Silky.

Zerha further up the ground in the forward line has allowed then the forwards like Trembath and Larkey to play deeper towards goal.

We know how well Trembath started the season.

I don't think it's any coincidence that Zerha in those games was mostly playing forward when he was kicking so many of his goals.

Every time they've been able to chew into this lead, North, and feel like they've had some momentum, especially in this second half so far.

The Suns have just found something and found another goal, whether it's been a North Melbourne mistake that's led to it or whether they've been able to find some individual brilliance from the likes of Uland running onto his left.

Now is this centre bounce here that's coming up in this game.

It's so important for North.

It doesn't matter if they don't win it, but they need to make sure Gold Coast do not exit straight out the front door and go inside their forward 50.

Make it a scrap.

Game on at Marlborough.

We've talked so much about the function of this forward line with Cam Zerha being moved back into it.

In the first half, they just took three marks inside forward 50.

They had plenty of inside 50s in the first half, mind you.

And then the second half, they've already taken nine marks inside that forward 50.

Dersmer's been working really hard all quarter with not a whole lot of reward.

He's been working up and down.

He's got well ahead of the footy when they have turned it over and got into dangerous positions, but hasn't ever been used.

Now he gets the opportunity.

It's been great.
