North are due. We have been a basket case but still have owned them for the best part of the last 10 years but think tonight they might just sneak over the line

Rare that I don't tune into a Thurs or Fri night game, but seriously this is as bad as it gets.
Only interest is on the North game to see if they crash out or actually stand for something.

Round 8 is the last of the Foxtel Super Saturdays so there's no doubt they argued hard* for the day to be stacked with the better fixtures.

Bulldogs v Port, Geelong v Collingwood and Adelaide v Carlton would have been their demands.

As a big 200 Plus podcast fan I'm sad Draper is out for the rest of the season with his Achilles injury but it's actually kind of cool to see Goldstein back playing AFL footy (ironically against his old club obviously), an absolute workhorse ruckman and I admire his longevity.

He is pretty much our ruck coach and was just happy to play VFL all year but when you lose both your ruckmen for the year it means he will end up playing most of the season
