Geez, I hate us always dishing up our annual shocker against North who treat the game as their GF each year (before they lose the following week) . It also usually coincides now with Waite's annual one good game for the season  .

I'm surprised we're favourites with the bookies based on North owning us in recent times  . Just 2 wins from the past 10 meetings and that includes the Round 23 game where they rested half their best 22.  Us last 'real' win over them was way back in 2011 when a teenage Dusty had his first breakout game with 33 possies and kicked 4 goals as we came from behind to overrun North in the last quarter.

The other thing that ticks me off is it's always their 'home' game every year now days . Aside from the EF, the last time we played North in a H/A game at the 'G was 5 years ago when we lost by just 4 points with an ump pulling out a shocking deliberately rushed behind call against us (against Luke McGuane IIRC). Some things never change!

I don't care how we do it or by how much - just win!

I should just save a copy of what I post every time we play this mob, they own us we are their biatches.
Time to end this crap!

Taking out the shoulda , woulda , coulda 3 games lost by under a goal  -  7-4 is a decent reward for what has been an exciting season so far  by the Tigers .

Hopefully Dimmas template will be too good for a Kangaroo side who have also muffed a few opportunities this season.

Heard Mcdonald being interviewed on sen the other day and his voice perked up when they mentioned why they seem to have the wood on us. He said something along the lines of "yeah we do, no doubt they have some fantastic players but for whatever reason we feel we have their measure and can beat them"

Tell us what you really think pal 

These guys just dont rate us, stuff I want us to rub their smug faces in it on saturday. Also heard Ralphy say I know for a fact that Brad Scott has never rated richmonds style of play.

^^This.

If I was a gambling man I'd love the Rich North Line up. Easiest bet of the year, and this time you get to double your money, North at 2.15 is money for jam.

At least there is no Harvey or Petrie. Those two always seemed to lift against us.

Go the 2.40 option for under 6 goals and drop a fat pineapple on it

North are one of those teams like Geelong who play numbers behind the ball an extra's in defence where we simply cannot score enough goals to win the game.
This is where we need to change our game plan up slightly as we are so predictable that these teams can plan down to the last inch on how to play us.
Blake Caracella even said this directly at a coahing session I went to when he was at GFC and showed vision on how we play and how we never adapted.
Watch Hansen and Thomson take mark after mark playing loose in defence if we don't run the ball in and kick running goals.
