Game Day Round 5, 2026 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[010203]

Inaccuracy is now infectious.

 

[martinson]

Cross wind is making things difficult

 

[Nathan Barley]

Surely Fort has to go

 

[Elixuh]

I think Kai’s shank kick put linc and Bruce off thinking the wind is swinging it much further than it is

 

[Nathan Barley]

Better quarter for centre clearances and setup behind the ball.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I think I love Oscar Allen

[luthor]

One of those days with our goalkicking

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Im I the only one who dislikes gather round. Playing a s&$t club, on a s$&t ground in s$&t conditions in front of a crowd where the majority don’t care. It’s just trash

 

[Toffee Lion]

One of those days with our goalkicking

3 of them are rushed behinds and the wind is shocking.

 

[Elixuh]

Levi and will just want to skii over Norf. Cmon boys just give us a quarter and we will prob win.

Inaccuracy is now infectious.

Need to play the conditions. Better trying to scrap shots from 15m out. The wind is all over the place.

“We” all love gather round… but the weather in Adelaide this weekend isn’t exactly facilitating quality footy.

 

[KissKiss]

Surely Fort has to go

I think we need to consider ZZ with Draper at some point. Think he might offer a little bit more

No it's awful, same with "opening round". It's just the AFL trying to milk $$$.

Similar to the NFL when they put games on at international venues that have shocking pitches. It's all about $$$.

 

[luthor]

I think Kai’s shank kick put linc and Bruce off thinking the wind is swinging it much further than it is

3 goals instead of 3points.

Would expect at least two of those to be converted

Only great for those on junket trips. It sucks for everyone else outside of SA

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Feel for Jordy commentating this. Every time we do something good it sounds like his cat has just died.

He's just an incredibly miserable dull person.

 

[CarterS]

Never going to be an easy game. Kangaroos in good form.Early rounds of season we are inconsistent, even though we are double premiers.

 

[Pacman82]

Having been to Gather Rd a couple of times before, I can confirm its pretty damn good to go to..

 

[Ceebee]

I think I love Oscar Allen.

I already do .

 

[dlanod]

Having been to Gather Rd a couple of times before, I can confirm its pretty damn good to go to..

Looks amazing right now

 

[luthor]

Losing Stoppage Clearances 11-18,

Usually our strength.

Inside mids need to get to work

 

[braddsey]

Better prepare for wet weather footy in Q3.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Losing Stoppage Clearances 11-18,

Usually our strength.

Inside mids need to get to work

Our rucks need to stop hitting the ball straight to LDU

 

[irish]

Where are the Ashcroft boys today ? Lochie needs some support if Bailey wants the big money he needs to earn it starting now

 

[twhowler]

No Xerri or O'Sullivan and getting pumped around the ball.

Maybe Draper in to the wind should just smash it forward?

My heart tells me we are done today and 2-4 is a worry

My head tells me I have a history of wetting the bed...
