Match thread: Swans v North

[dejavoodoo44]

Messy win but I'll take it. North Melbourne are not pushovers this year.

And they currently have a fairly short injury list. Which is helpful for stability and form.

Some questions have to be asked around our defensive mix, but bank the 4 pts

[UUaswan]

Curnow for Cottee
Warner/Jesse/Cleary for Lloyd

Good tough effort to strangle the game. Must be a bit strange for John Blakey; celebrating the 1996 North premiership, while watching son Nick play a leading role in denying North today.

The only time that we haven't got to 100 this season was the Hawthorn loss. And it was another case of first to 100 wins the game.
