Norf made the finals because they played all the bottom teams twice last year. They have recruited well with players soon to register with APIA. IMO the most overrated coach in the AFL. He'll probably complain that the roof wasn't closed!!!
They are were they should and one of many teams vying for the 8 (outside better) but top 4, your joooooooooking...

North Melbourne are a very overrated side for mine and I held that view during the off-season.
I tipped them to play finals purely on the basis that they have one of the oldest and most experienced lists in the league and hence they should be expected to play finals this year but I've never expected them to be a flag threat. If they fail to produce the goods this year then they're in massive trouble in the future with the lack of young talent coming through considering they have this illusion that they're close to winning a Premiership hence the recruitments of Waite and Higgins in the off-season, which meant Greenwood was squeezed out of their salary cap and he felt his position at the club was under threat as well.
It would be great to see North crash and burn this year. They got smashed today but credit to Adelaide they were terrific with Phil Walsh leading the way in his first game as coach. We have a tough match on our hands next week against the Crows if they repeat what they did today.
