Ideally no more goals for North and we kick at least 3-4 more.

Landon has had a great second half to the year. I was a very vocal critic but he's found 2021 form. He was close to being dropped.

This is turning into a carbon copy of the game here in 2021.

omg Harmes lol

Omg Gawn got a free kick!

North are going forward and kicking a goal on their first entry. You can smell it.

That is holding the ball.

Jordon is horrid.

No we're not lol They have a shot on goal literally every time they go forward. This is a certainty.

Getting embarrassing. Every single time they go forward they get a shot. Every single time the ball is in the air they contest it. They win almost every ground ball. This is comfortably an 8-9 goal loss atm. All that saves us is a North capitulation.

That goal won't matter. They look like scoring every time they go forward.

We are in second gear and it shows. Chandler's effort on the far wing a few minutes ago summed it up. Just assumed the North player wouldn't cover the spare or get there in time.

Bruise free with no pressure but also badly outcoached. Clarkson absolutely laughing.

We've gone from being great on small grounds and average at the MCG, to average on small grounds and great at the MCG. We seem to struggle assessing distance on small grounds.

North averages 67 points a game. They have 35 to quarter time at 67% F50 conversion. Richmond started similar last week and we badly need to reign that in before finals.

Switched off.

this is sooooooooo poor.

If Collingwood finish first and lose, and we lose our QF, the Prelims would both be interstate. Not travelling can't be avoided if you lose.

finals are going to be carnage this year and at least one of the top 4 will go out in straight sets. bulldogs, cats, blues and yes even saints can cause an upset on their day. i still think it's melb, Collingwood, daylight and the rest, but the finals are going to be very tough this year.

same last week. back to early 2000s Geelong it seems.

4K as well

Despite all of this, they are undoubtedly the least appealing, most unmarketable team in Victoria. They had one of the best teams of all time in the 90s, were prime time every Friday, had Nike throwing money at them, and played in at least the Prelim for like 12 years straight. They sure have done a lot for the game. But that they are in the position they are is either an indictment on the club, or a reflection of the club's irrelevance.

Port is arguably the most arrogant AFL club for a while. And i don't mean Geelong and Hawthorn arrogant because they talked the talk and walked the walk. Port have this weird sense of entitlement that is quite comical. Assume it comes from having Koche as your President and Hinkley your coach. Not at all surprised by this really. They function in a bubble. Crom will win a flag before they do.

Had 2021 written all over it, that last quarter.

lol our defenders have been kings of not getting the ball over the line tonight. This has Port game written all over it. Dominated third but then fall short.
