Rnd 6: North v Eagles @ Prospect Oval (Sat 18/5)

[LPH]

James Craig is around 6ft 5 tall so not overly short but he does have a good leap but Parry will be a handful no doubt but our midfielders have been good all year so that will be important re getting the ruck hitouts re clearances.

Re your comment LEH - I can't recall the "Crowing Rooster" for at least 2 seasons maybe more? Mind you it is hard to hear anything from the Taj!

Was there in 2011 - not last year. Last time I was there, it 'crowed'. Would be happy to see/hear it gone though

Unfortunately the crowing rooster was there in the game against Norwood. These days though it is like Joffa's gold jacket and only appears when the game appears won.

I have always cringed when I heard it. It was actually the brainchild of the greatest, Barrie Robran, I guess even he can make one mistake in life.

Well despite an improved sound system I am fortunate that I cannot hear it at the Taj! Or maybe it is the fact that we are so distracted by the "interesting" conversations that take place on the Hill at each game that I can't hear it?

[tipper]

i cant recall hearing it this season, nor last (but that doesnt mean it doesnt still get used) but i agree, if it is still used, get rid of it. highly embarrassing.

North’s running game is great when they get it together, but backing each other up under pressure has left them vulnerable this year and has resulted in poor delivery skills that has lead to some bad/ugly/frustrating turnovers. Match fitness has been good which means we have petrol in the tank to run the game out to the last siren, but so have the Eagles. I can see this as a game of errors and determined by pressure on the ball carrier. The side with the least errors will get the points, but the Eagles may have the body strength to force more North errors and that too will affect the outcome. LJ will be missed because he has the strength to match and not be brushed aside. Eagles by 5 points.

Big game for both teams.

Heard it on the TV a couple of times in the Norwood game.

I think the Panther roar worked OK ... just never enough goals to use properly.

North don't need it for mine, they grandstand alway sets up a cheeer after every goal ... at Prospect you dont need to manufacture crowd support, it is already there.

The ones voicing their disapproval towards the "crowing rooster" are mainly North supporters.

Nothing to do with the alcohol then

I think Magic and o five are both Rooster fans Rod

Personally I'm with you. It sounds terrible on the radio

[johntheclaret]

Redden out is a big loss maybe ?

As expected Snorkle in for North
Roosters by 20+

[The Sleeping Giant]

I like the "rooster crow", but only once, and only when the fat lady has sung.
