Kossie fantastic. He’s inside the doggies defenders heads. much better last 15 mins. Winning clearance and smart inside 50 play.

Brain dead footy. Goodwin needs to this team a bake at halftime

Gus a liability tonight

Nervous defensively. Petty a little off. Doggies sharper around the ball. it’ll be a close game I reckon

Small crowd

Port inaccuracy will cost them

Young Sheezel can play. And comes across as a level headed young fella in his post game interview with Ben Dixon

Thoroughly enjoyable game. They nearly coughed it up but a great confidence boost for North before playing Freo next week. Reckon they're half a chance.

North have lost their composure. aimless bombing into F50 and over handballing.

Long season ahead for the eagles. very stodgy ball movement. north should be at least 2 goals further ahead

Umps being kind to North

10 hours to go. Time passes slowly on gameday.

Last years MFC won't have got within 5 goals If you watched our preseason games you'll have noticed our ball movement much quicker through the corridor and into our F50. And we have 3 debutants tonight as well.

I'm confident. Boys have a point to prove this year. Dees by 25 points

The pies are a superbly coached team. McCrae, Bolton and Leppitsch have devised a game plan the team have embraced. And they have instilled belief and confidence in the players to execute. They look fit and will be a contender for sure this year. Can't wait for Kings birthday to have a crack at this mob.

pies won't die wondering.

Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision. And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

Hawkins next hopefully

Proper game. so much better than last nights rubbish.

they could do that. just beat the cats before they do.

pies need to tighten up. way too loose inside their defensive 50

thats a good finish from dangerflog

I'm finding myself shouting for the pies. didn't realise I hated the Cats so much.

Pendlebury just handballed over his head to a Collingwood player who didn't break his stride (Hoskin-Elliot?). Hate the pies but can't help but admire Pendlebury.

As I understand we made a compelling case but didn’t have the currency to get the deal done. I’m pretty sure he would have been a success operating in our midfield.
