    Round 6 - North Melbourne

    I think we all got a bit carried away with last week's poll. That was our worst tipping effort so far this season.

    We haven't beaten North Melbourne in Melbourne since way back in Round 11 1996, when we thumped them by 79 points at Optus Oval. Since then our only victories against them have been in Sydney or Canberrra. Are we travelling well enough at the moment to win? North put up a very good performance against Collingwood on the weekend. Over to you...

    Not all of us got carried away.

    The reason we haven't beaten them in Melb for so long is we have hardly played them in Melb in the last 10 years, or so.

    The only other times we've played them in Melbourne since that long-ago win were at the MCG in the 1996 GF, and Round 8, 1998, with both games lost. In that time, I doubt we would have won the games against them that we lost at Manuka Oval and the SCG had they been played in Melbourne.

    The Swans should bounce back after facing the best team in the league last week.

    Swans by 15.
    I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!

    north had a hard slog, we had a nice rest in the last quarter of our game so should be fresh.

    This is a danger game, if we are a genuine flag threat we should be able to win this sort of game. We need to put the geelong loss behind us straight away and get a win without hall etc, just put it all behind us.

    If adam goodes doesnt play an awesome game this week there is something wrong with him, he must be fired up surely?
    Theres not much left to say
