But, I mean, the Cats, they're rock solid.

I mean, they always are.

Where do you think their deficiencies are?

I mean, they've got Smith and Holmes through the middle of the ground, and then they've got Atkins, who's their hard nut in there, but he doesn't get a lot of the footy as a genuine inside mid.

So he's just more of a defense.

He gets more tackles than bloody disposals most weeks.

And then, I mean, Georgie Stephens is thrown in there.

Dangerfield very rarely goes into...

a center bounce anymore and then they've got they put the coning at half back and um henry down there oh sullivan oh sullivan is going to be an amazing player but he i think still he's he's only young and occasionally gets monstered in in one-on-one contest but he's going to be a terrific player they've got a great tagger but are there like what line are you worried about

He only kicked 40 for the year, though, and he's not playing very well.

No.

I said the same thing a couple of weeks ago.

I said the dark days of being a North Melbourne supporter are over.

And then they put in a performance like they did last week, and then they just sneak over the line against the Eagles.

And Shanahan had a...

A gettable one late.

He slipped that one across to face a goal, and then Waterman, who's got a serious case of the yips in the last fortnight, like he just has forgotten how to kick a foot.

Yeah, it was a bad ball job.

And he was so angry last week that he would have done 1,000 set shots, 1,000 kicks during the week, and it didn't help him clutch.

And then they have massive moments with a big mark from Larky down the line to Cherry to save the game.
