will north blow their double chance hopes ?

[Jimmy]

We are gone and personally I would rather not make the finals than be subjected to another year of under achieving. Other than South and West we are the next most out of form team running around atm. Let us finish 6th so some of the off field issues that are affecting on field presently can be sorted out once and for all.

I have been a supporter of the coach this year but today I was baffled by not only his final 21 that took the field today but some of his match-ups and moves left a lot to be desired?

Is he one of the off field issues we have to deal with???

Well said, not to mention the Coach giving Josh Coulter (who Im a huge fan of when playing back pocket or back flank) an award tonight despite Chambers kicking 5 goals on him, the only reason Chambers didn't kick more on him was because the ball was flying over Chambers head so much.

actually chambo gave off about 3 'assists' too, could have had 8! makes ANJ look even sillier!!!!

good call, and 3 would be being conservative too.

Agreed fully about only South and West being worse than us at the moment and even then we'd have good contests with them at the moment.

For the sake of the SANFL let's get 5 in form teams in the finals.
Centrals, Sturt, Eagles in the top 3 with Glenelg, Norwood and Port battling for the last two spots.

Like a couple of three weeks ago. Westies, a 7 goal lead, and South by only 5 goals when we should have won by a counrty mile. the signs were on the wall way back then IMO

Bit sad to see North supporters throwing in the towell when still in third position but I must agree that Jarman has much to learn in the art of coaching. His game plan and match ups leave a lot to be desired as does his ability to deal with opposition tactics such as Port playing two extra players back last week. Lets be honest: Darren and Andrew were great players but not what you would consider the smartest of blokes. Andrew was always about Andrew and still is and one wonders whether he does his homework on the opposition.

[Punk Rooster]

No, they won't.

North have lost 2 games- yes, I would've preferred to win them, but I would also rather be playing out best footy in September/October, not July.

I think Sturt will run out of legs towards the end of the year, much like North did in 2004.
Conversley, I expect North to show steady improvement & be playing good footy when it counts.

[BPBRB]

There's off field issues presently that need to be sorted but I think are beyond repair this year to get us back on track. It "appears" that the players are no longer playing for the coach given some of the stuff being talked about at Prospect but that's all I'm saying.

With 6 games to go and on present form North will struggle to beat West let alone even consider winning against any of the others we play (Nwd/Centrals/Eagles/Bays and Sturt). At least 4 are at Prospect so we can slash our wrists at home and not bloody the terraces of other grounds!

[Grahaml]

North will make the finals. 2 wins will be enough, and they will fina a couple of win in there somewhere. Beat West and then try to find at least one more for the finals. Will probably finish within a game of the Eagles so the North Eagles match could be the game to decide 3rd spot.

[eddie-eagle]

North will still finish top three, our early losses will come back to haunt us.

You could well be right Eddie. But it is probably better to lose early games rather than late games.
I hate how it always comes down to when a team plays the Eagles whether it makes the finals or grand final.
There are still a few games left in the year and The Eagles players and fans need to think about Norwood first and foremost.Lets leave North until we have to face them !!
