 shots to 17 - in the wet) and did beat Glenelg.
Notably, without those two South games, the Eagles have won 2 out of 6 at under 44%.
I'm tipping North to win this one well.

Gerrard Bennett is still the current leader in that with 91 consecutive matches - from his debut in Round 1 2003 onwards.

With players switching clubs and some close Finals matches in the last two years there should be plenty of feeling at Prospect on Sunday. Both teams put in their worst performance of the season last week and sit precariously mid-table, very much needing a win to keep in touch with the top 3.
Both teams have important players waiting on the all clear from the doctor to take their place in this match. Cicolella, McKenzie, Inkster, Gill and Motlop are all match winners, but will they be risked?
Both teams also have some youngsters who will play a key role. Salter, Hier, Wundke and Gallman all take up key positions down the spine. Which will lift their game matched against quality in Alleway, Gill or Passador?
The team which is more desperate in the midfield should win the match. It is pretty hard to split the skill level of either team. The loser faces the reality they may not be as good as they thought - which makes this match a must win.

For North to lose, that's the only way - an off day. It won't happen twice in a row.

Dunno about that, I still remember it happening 20 times in a row in 2003!![]()
(Yes the win against Port was an off day, we should have won by more)
