Autopsy Post-game: North Melbourne dances with our sister, draws against Brisbane

Also I love how in the “handball to Disco” scenario the ball doesn’t hit his back/his shoulder/the ground like many of our handballs during the game do.
 
I think Konstanty should have changed direction and cut inside. It would have opened up the 50. Not sure if giving it to Stephens.would have ended well as he would have been on his right foot unless he could have sold the dummy or used Konstanty again. Just my thoughts.
Jimmy Bartel said the same thing, Konstanty should have run at the Lions player to see if he commits, if he does then give the handball if he doesn't then it's a deeper inside 50 entry. It's a moot point but had he given off to Stephens I think he would have plenty of time to straighten up and get on his left, there's acres of space in front of him.

Ironically and has been mentioned the one time larkey puts on a hard lead to draw the ball early is when we didn’t need him to

That lead konstanty felt he had to honour

Brisbane after playing 9 games in 2018 had 1 win and 8 losses with a percentage of 82 and were in 17th spot.

Roos after playing 9 games in 2025 have 1 win and 1 draw and 7 losses with a percentage of 78 and we're in 17th spot.

Hopefully some parallels continue between the sides.
If Clarko has been calling this with the comparisons… He may well be the actual Nostradamus
 
Absolutely dominated the best team in the competition.

If you still can't see the improvement, then you just enjoy self-loathing.

Still disappointed but this is way different than the last 3 years.

Then this needs to be converted into a win Sunday.
Otherwise all is for naught and means absolutely nothing ( again )

Key difference though; Brisbane weren't bottom 2 for the previous 5 years before 2018. i.e they weren't as bad for as long as us.

We've had 5 years of not winning, poor performance, etc. They didn't have that handicap.
 
Another game where Larkey’s opponent scores votes.

He’s not been great the last month.

First time I’ve seen him with genuine lack of confidence in his goal kicking.

Commentators are starting to pick up on his bad habits.

That running back into the goal square in the first qtr when the player kicked it straight to his opponent because Larkey made it at 80m kick was ridiculous.

He’s built some really bad habits playing in a poor side.

It’s probably been required to get on the score sheet, but he needs to be more team orientated. He needs to lead up at the ball. He needs to stop always trying to get in the back position for goals over the back

You only "dominated" bcos we could barely bring ourselves to give a shit. Roos busting a gut, Brisbane in 2nd gear & still no win for North.

I somewhat agree however, the body language from big sooks like Harris Andrews sooking it up because his backline was barely standing up and Mortis having a cry at every opportunity certainly doesn’t suggest they didn’t give a shit.

To get top 4 positions on the ladder, Brisbane need to win half a dozen games away from home. If we werent so smashed with confidence, it would have been a belting.

Anyway, Fitzroy Lions are dead and dont exist. Go brisbane

I always find it interesting that the professional eye usually comes up with pretty much the same score regardless of which club they happen to coach

Lol you guys were definitely busting a gut at the end there and would have scraped over the line if not for being forced to kick it to Comben repeatedly. Need to stop walking into games expecting the easy win and being shook when lesser teams don't let you play your game. The Eagles did it for a half too. Respect your opponents!
