North Melbourne vs Geelong - Round 11 - Telstra Dome

[rooboy_Tim]

The main reason I am tipping Geelong is that the roo's are coming off a 6 day break and they had to travel interstate last round.

I think they will be very competitive and I certainly hope they can cause somewhat of an upset , But I am tipping Geelong

the pussycats will win.

but their football isnt very convincing at the moment

[MIGHTY MAGPIES 01]

Geelong should win easily, the Cats play their best footy at the Dome.

Outstanding effort - so proud of the boys tonight. Considering the young and inexperienced team we had on the park tonight we were fantastic. Have been told from a heap of people that i've spoken to already that the umpiring was discraceful. I won't get too much into it but oh boy, one of the worst i've seen for a while.

Hey Borak

I didn't get to see much of the game, but I heard the majority of it. Considering the odds that were stacked against us I think we were extremely brave in defeat. We stuck with them all night and had a few things gone our way who knows what may have happened.

players like Riggio, Lower, Urquhart, Thompson, Thomas, Campbell etc all stepped up tonight and that's were our future is. It's looking very promising

as long as we can beat the dockers in Perth next weekend, we will still be in fairly good shape

GO ROOS!

p.s I tipped Geelong by 19 and I was only a goal off it. Not a bad effort I thought

Watching the game ... umpiring was awful (as always) but it felt like Geelong would get 3 goals up, let North to within a goal then go back to three goals up

Yep, totally agree. Geelong never looked liked they could lose, and Ableet is an absolute superstar, love watching him play. Full credit to North though, they put in a very good performance, and it might have been different if they had targets up forward in Thomo and Corey Jones.
