Rd 19 North v Centrals @ Prospect

[Wedgie]

Yummy, chicken is on the menu this week

Chicken is yummy, I love it.
Its a pity North cant get in the spirit of the Olympics in China and eat some dog!

[Dutchy]

although to be fair we have given up bagging the team and the coach because we can no longer be bothered.

Apathy is the new "mediocre" at Prospect these days.

Excellent, we wont hear anymore baggin of North by North fans for thes rest of the season thats a promise Id like you all to keep!

I wonder what has happened to the bloke that was bagging Roy last week!

Ahh, the tradition of getting KFC after a North game this week.

Dogs too much class, firepower and confidence. North not without hope I guess, but I think a dogs win by 100+ is more likely. Dogs by a comfortable 12 goal margin though I think.

Any chance Stribling will get a game in the league team?

I don't know so much about people tipping a big Doggies win. As much as North have been up and down all year, they still have a quality side and I think the thing that will prevent a big 10 goal win to the visitors, like some are assuming, will be the weather conditions. Initial forecast is for 13 degrees and showers so the ball will be wet and heavy, the cricket pitch will be a bog and it will make ot a slog fest so to speak. Think the wet conditions might just suit the Doggies a little better and although I would not be suprised at all if North got up, I will tip the Dogs to get up by about 4 goals in a close one.

Maybe I should tip Andrew Jarman's side by a decent margin and like last week, where I tipped Glenelg by 7 goals, just like last Saturday night, I might just get the opposite result again and see Roy Laird's side win by the same amount. For me, Centrals by 22 points...

Here's what I said over on the Central v Glenelg preview thread before Saturday nights game, how wrong I was (and bloody glad to be wrong )

Now I think I'm leaning towards the Bays by 7 or 8 goals, but again, that's with my head, not my heart and of course, I will be stoked if I'm proved wrong and we pinch an unlikely win...

Gr8 to finally meet BigPhil.

Hi Doggies Fans too

Central by as far as you can kick your hat.

A big thanks to bulldogproud for the lift to O'Connell St NA.

Someone's gone right back into the woodwork.

As for Saturday's game, I reckon Centrals by 74 points

I was in the Prospect area for work today and popped my head in for a look at the oval. It was an absolute bog in the middle and there were a few puddles in some pockets. Also, the conditions aren't getting any better either with the forecast for more rain up to and including the weekend so I don't think the ground is going to hold up too well and get any better.

I say all this because I think the conditions will make the game a hell of a lot closer and a 74 point result, although would be nice, is highly unlikely. Like i said earlier, will be a real slog feast and think the Doggies will just be strong enough to get over the line by under 4 goals. AFL selections could play an interesting part for both sides this week as well ???

Nice to meet you too sturtpeter

Was a pleasure standing next to you all day ( ) hearing you congratulate the officials on their wonderful performance all day Sunday

[Country Cock]

dogs by 13 goals

Is that all !

That would be a good effort !

[Dog_ger]

Poor Roosters

It will be very close Mrs_Dog_ger...

I think people are getting a bit carried away. Sure we beat Glenelg but up 'til then, we had been playing some pretty crappy footy. North are all over the place like a mad woman's hairdo, so anything could happen. I still think that we will win but it will be a tough match. I probably won't remember too much, as I will be pissed, thanks to The Roosters President's Lunch & Wally Karpuik.

You should have given me more notice, I could have booked a couple of seats and met you there with a free seat for someone else!

Hmm, good point! It's not my fault though, if they didn't sell the stuff, I wouldn't drink it.

[sturtpeter]

Offthe topic, sorry!

Wally Karpuik worked as a salesman for my late dad in 1973.

So it looks more like 74 points will win the game rather than Centrals winning by 74 points, though we have given North at least one belting a year for about the last 10 years, hence the 74 point margin I predicted
