RooBoyStu: Already white flag up So useless North Melbourne As useful as a condom on a 60 year old.
pcaman2003: Traded Ashcroft for Zach this week, so maybe I’ve done something right.
nbartos: hard for a small norf fwd – ford – to score
Troglodyte: Lift Hobbs
hmmmm: hobbsy is doing fine come of it

TheFlagger: having 19 a lot better than 18 for these reasons
bhg26: Cool, Fords playing

JohnHoward: out of respect of norfs main sponsor Mazda, can we please nickame eddie ford, eddie MAZDA
TheFlagger: which nuff nuff brought ridley in
beerent11: Feel a lot better about norf this year compared to last. Can see the future. Just gotta keep em.
beerent11: And goldy has to play into his forties
bhg26: Planned to have 20 this week so ford shouldnt have been one of my 18 but then sic gets suspended and mitchell a late out
Doggie Doo: Here comes Norf
pcaman2003: beer. Your side like ours will keep improving from here.
Pavs: I’m that nuff nuff Flagger.lol
Pavs: Couldn’t do Wilmot anymore doing my head in.
beerent11: I thought I had twenty but Davey jnr was taken out
Drak: Is Nic Martin going at 100%
Bwad: Merett, jeez louise. Not regretting holding the C on him…
hmmmm: merrett surely gonnna cop the tag from q2 onward
TheFlagger: lol
slydon: holy zerret
TheFlagger: browny got fanfooty open
naicosfan: ofc my opponent merrett C and i can never hit a C
Doggie Doo: Wow Ferrett
pcaman2003: Zach you little ripper.
naicosfan: ton first quarter
beerent11: Fox footy uses champion data for their player ratings.
bhg26: Surely thats an effective kick for sheez
TheFlagger: zerret not stopping wow
Bwad: Tag won’t matter at this point for Merrett, he’s scoring 130 min
hmmmm: jesus christ this is a monster quarter, thank god I left C on zerret
Manowar: Ford has become a Mini
wadaramus: Merrett ridiculous!
wadaramus: Ford Fairlane, no, Ford Fiesta.
TheFlagger: zerrett lucky that kayne turner’s not playing one of the best taggers in the league
Cottees: the one bloody time I don’t C Merrett… classic
m0nty: this is like when Paul Chapman was on 75 DT at quarter time against RIchmond, he was going so well he pinged a hammy
hmmmm: zerrett has outscored fiorini + atkins entire games combined last week
slydon: my captain, oh captain, we shall follow you!
wadaramus: Merrett on track to crack 300.
Drak: Thats just mean Monty
pcaman2003: Considered Zerrett for C but took Naicos VC score. I should still win hopefully.
naicosfan: zerrett going to pass bont halfway through the second
Manowar: big mistake!
beerent11: We?ve had a lot of big 70+ starts this season. Most of them end up about 140-170
naicosfan: donut laverde
beerent11: Was the right pick pcaman
Hazza09: Ford must be following Briggs around somewhere
Bwad: Monty please, don’t you dare…
nbartos: your as old as me m0nty – i remember that!
Bwad: Simpkins needs a bandaid
pcaman2003: beer. Usually if over 120 I take the safe option.
Bwad: Zerrett needs like 5 icons, he’s been that good
bhg26: Why does hall still get a game
DrSeuss: Don’t take Ziebell’s kick-ins Hall – you hack. Also get involved Ziebell
pcaman2003: bhg26. Beer has a special place in his heart for Hall 🙂
Hazza09: Hall being in the team is ruining Ziebell
beerent11: Just don?t think you can play two terrible defensive players in defence. We?ve already got ziegull there.
Doggie Doo: Ford now out of first gear
p0nga6: don’t stop now Zachary
Yelse: C Zerrett get back to 1st Qrt form
beerent11: Great effort by the kangas to pull it back
navy_blues: great kick hall
Hazza09: Flower off Hall
AlbySmedtz: That’s not the Hall Pass we’re after! Gold!
wadaramus: Get involved Ziebell, chips and gravy mate.
pcaman2003: With Simpkin out now,should help Zerrett even more.
Manowar: Ratten doing good job, sack Clarkson!
bhg26: Hall is every criticism naicos cops dialed up to 100
slydon: i think merretts either copped another corky or the one from a fortnight ago is still niggling, hes been limping a bit
naicosfan: Maybe pca, but now he has a tagging opposition in shiels
slydon: pure speculation this time big chief dont get angry
beerent11: Think I remember Bailey Scott tonning up in Perth in his debut.
navy_blues: spicer is a dud get rid of him
pcaman2003: naicosfan. Not sure if Shiels could keep up with Zerrett. Be interesting!
bullet08: hobbs alright?
beerent11: Naicos makes his teammates better bhg. Hall just uses them for one twos.
naicosfan: Indeed pca, I don?t think so either, I think the pressure might get to zerrett
Doggie Doo: If Ford can get to 40 he makes owners some serious coin.
TheFlagger: ffs has zerrett gone backwards. fire up mate
Ooost: Wardlaw 😀
bhg26: Thats what im saying beer, he is who every critic thinks naicos is
naicosfan: How is norf still in this game
sc_god: merrett never plays well when tagged, but still should be good for a 130
pcaman2003: Wake up Ziebell and get going
Ooost: Imagine The Bummers lose this 😀
wadaramus: Carn Norf, lift and supplement your players with ample fantasy scores.
Bwad: Piss off Hall
JohnHoward: hall has single handley destroyed both sheezel and ziebell
Hazza09: Hall has destroyed Ziebell
p0nga6: what’s a good score this week?
Yelse: hall needs to pull a string again
beerent11: Wardlaw looks a goer
TheFlagger: logue stinks
navy_blues: cmon norf keep going
bullet08: couldnt agree more flagger
hmmmm: who was it who said wardlaw was a trap at his price?
wadaramus: 3000 would be a good score.
beerent11: 2/258 p0nga. Before tea on the first day.
JohnHoward: logue is like the rip off version of josh gibson when was at norf.
naicosfan: Thomas hasn?t been playing too bad, he has some great pack outburst qualities
pcaman2003: p0nga6. Any score that wins.
JohnHoward: and the norf version of josh gibson was a terrible player
bhg26: Has Hall ever laid a tackle
pcaman2003: bhg. I remember seeing him lay one in 2018
Spifflicat: Wardlaw reminds me of a better version of Tom Green, a faster and cleaner
pcaman2003: bhg. Oh! Hang on. That was an egg.
BigChief: bhg you have laid more AFL tackles than Hall
bhg26: I dont believe that pcaman
beerent11: We?d take that spiff.
wadaramus: Go the Cowboys!
Pavs: Nope Greenwood done
DrSeuss: Piss off Hall – such useless possessions and plays no defense and screws Sheez and Ziebs – ultimate seagull
navy_blues: Go the Cowgirls id say
nbartos: wow norf in this
bhg26: Hall supposedly gets 2.5 tackles a game this year, this must be a conspiracy
pcaman2003: Happy with Phillips again this week.. Just need Ford to get over 50
naicosfan: Definitely, I don?t think hugging oppositions with intent of chatting them up counts
beerent11: There?s a lot public condemnation going on with degoey. 4 weeks? Or more? Everyone competing to be the most outraged.
naicosfan: I feel bad for norf and west coast, their key players keep getting drilled with injuries
beerent11: Was pretty average
Pavs: At least 3 maybe 4 beer. He was after a holiday probably Bali
Hazza09: Hall has completely ruined both Ziebell and Sheezel, why they play him I don?t understand
Pav300: I don’t understand all this Hall hate – it plays a good first half and they are in the game at half time
beerent11: Seems a backwards facing move hazza. They need the ball in the kid?s hands.
Cottees: yeah no idea why Hall is played. North better without tbh
beerent11: Stop being so reasonable pav300 we?re trying to have a Fanfooty pile on.
Pav300: lol Beer
DrSeuss: Hall is the same player as McDonald and Ziebell – except they both at least try to play defense
Pav300: U are right, some flog even bagged Zac that qtr and he is on100 at half time lmao
TheFlagger: time to trade ziebell/sheezel
hmmmm: unlucky if u brought in greenwood or simpkin
_newcomber: greenwood gone?
beerent11: Ford loves the baby oil
beerent11: Cmon Roos!
Pavs: Got bigger problems Flagger.lol
bullet08: yep newcomb
nbartos: greenwood out is huge
Raspel31: Not the right venue to air personal probs Pav.
_newcomber: bugger, it was between keays and him aswell
Pav300: Hopefully Wardy will get more time on the ground with Norf mids out
TheFlagger: great to see phillips up and about
Cottees: Yes Phillips my boy go you good thing
DrSeuss: Wardlaw spent the last 10 minutes of the 2nd qtr on the pine and now starting the 2nd half there as well
beerent11: Good boy will hunting
Pavs: Cheaper than a Therapist Raspel. I’m sure I will get only positive advice on here.
TheFlagger: lol hall
Pavs: Cant say Therapist?
Pav300: lol brother Pav
Pavs: Ok that word is banned I must remember that
a1trader: Where did this come from??
sc_god: bombers cooked
navy_blues: lmao loving this be some stirring at work tomorrowif this keeps up
beerent11: Cmon!
Wends: Evening all. Getting dragged backwards like a bad 80s horror movie this round, well my ranking is arrrggh!
TheFlagger: ridley has come good maybe im the nuff nuff
Raspel31: Fat lady not singing yet- just jiggling a few bits. Carn Dons!
bullet08: go on miller
wadaramus: Sheezel and Ziebell, get involved!
TheFlagger: whats everyones projected
beerent11: Wardlaws confidence is growing
Yelse: maybe at their bye zeibel and sheezel goneeee
Pav300: Evening Wends, this chat needs some of ur sunshine!
beerent11: Then halls hammy goes twang yelse
Pavs: Well i’m offended Pav300 giving nothing but sunshine
Wends: Lol Pav 🙂 I was getting sunshine from Raspel’s burlesque visuals lol
naicosfan: Siebel
Pav300: lol exluding all Pavs, Beers and Raspels of course
clay007: Is Sheezel worth keeping?
naicosfan: Whoops , typo there, ziebel to Sicily for me after bye
Yelse: Zerrett done nothing this quarter but go backwards
Hazza09: Sheezel to Oliver
beerent11: Luke mac was screaming at hall after that stringer mark
Pavs: I no right and Raspel tells me not to air mm personal problems. A bit hypocritical. lol
naicosfan: ? Hall, what are you doing
Pav300: lmao Yelse
Wends: Missed the Hobbs & the Briggs trains, but atleast took a punt with Keays over Greenwood. What happened?
navy_blues: oh well was fun while it lasted
JohnHoward: 8 MINUTES and the lead was gone. sadness
pcaman2003: C’mon Ziebell and get into the game. You too Sheezel.
Hazza09: Sheezel about to lose serious cash
TheFlagger: ziebell should get swung forward to get involved
pcaman2003: You star Phillips. You and Zerrett keeping me in this.
Manowar: looks like the half time booster shot has now kicked in!
Dondeal: Imagine your only insults being about something that happened decades ago. Salary cap Carlton?
wadaramus: Another good game for the neutral observer 🙂
TheFlagger: come on north
Pies20: Zerret 23points in 2 quarter’s??
Spifflicat: It could be worse, RooBoyStu could be posting, Dondeal
Wends: There you go Johnnie Howard. There’s hope yet for your mob
Pavs: See that one Flagger. haha nuff nuff. lol
a1trader: Bergman is getting better
Pies20: Pipe down with the pep tide comments that was ages ago who cares
beerent11: Reckon the ! On you keyboard is worn out to being a blank key manowar.
TheFlagger: lol fair play
Wends: Ziebell, what in tarnation?
Hazza09: Is this the end of Sheezel?
pcaman2003: Time to start scoring again Zerrett. No slacking off.
Pavs: Small victories mate that is all i get in life.
TheFlagger: hall has been immense this term
Yelse: merrett going to cost me both games
TheFlagger: ffs haha
Pavs: lol
navy_blues: larkey muppet
beerent11: Just trade him haz.
pcaman2003: Taggers are my pet hate.
_newcomber: trade sheez and zieb at the bye bye
navy_blues: ziebell is useless cant run
Bwad: How has this happened with Merrett? I blame Monty, he’s not injured but a huge mozz
beerent11: I?ve burnt too many trades on injuries and now degoey to deal with. I?m gonna have to hold. They?ll be ok.
Wends: Sheez n zieb will lose so much after this round, not sure its possible to hang onto them
beerent11: Shiels has done a cracking job bwad
EvilMonk: If there was ever a time for the Ying Yang emoji, Merrett deserves it. Gone cold
Bwad: He has, but Merrett is also weak as piss for allowing it. Captain soft phallus
beerent11: Bring in hall newcomber
Bwad: Merrett got touches and didn’t turn it over, yet he goes backwards? Frustrating scoring system sometimes
Manowar: roll up your sleeve Merrett!
Bwad: Surely there’s some scaling issue, incorrect scoring there
Hughsy: Merret should be 120 easily
ballbag: whats going on. merret was on ton t HT. give him the arse icon or something. knew he would get over 130
Doggie Doo: How many touches Ferrett that quarter
Bwad: Merrett again doesn’t score for a mark and a kick? What is going on?
Yelse: merrett has had effective disposals marks but not getting points don’t get it
Pies20: Rigged yelse
PowerBug: Very simple answer to the Zerrett questions
PowerBug: His Q1 score is scaling backwards as the game is close. This is not a new thing, it happens in every close match
Manowar: now u can stop all the sooking about Merritt!
sc_god: muay thai flying knee!
beerent11: They?re not going to get it powerbug and it won?t stop.
ballbag: thats not how scaling works. and you dont lose points for positive actions
Bwad: So if they were pumping North, he would be on huge numbers? I’ll have to look that up, seems weird as.
PowerBug: Pretty much Bwad. Close games = late actions are worth more, therefore earlier stuff is scaled back to accommodate that
sc_god: not as weird as you calling yourself bwad mate lol
beerent11: Thomas has looked ok. Hopefully the kick up the backside he needed. And also cmon norf!
Pies20: Got bomber’s in the gauntlet tips lift 💪
Bwad: I’ve never, ever seen a player get so many kicks and marks and get nothing… Been playing SC for ages
Bwad: Not sooking and sorry if I’m spamming, just genuinely interested in learning
Bwad: Don’t make me unsub sc_god…
beerent11: Most of his possessions in the first half were damaging score involvements. Not so much since. Pretty simple.
_newcomber: same pies, go the bombers
ballbag: sc point are done per quarter not per game.
beerent11: Tom green had 35 for 89 points today.
Raspel31: Look at Tom Green this arvo Bwad- the clangers don’t help.
Spifflicat: Your fine Bwad, wish I knew enough to answer you
Pies20: Bont would be on 180 beer lets be real
Bwad: Humpa would be on 250 :’)
beerent11: Bont is damaging with his disposal. I can?t see how that is so hard to understand.
Bwad: Merret going at 78% though Raspel???
stocko12: Clangers are direct turn overs which are worse Bwad. Have you never looked at stats before?
Wends: Bit of a Sunday cracker
sc_god: 8 of merretts 11 contested possesions have been ineffective
Migz: You also have to remember there is two crews for every game. There is a live crew at the game and a back up crew.
ballbag: Brett Fatten looks pretty rat hey
Migz: thats why sometimes at half time or breaks there can be big point swings for certain players
Hughsy: Totally agree pies
pcaman2003: C’mon Mr Phillips and crack that ton.
BigChief: Don’t even try beer. some people just will not listen.
Pav300: Great to see Norf having a dip
Wends: Dayum ballbag… cold as ice!
beerent11: Lots of the people on here are probably better suited to the dt scoring system.
Raspel31: No it’s not Pav.
beerent11: Sheez on fire
Pies20: Ueaj
Wends: *cold blooded 🙂
Bwad: Great game full stop
beerent11: This is the midfield group we need to stick with
Pav300: deep breaths Rasp
ballbag: @wends you know it
Hazza09: Ffs Ziebell
pcaman2003: On a positive note. I’ve won my round. That’s all.
beerent11: Great play hall
Doggie Doo: Forget Bombers making the 8 even if they win this
Bwad: I don’t think there’s any need for that Beer
Pavs: Have a feeling Rasp knows about deep breaths mate.
Pies20: Nah getting my head around the sc scoring
Migz: somebody go and throw some chips on the ground, ziebs needs a feed
Pav300: True brother Pav, he had the fat lady jiggling in the first qtr
Raspel31: Out Pavved.
Cottees: Man I love you Phillips. Great stuff
Hazza09: Ziebell going to be my lowest scoring player of the week, absolute joke
Pavs: Funny:)
Doggie Doo: Do we roll out the Norf fat lady ye?t
_Wang_: Everyone has him hazza
Pavs: I will take Bodhi Uwlands score of 1 as my cut out score please
Pies20: Move bomber’s
Spifflicat: Wardlaw is unreal for a three game player. His attack on the hard ball is worthy of a 200 game veteran
beerent11: Think wardlaw is my new favourite
pcaman2003: Hey beer! How good is W Phillips?
Cottees: Wang – I do not lol
Doggie Doo: Rofl Pav
beerent11: Pretty pretty pretty good pcaman.
BigChief: Really Wang? I have never had Zeibell in any year.
Migz: wardlaw is a mad dog. reminds of beau waters
Pies20: Me neither got day tho 🙃
beerent11: The shinboner spirit is strong in this one
clay007: Important point?
Badgerbadg: I?d argue that north have a better list and future than Carlton
pcaman2003: beer. One of my few decent picks lately. Ford doing okay too.
Spifflicat: Ziebell you potato
clay007: It appear so, especially when Ziebell kicks like a 10 year old.
Badgerbadg: And more to the point, will probably win a flag before carlton
_Wang_: Nearly all chief
Wends: Oh dear ziebs 😐
beerent11: He was a gun migz. My kinda player.
p0nga6: bombers can thank ziebell for this
Raspel31: Atta boys!
hmmmm: zieb has eaten some serious chips in the last 10
DrSeuss: Draper kick Vs Ziebell kick – who would have thought Draper wins that battle
Doggie Doo: Game on
JohnHoward: ziebs neets to eat some grass
_Wang_: Wardlaw is possessed
Pies20: North very plucky lately good to see
beerent11: These kids are so good
clay007: He dropped at the knees. If that was Ginnivan, play on!
Migz: why cant every game be like this, this is fantastic.
Spifflicat: That?s good Dr Seuss
Pies20: Zerret now getting points settle everyone 🙄 🤣🤣
Bwad: C’mon North
BigChief: Wang 32% in nearly all is it?
Nurfed: wardlaw so clean
Doggie Doo: Kick a goal Ferrett
Dredd: spicer has to be one of the worst afl footballers
Pav300: cracker game
Dredd: in history*
Bwad: Unbelievable
_Wang_: OK cheif you win
yeah_nah: what a game!
navy_blues: wow essendon cant put north away
pcaman2003: What a game! Goal for goal
Migz: i feel like wardlaw has been robbed of some points, feels like he has been everywhere for the last 5
beerent11: Holy shit!
Badgerbadg: This is entertaining footy at its best? unlike Friday night
Cottees: the games today have been insane
clay007: Raspel is at home attached to a blood pressure machine!
beerent11: He?ll get scaled up migz
Social: another ding dong humdinger
Pav300: Agree Cottees great Sunday who’d thunkit
Raspel31: Lol Clay- almost true.
_Wang_: Good game this
Pies20: Navy you can’t put anyone away at the moment really??
BigChief: Wardlaw is a bull. Norf’s future looks solid.
pcaman2003: Ford to kick the winner.
Ash777: Come on Draw FC
clay007: No pca-ford’s motor has blown
Doggie Doo: Draw would be good for Bummers lol
Dredd: that would be nice aye pcaman
bhg26: Hall avoids the contact and walks away from the contest with his back turned. He is fucking shithouse
Cottees: BigChief and to think JHF could be with that future lol
pcaman2003: Dredd. No pressure! Lol!
BigChief: Cottees if JHF was still there Norf wouldn’t have Sheezel and Wardlaw.
beerent11: I saw that too bhg. Weak as water
Spifflicat: A belter chaps and chapettes!
Cottees: Chief – fair call, did not know. Seems like a great trade for North
pluggerpig: norf starting to show something at least.
Sebeast: classic norf
navy_blues: bombers arent finals bound if they struggle like that
beerent11: Great effort shinners
naicosfan: what an end to some quality sunday arvo games, richmond by 1 kick, and essendon by a kick, doesnt get better than that
Doggie Doo: Bombers should be afraid how bad they are
pcaman2003: Great game. Have a good week all .
BigChief: Looking like a great trade by them.
Pavs: Awesome. Next week peeps.
Spifflicat: The strange bit for me, is that the two teams who lost have a brighter future than the the teams who won
sc_god: nth yes, but gws are pure garbage and will be for a while. kids are rubbish
H A MM E R: Every team has a bad day. At least if you win, not all is lost. Improvement can come without there being too much damage
