How long have I been saying this for??? AD curiously conspicuous by his absence, the silence from him has been deafening. Wouldn't have expected anything else really though given his past posts and behaviour. Am just happy that the Eagles keep on improving and defying expectation, some real tests to come though so am not getting carried away by any stretch of the imagination.
It would be good if some on here showed some class, but after years of being proven wrong, it's unlikely to start now

beaten the top 2 teams this year..cant be too much of pretenders....ohhh that's right...brad scott pleaded with supporters not to get carried away as 11 senior players had operations and most were late starters to start training and the cruel draw they had the first half of the year while the team will lack fitness.
good to see nothing changes here

You're not dead mate, crikey I thought you must have bitten the dust as the silence was deafening :)
Obviously though you've been looking in the mirror again as when it comes to incorrect predictions, you're the king.
How are the Eagles going again by the way :):):)
As for beating Fremantle in Melbourne (their form has been craap for the last 12 weeks) with no Pavlich and the way they're going currently, that's a big achievement not.
I actually tipped North, don't trust them to back them but was more than happy to tip them in all my tipping comps.
Next week is the test for them against the Dogs at Etihad, the Dogs are genuinely exciting, they played some really good footy in the first half yesterday and if they play anything like that next week it will be a very good game. Depending upon who lines up for them I'll be tipping the Dogs and more than likely fairly condfidently, they have a very, very, bright future, they just need to find a decent ruckman in the off season. Stringer is an absolute star.

Oh dear exposed as the great pretenders again by the Bulldogs.
Breaking news. North supporters demanding that the club rewrite their theme song to include the following lyrics:
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender Pretending that I'm doing well

Been talking them up for a long, long, time now and refuses to admits how wrong he's consistently proven to be in regard to North Melbourne. Also said West Coast or implied were no good and going nowhere. Couldn't have been found with an indigenous tracker until North beat the Dockers in melbourne which they were always going to do. The Dockers form has been poor for nearly three months now, even I tipped North in all my tipping comps that day, I refused to back them though as don't trust them as far as I can throw them but was confident they would win.

They may well win but it won't be any walloping, No Naitanui or Sinclair the first time around and the Eagles should have just about won, they're a big chance of knocking them over.

If the Eagles don't win by at least 40 points I would be severely disappointed. North finished where they finished for a reason and they have had a charmed run, Sydney totally put out of business by injury and have been stopping and starting anyway all year even without injuries and Richmond go to water everytime the word finals is mentioned. The only thing is the Eagles won't get a sharp hitout, Shuey injury is a concern for the future though, he's absolutely vital to us. Put it this way if the Eagles somehow blew an opportunity like this to walk into a grand final I would be nigh on suicidal. There's absolutely no such thing as a certainty but the Eagles next week are the closest thing you will ever see to one.

They have won 4 finals in two years, just admit you got them wrong. Saying they are lucky every time is just pathetic.
Oh and, you got Waite and Higgins seriously wrong as well, but I guess you can't admit that either. It is sad you can't just say it as it is

Lebanese Taxi Driver only seems to pop out of the woodwork when he is moderately correct on something.........strange that he has been so silent while the great Lets Elope's predictions have been overwhelmingly correct. I fear his daddy didn't tell him that real men admit when they are wrong. The word C O C K A R O A C H comes to mind........scurrying from the blinding light of Lets' wisdom

I hate Kangas but im on only because of Waite. When Lets was Bagging him i was on him. Press are the ones that kill players and have them retired earlier. I hope Stevie J finds a new home next year and does well.
Hawks vs Kangas GF Go Vics

Simple, Freo's form is poor and has been for over three months now and they're nowhere near their early season form and the Hawks own Freo. Hopefully though they beat the crap out of one another.
The other game is not even a contest.
Waite has been good which I had previously acknowledged but lets see him put more than one relatively undisciplined and injury free season together, the same goes for Higgins but both have paid their way this season, what I stressed is that their recruitment wasn't going to take North where they needed to go that needs to come from players who were already there who consistently haven't lived up to the wraps on them. Still waiting for him to admit that I was right all along about the Eagles and how poorly coached they previously were and the underlying problem was their skills which I insisted was the one which needed urgent correction.

Lets how the fcuk has north had a charm run? Finishing higher than w e last year they got a harder fixture this year than yiur mob. If anything wce had a cushy run. To beat wce yiu have to have a even free kick spread between 2 sides. 2ndly besides the elimination fonal 3 years ago north have had wce measure in mostly close game's. I doubt wce would be sitting where they are if they had played in melbourne. You got the hawks on a downer......hawks or north for priemiers

Looking at the north home page i was able to confirm what scott gad stated afrer 11 playees went under the knife. He said not to expect too much from tge team in the first galf because of the slow recovery rate of pre op players behind in fitness.as the season has progress they improved to a a point now that they are the first team to finish 8th and reach a prelimary final. Maybe you was fooled lets not knowing other teams plight. Anyway the hawks look back in form. Flat as a tack against wce and the loss has done them the world of good and look the premiers. Usually teams hace to do a apprenticeship appearing in prelimary finals.hawks,freo,north have do it more than once

You have every right to believe that Megsy, as deluded as it may be but the Eagles pressure denied the Hawks their game and they've been vulnerable on more than one occasion this year, they're far from invincible.
They'll get past the Dockers (hopefully they'll beat the crap out of another) because the Dockers are miles from their best, Adelaide didn't even put up a fight last week, if we can get to the GF in reasonable shape and the like of Shuey, McGovern and Schofield are fit and able to play somewhere near their capabilities, I don't fear anyone and I'll give you the tip, neither do the Eagles.
Twice this year they've played the Hawks to a standstill and had no Naitanui or Sinclair the first time around either and then lost McGovern with 11 minutes to go the first time around which just coincidentally was when the Hawks gradually got back on top again in the final quarter those last 11 minutes.

My point is you didnt do your home work pre season...you dont make a prem final last year. Improve your team to be called great pretenders. Dont get me wrong..wce deserve favoritism.having the break and home town advantage and usually umpiring advantage. I just feel you got it wrong with the pretenders claim not knowing the medical over the off season.

How have you improved, think you've won less games and about to get a big hiding again in a preliminary final??? Where is this so called improvement??? Improvement would be winning more games finishing top 4 and making a GF, you haven't achieved any of those things and are unlikely to do so.

Surely even you can comprehend this Chariots or maybe not.
2014 finished 6th 14 wins, 2015 finished 8th 13 wins with much lesser percentage, where's the improvement??? If and when they make this years GF then they've improved.

Obviously you never read my post..they never improved?.. im sure i mentioned 11 had surgery pre season and scott said it wont be u til the 2nd half the year you see any improvement. The recruited well. 7 players who never played in last years finals ( hansen,garner,tarrant,waite, higgins,macmillan etc ) last year they beat a tiring ess and just held on to beat geelong. This year they have won 9 of the last 11 games which includes the last game of the year wuth half a team. They have beaten rich and syd at contested ball and running in packs. I believe wce will win only because of the warmer climate and the weeks break that favors wce. If north kick long out of congestion it probably plays into wce game.But be careful of the underdog if they have a sniff. Your way too cocky lets

Congrats to WCE 25 point winners..where it was easy lets is a laugh..what i seen if it was on the other foot with north playing at home with a weeks break..thats what i would call easy mate. Hawthorn at home and more impressive win...easily mate...easily.
Also lets...be a man and retract your rubbish about north. First time in WCE short history they were held scoreless first quarter. Again well done WCE

Game was over from halfway through the 2nd quarter when the Eagles were back in the game and by halftime the Eagles were well and truly on top,it was just not reflected on the scoreboard yet.
North played as well as they possibly could have in the first half and the Eagles couldn't have possibly played worse, once the Eagles got their game going the class difference was telling.
Waite made a huge contribution by the way and went missing as per usual when really needed.
The weeks break can sometime work against you and it certainly did initially for the Eagles who looked decidely rusty early, umpiring had zero to do with the result you want to pick out umpiring non decisions, Kennedy clearly held just outside the square (certain goal) Eagles rundown tackle from behind well inside the 50m arc I think 3rd term or maybe the final quarter clearly holding the ball, umpiring was shocking and worked against both teams. Kangaroos nowhere near good enough Eagles kicked 10.20 and still won easily if they kicked straight its easily 40 or 50 points, they gave away a 22 point start and won easily I was concerned they weren't going to get a decent hitout well they got the hitout they needed.
If they bring their best they'll give the hawks all they can handle and then some.
Hawks showed yet again on Friday night they're vulnerable down back if you move the ball swifty into your forward line, they'll have their hands full with Kennedy and Co, if the Eagles can get on top in the midfield through Naitanui and Sinclair abd as for goldstein, Naitanui overall had far more influence on the match. Wellingham phenomenal, Sheppard outstanding again Priddis second half terrific as was shuey, LeCras very good constantly working up and down the ground, Schofield McGovern all good under pressure and Kennedy was just a colossus again. You weren't to talk about Carey's deed Kennedy is putting together as good a final series as anyone has for quite some time.

funny man with your logic..22 points up you say a quarter time...game should have been over, north should have been 6-8 goals in front....umpires never had a bearing on the game?...please, dont you follow twitter of other states newspapers?
logic is if north went into the game with an outside runner ( wells ) they win.unfortuantly he was injured.
if the game was played at the MCG the results would have been different and please dont talk about class. north had beaten you the last 3 times. only 1 team has won a interstate prelimary final in 7 attempts and that was hawthorn friday night.
its nobodies fault but norths for not having the double chance and you can say they had reasons, but no excuses..your too much a one eye lets
if hawthorn brings their best 10 goal win otherwise hawthorn in my opinion to win 30+
and while your wanking on about kennedy and comparing to carey i suggest you go watch the 1996 prelimary final against brisbane for starters

You would have thought after being proven so wrong about Hawthorn a few years back he would surrender.
But no, footballs worst judge wasn't done there.
At least now he will admit his football knowledge is basic at best, Amen

You heard it hear first stalker boy, North can't possibly win the 2016 flag even in the wide open year that it is this season, they're impossible start laying them with a trowel now. They;re the fremantle of this season and remember I told everyone who would listen fremantle were worst top team I'd ever seen, I repeat North can't and won't win, so you've got plenty of ammo mate but I suspect when they fall in a hole when the pressure's on that you'll mysteriously go missing yet again.

Cant and wont win it's as simple as that, bet you're aren't prepared to come out and say they'll even make the GF or actually shows some balls and say they'll win it which of course they can't and won't.
