SYDNEY v NORTH MELBOURNE
Saturday 13 July @ SCG
Teams go through lulls – especially those who are atop the ladder by two games and percentage. The question is whether you think Sydney are lulling or weakening.
Collingwood last year lost 3 of their last 5 entering the Finals then won the Flag albeit with an aggregate winning margin in 3 games of 12 points.
Well the Swans are entering this phase losing again this time to St Kilda. They've 3 this year and all under a kick. But there are signs of some degradation in performance.
So the re-entry of Mills and Parker soon, both for leadership and effort, cannot come quickly enough. Others will welcome two wrecking balls.
However it won't be easy as North has found a formula which is helping to make them very competitive and it starts in the guts.
Winning gives all a taste of what it is to be content. The youngsters in the middle are standing up with a good ruckman and a top defender in Comben.
Match | Sydney | North Melbourne | Ground |
Last time they met | 14.9 [93] | 14.6 [90] | Marvel |
Last 10 matches | 9 wins | 1 win | |
Notes | Syd has won last 7 but only by an average margin of 12 PPG | ||
Last year was the famous Interchange maximum infringement game |
In the grand scheme of where they finish, it may not cost Sydney but they would want a much more consistent, four quarter game and it will be a good test.
Sydney but only JUST!! The start looks appealing.
Match Selection: Sydney by 24 points
Suggested Bets: North Melbourne +49.5 @ $1.91 @ bet365
