Booney, you just make sure you write North off again this week in your pre-match write up, as you did against Richmond & then $ydney on the weekend.

Cant say they dont deserve to be there, but they are clearly the worst team in the eight imo.
10 other teams would have beaten Sydney tonight

I dont feel like they would have beaten any of the other teams in the eight had they played them, in either week, but as you guys seem at pains to point out, i keep underestimating North.
Be interesting to see how they go this week

Bulldogs and Crows were two of the form teams in the comp as the finals had started. Both would have beaten Richmond and North
And if you think beating sydney was harder than Hawthorn you have rocks in your head

Maybe you can beat melbourne to make the finals next year?

Lol both the Crows and Bulldogs came off losses to sides outside the 8 where Richmond came off a win against a top 8 side!
Are you serious?

You don't agree you got the "soft" side, until now?

Sydney won 3 more games than us, finals hardened, albeit missing 3 good players, had to travel up there & play at that shit-hole. Scoreboard didn't reflect North's dominance.
Both games the opposition have been favourites with bookies, most of the media experts didn't pick us and certain posters made Richmond their "safest option" & Sydney were to win easily others claimed.
Remember, we're apparently the worst team in the 8.
Remember, everyone wanted to play us.
People are only guessing what may have been if we played the Bulldogs or Crows or Hawthorn - probably the same ones who said we wouldn't win week 1 or week 2.
Finals soft? Yeah ok.
