Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Dogs v North Sat March 15th 7:35pm AEDT (Marvel)

[hawkman]

Umpires did their absolute best to get North across the line.

Umpiring was fine. A few bad calls both ways but not too bad

 

[windyhill]

His commentary all match has been ****ing embarrassing

Where do you start on this campaigner ?

 

[Elixuh]

Derm isn’t going anywhere. He was on the last line the last few years but with the new Fox deal they need him. He’s awful.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Archer will get weeks for that. Dog shot not seen since the 90s

Oh please - it was a genuine contest that happens in footy. Do you want him to pull out and flop like Watson or Ginnivan?

Rory lobb cleaning up all the Gatorade bottles in the room is classy, he didn’t deserve to be terrorised in his own home in the offseason.

Surprised at the praise from commentators on North's showing, they shouldn't be losing to a dogs team missing half their starting mids, and about 4-5 other best 22 players.

Skills still so poor from North, surprising given how many possessions they get, you'd think they'd be better at disposing.

Backline still an absolute mess, all well and good to get a couple of mature age players, but they keep recruiting mids when they clearly need tall and medium defenders.

The singular incompetence of Charlie Comben and Cam Zurhaar is what lost it for us in the end.

Replace them and we would have probably won.

Oh well.

I'd add McDonald to that list as well.

Agree you're not far off, but dogs were there for the taking.
Gotta start making inroads this year.

Agree we should’ve won, but I think we already have made (small) inroads.

Replace Comben with wil dawson, Zurhaar with Duursma, maybe McDonald with Hardeman, and the result would’ve been different.

Agreed mate. North really hit hard against this fully fit dogs outfit.

 

[voorhees]

north still need to learn how to win.
Dogs were nothing special, and could of copped the loss.
onto next week for both

He has the amazing ability to make the most mundane bland basic facts sound like deep existential philosophical truths.....

Back in the day you'd say "this ****wit has swallowed a thesaurus "

What do you want me to say?

WB have been a uniquely difficult matchup for North for years.

After several absolute massacres, that was one of the more competitive efforts we’ve mustered.

Just think it’s funny to say the result would’ve been different with your three injuries.

I’m sure if Bont, Treloar, Weightman, JUH, Jones and JJ were all playing it would’ve been a bit different too.

The opposite works too. He’s hard work.

Oh well.

That last connecting kick inside 50 killed you, as it does many developing teams. There was more to like than hate tonight from the Roos I thought.

What? Read the post again. He's saying they were shit.

North really should have won this game , The doggies were cherry ripe to be picked
and north just didnt handle this well and let a very winnable game slip

The 1st qtr was terrible.
We rallied and came back but then let in two arsey goals at the end 2qtr.

Some good signs but also so many dumb errors.

 

[Nicho50]

Darling and Parker were awful.

I’d be surprised if North win more than 4 games this year, I think that is their ceiling.

You couldn’t get the dogs at a better time with the amount of outs.

 

[Mr Meow]

Shocking loss for North Melbourne.

Maybe that 8 win season is still at least another year away. Last night they had a golden chance to start the season strong.

Looking at their fixture and that missed chance, they’re likely to be 0-9 before they meet Richmond.
