3. Only eight games free-to-air, and only three of these are home games. The least of any non-Victorian team.
Even North fans know that they'll soon become the Tassie Roos :(

I will make sure North Melbourne stays the North Melbourne Kangaroos for as long as I live.

You have my word on that.

@ c4v3m4n I totally agree. I may not be an North supporter but I wouldn't want the Roos to go to Tassie.

If anything, send Hawthorn to Tassie in a few years.

They'll get too dependant on the cash they are getting from the games at Aurora, that they might as well just move there.

Very true c4v3m4n, very true.

North and Adelaide have the best draw this year

Agreed. When I have my own multi million dollar cricket bat making business (:P) I will donate $10 million to the club to keep them up and running ;)

But seriously, I have said it before and I will say it again. We will not relocate. We will not merge. We will not fold.

we really do if we can beat GC and GWS in both games as we should we only need to win 8 out of 18 to make the finals, if we dont make finals this year, it should be considered a huge failure. The only top 8 teams i think we get twice are Essendon and Eagles i think we should get 2 wins at least out of that.

Essendon twice = two wins on the board there

And it was well done of us to play the Eagles in Tassie, big trip for them :)

that's why i said 2 win min, 2 on essendon and i like our chances against eagles at home? i guess we cha call it home. I have us down as winning between 12 and 15 games

tbh, I think if we win any less than 14 games with that fixture I wouldn't call it a very good season. It would be a pass, for sure, and we would make finals but I think 14 very winnable games there, min.

hopefully we can take out a team like gellong, hawks or collingwood on the way.

IMO, here are the biggest games of the year for us.

Round 1: North Melbourne v Essendon - Massive first game, crucial we get the year off to a good start.
Round 3: North Melbourne v Geelong - The best test there is. How we rate against the best in the comp...
Round 4: Sydney v North Melbourne - Hopefully we'll be on the right end of a 1-point win this time in our first away game.
Round 10: Hawthorn v North Melbourne - The Tassie Clash. We always play well against Hawthorn, hopefully we can beat them again.
Round 14: St. Kilda v North Melbourne - Another massive clash if we wish to make finals.
Round 16: North Melbourne v Carlton - Another quality rival and a spiteful clash. 2nd biggest game of the year behind Round 1.
Round 18: North Melbourne v Melbourne - I'm beginning to really enjoy these games between us. But with both of us been given two games against GWS and Gold Coast, we'll need to beat them in order to have the edge going into finals.
Round 20: Essendon v North Melbourne - Revenge and a top 8 spot could be up for grabs here.
Round 23: GWS Giants v North Melbourne - A massive percentage boost, how high will this push on the ladder?

@ roo boys You guys won't beat us twice. Maybe once but not twice.

You never know. Seeing as we are very evenly matched it would make sense to say that we will win once and you will win once, but with such close games in the past you can never really make an accurate prediction. Line ball.

You guys need another target to kick to other than Petrie if you want to beat us.Maybe Aaron Black when he gets a few more games under his belt.
