Well done North. It just goes to show you can win even when you have an inferior team. Port could not have played any worse, although I can't fault the boy's efforts. We always have trouble playing scragging-type teams.

Elite fitness and trademark 4th quarter steamroller on show once again from... North

Never gave up. A lot to like from that come back.

It's a fair question. Port stopped running during the 4th which is strange for a side that has proven to be the fittest in the comp.

When did this happen? They've talked it up but really they've only played two incredibly unfit teams in Carlton and us before today. North were patently fitter

North too good. Greenwood & Cunnington smashed us on the outside which allowed nicky Dal to cut us up.

Port looked really flat. It was a danger after last week being billed as the biggest game since 2007 for us. Bar a couple of patches where we had the momentum North were on top for the majority. Always a bogey side at a bogey ground for us so I'm not totally surprised. Time for port to regroup for the Lions now.

Why all the negativity about North? I think they are playing pretty damn good, much better then their first two games. Playing up to the standard they should be playing; if they can go in with this intensity every week will be a worry for pretty much all teams.

Its the usual WCE, Freo and Essendon smartarses

Gets really old
 
Miraculous recovery yesterday by those 8 dogs with the flu last week anyway.


We're a developing side, bound to be inconsistent. Our list isn't in North's position and we've got probably four or five more players that need to either improve or be replaced than North.

North won't be a top four side carrying four of Bastinac, Gibson, Currie, Adams, Greenwood and McMillan.

Yeah that Greenwood, he's a real dud.

Imagine you blokes had a bloke who could come out of the reserves and have 34 disposals and destroy the contests and clearances.

Better yet, imagine you had one in the seniors.

I'm sorry you are right. Greenwood isn't a slow ball butcherer with a touch of the fumbles.
