Clarke’s own stats have gone down but he is certainly limiting his opponents as well
Parker was absolutely on fire leading into our game
Beat Cripps and can limit Cunnington also.
Blitz has been screaming for a tagger and now we have one not happy with his offensive output (partially why Woosh didn’t want to play one)

Essendon - Clarke + Snelling = WIN
sorry, I had to smile at that. Clarke really smashed them.

Cunnington will surely be the prime target for Clarke.
Normally it’s just “We’ll concede the midfield battle, hope we can intercept in the backline, then run and gun with Saad+McKenna.” It’s so strange for us to be thinking about actually “targeting” an opposition mid. I like it.

Squiggle
6 models give North Melbourne a 51-67% chance of victory over Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Saturday with an average tipped margin of 7 points, but 9 models give Essendon a 51-58% chance with a margin of 4 points.
The stats blogs are about as split as can be. I suspect our poor inside 50 ratios are a factor in our below average rating on many algorithms
I’m 10 points ahead of the aggregate on tipping. I know better than squiggle. We will win.
*I reserve the right to back away from this statement should the need arise.

Hate that bald headed Cunnington.
We’ll win.
North will play the territory game, long kicks down the line their new mantra, but we will setup accordingly. Hooker will be back(!!), he and Francis will have a field day, and we will counter punch these cretins like it’s 2017.
McKenna and Saad to split the middle all game long.
Stringer to kick 4 from within 20 metres of goal.

Shades of Smash Hits.
Hooker will be back, Back, BACK!
Love it.
David Teague, Stephen Coniglio, Brisbane, the umpires, Dyson Heppell are all in the Sliding Doors' spotlight
Great to see North’s biggest bandwagon flog gives us no chance.

They will dominate hitouts, contested possession and I50’s but ultimately without reward. We will intercept in the back half and win quality clearances through our ability to get the ball to the outside and explode with pace from stoppages. They’ll bring some serous physical pressure in the contest but their forward half pressure isn’t anything to write home about and we wont allow them the number of marks I50 they got last week against the Saints.
Literally nobody is picking us
We beat these kents by 60 earlier in the year
They’ve been overhyped big time by beating a battling Pies and average Saints

Get there early folks, expected crowd of 48,000 and will be a shitt fight in GA. I believe this is a replacement game for their home match in Hobart last week so their members have GA & reserved seat upgrade access tomorrow.
It’s not a replacement game, there last one was a few weeks ago v Collingwood.
Fk all of their fans will be their.
