North Melbourne thread

[perthstormer]

Well have notice there is a few of us kangas out there so I thought stuff it we can have our own thread.  Looking forward to this week so much I always do every year.  I hope the boys can come away with the points Eagles have a long injury list and moral is a bit down at the moment.  One of my girls came hjome the other day she is in P.S saying " all the kids are going for Dockers now cause eagles lost to geelong and Haw"  Kids gotta love em.  Unfortunatly all my three are eagles kids and every year I cop a bit but hey just love the week leading into it stiring them up.

I come from a family of Swans supporters, I must be the black sheep of the family. 

I do feel sorry for my Richmond supporting sister-in-law though.

Can someone remind the team that games go FOR FOUR QUARTERS!!!!!

I didn't expect them to win this week but I'm sick of them completely turning off in the last quarter ... I don't think they have won a final term all season.

[perthstormer]

yeah they just ran out of steam.  Im quite proud of the way they played had they kicked those couple of chances in the last It would of been game on.  At long last im starting to think we have a future again the kids are really comming on.  Mcintosh, smith Gibson is playing really well.  Id love to say finals this year and after winning the six it shouldnt be a problem but it is all about where we go from here.  We are missing thompson so much.

[perthstormer]

how do you think we will go today

[perthstormer]

we are up 21 points 10 mins in 3rd quality.  Saints are starting to hot up though

[perthstormer]

Pratt having a good game

[perthstormer]

oh shit i go put some clothes on the line and the saints are comming back looks like we are having the lets go to sleep in the last quarter

[perthstormer]

We have just banged two quick ones in I think we are Home

[Christabella]

When the margin closed to 8 points I couldn't watch but they almost managed to get a 4th quarter victory (finished 3.3 a piece).

Anyway I'll be at Carrara next Saturday maybe that will be the week they do what I ask and play until the siren goes.

[Christabella]

Gibson is playing really well. 

Also just wanted to say best wishes to this bloke, hope he gets back on the field.

[Andy]

It's a real shame about Gibbo, he had pretty much cemeted his spot over Watt in the team.

Wow, another win, finals are now looking good this year.

I was going to go to the match today, but it was an away game and I didn't fancy sitting on Level 3 of TDome, besides, I cannot stand St Kilda supporters (sorry to those on here who are, I'm sure you're in the minority who are ok).

[Christabella]

I won't say anything about the match itself but the experience of a game on the Gold Coast was something different. They are really making a good effort to connect with all fans up there (not only the members as is usually the case). They invite everyone to a post match function for as little as one dollar (proceeds going to charity) where you are given a chance to ask the big name players questions ... I got to ask one of Archer and it made the night (sitting behind the noisiest Crows fans) worth while in the end.


I will say one thing about the match, we had the Storm game playing on the radio at the time and by the third quarter I was encouraging Melbourne to outscore Adelaide and they weren't far off it.

[perthstormer]

good to see they are doing something pro active still think we are a shot at finals.  Robert Walls on 6pr last week said he thinks dons and us will not play finals and have dogs and dockers in the eight.  I hope he is wrong I cant see freo being there
