Rnd 14 - Eagles v North @ M.Thiem Hyundai Ov (Sun 7/7)

[areaman]

North lose most Sundays.
Wed kill the Eagles on a Saturday but as its a Sunday I'm tipping the Eags by 28 points.

Good to hear. That makes finals a problem for ya

I said "most" Sundays.
Finals dont phase us as much as minor round Sunday games, just ask the Eagles and Central last year.
Mind you we probably would have beaten each team by a further 100 points if it was a Saturday final.

Stop being a superstitious old woman. The only reason we don't like Sunday games is we don't want hangovers at work Mondays.

Token pre-match post

Hope to get there - need a 'Little Eric' from lambchops

Still think North are the side to beat - '4 pt Game'

Roosters by 15 pts.

Yep I would be happy with a 15 point win! If anyone else wants a sign come see me in the north grogs under the time clock. show your dislike of this mickey mouse ressies invasion!

[Mic]

Save me one please Lamby!

[Ian]

Will do. Still got heaps, no chance of running out.

That's not superstitious, that's common sense!

[sahboz]

When did you discover sense let alone common kind

Grocke won't play reserves today, has pulled out.

Our last Sunday game went alright.

You reckon?
I'd consider our first home loss of the season to someone we beat comfortably at Elizabeth far from alright but we all have different standards!
Our record on Sundays this year: 1 win 2 losses (Goal diff: - 5 goals)
Our record on Saturdays this year: 5 wins 0 losses (Goal diff: +32 goals)

Could be wrong but other years have felt similar too.

Yeah your probably right. I forgot the centrals game was Sunday. I was talking about the westies game

[on the rails]

Big game for North and it can start a big run to securing the double chance. We still have a number of key players to come back into the side over the next few weeks so that should keep the 21 on the park on their toes given a few spots will be up for grabs. Good position to be in trying to find spots for our Captain Gallman, Vice Captain Ivens, Stewart, Anderson as certs to come back.

Eagles are ordinary, North is a serious contender ... would be wise for North to prove it.

Haven't we already? Beaten both teams above us, dropped a bad one against the Magpies which given their form recently maybe was not as bad as we thought at the time and had a poor one against Centrals. Other than that we have surprised most experts, tipsters etc. who wrote us off pre-season given our losses but gave us no credit for our in's? Plus we have had a number of key players missing through the season with injury including not having our key big man recruit hit the park yet but have shown we have the depth to cover those losses.

[LPH]

Yes you have.

Been saying since Round 4, North are the side to beat.
Add Norwood.

I think everybody else is playing for 3rd.

At least a Norwood v North GF will get a crowd for last legitimate SANFL Grand Final

[RB]

A tough one to pick. I'm not sure how North usually go after a bye. We played fairly well last week but we'll have to tighten up defensively for this one, especially with Johnstone as an in. North's midfielders won't stuff around with the ball like Port's did last week either. Need Powelly to lift the team again and Sumner to continue his sensational form if we're to win. North seem to be much easier to play away from Prospect but my head says the Roosters in a close one. Pity Grocke couldn't get up for this one to kick the winning goal after the siren!

Have shown plenty this year but these are the clutch games you have to win ...
