Round 2 North Melbourne v Brisbane - Sunday 12th - Eithda Stadium

[LF]

Both teams will be looking for their first win,North was blown away by the Crows and Lions lost narrowly to Pies,who will be 0 - 2 after this weekend?

[GoLions]

Norf played last week, so North will probably play this week :-X

[Ringo]

North will be really hurt with their effort from last week so will make it that much harder for us to win with the Scott spray ringing in their ears.  We will need to be consistent for 4 quarters not one and a half if we are to win.

Will be interesting to see structure Leppa adopts to cover Rocky whether he sticks with small or brings in another tall.  Both Staker and Close played reasonably well in NEAFL trial last week so will be in line if Leppa wants a tall or failing that Zac O'Brien or Nick Robertson will play. 

[Ricochet]

Expecting North to bounce back pretty comfortably

[kilbluff1985]

yeah North should bounce back as much as i hate them

hope Hansen is back for BXV

[Nige]

Depends on whether North of Norf turn up, but I don't think it will matter in the end and the Lions will get up.

[AaronKirk]

North should win.

Merrett a big out for the Lions, probably a bigger out than Rocky.
