Should be a good game this one am looking forward to seeing how far North have come in the past 6 weeks since their slow start to the season. Been very impressed with Hansen, Anthony, Ziebell and Goldstein then you got Swallow who's seriously becoming another Marc Murphy and Brent Harvey doing what he usually does. Wells, Petrie, Edwards, Pratt all need to ensure they play the game of their lives if they are to have a shot of taking down Collingwood. I'm not sure what the loss of Dawes will do but you'd expect it to be a slight concern as Cloke will feel little more pressure knowing he's the go2guy and lining up his shots 30 metres out directly in front. The line is 46 points and it may sound like alot but Collingwood have had the wood of North for a very longtime now but something tells me North will be as hard as the contested footy and will gut run till the final siren regardless of the scoreline. It's probably the 2 main points Scott will ask of his men and I reckon they won't lose by more than 8 goals, not this time around. North have improved a great deal since last time they played and Petrie is too good and too big for the Collingwood backman if the North boys can kick it to him with precision.
I'm taking North Melbourne +46.5 points

this game is over as Collingwood are up by 67 points right now but seriously, North Melbourne have given up, totally given up! They aren't even risking their bodies to get the ball out once it's on the ground. This is a major reason why Collingwood are getting more credit than what they deserve. There have been a few teams that give up before halftime and today is a great example. No excuse for North, unfortunately it's a reason why they will struggle to be a top 4 team in the next decade. Shocking display and would hate to be a North Melbourne supporter and even worse, a North member
