Strange thing to say but I don't think the Bays would be playing this sort of footy if they had beaten South in their first match of the season. That loss really stung them into action.
Bays are playing some pretty incredible footy at the moment. While us supporters want that wave to continue, there would be a few, who like me, reakon North are just the side that could bring us back to reality.
I saw the Roosters first hand last week. Fair to say that South were quite shocking, but North still had to convert their opportunities and they did in a big way.
I worry about how we'll match up on a red-hot Damon White, and Alleway looms large for us, like Chambers does everytime we play Sturt. I think Forrest and Rudolph can do the jobs on these blokes, but the real battle will be whether Glenelg can curb the influence of Younie, O'Brien, Allan.
Having said that, I think North will struggle to hold McConnell, Duldig, Grima and the amount of opportunities Bode, Backwell, Fisher, Ruwoldt, Allen and co will supply them with.
Makes for a great game. Hopeful more than anything, but Bays by 19 points.
Is 2009 the year of the Tiger?
