Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 10 - Tigers v North - Sun May 18th 1:10pm AEST (MCG)

[Lunchtime]

I'm not sure why everyone is getting emotional about the result. This game in the scheme of things means absolutely nothing. Both teams are rebuilding.

Both teams get draft picks at the end of the season. The future matters. Not the here and now.

Seriously, think about this game and this season in that context.

 

[Shinboner roo]

Pathetic, Richmond stiff

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Overall umpiring was excellent. They leaned towards not calling it, which is so much better than what I saw yesterday at the crows pies game

North don’t get a draft pick

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Xerri made the 40 man squad last year like Cameron....

Egg on my face then lol

 

[SSSSSS]

That felt like a loss for North Melbourne if I'm being honest.

 

[Frank Thring]

We fell in, I'll take it after falling out the last 3 weeks

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Richmond will
Play finals again before north does

North have been playing for picks for 5 years and even a few handout picks from the AFL

They should be smoking you

Agree. Not much to take out of that

Oh well. Says more about them i guess.

Yeah. Bit of a drought breaker but hardly worth celebrating. North were terrible.

 

[Lunchtime]

North don’t get a draft pick

Thats their problem.

When you've won 1 of your first 9 any win's going to feel like Christmas

 

[The Casey Cat]

One of the most unconvincing wins ive ever seen. Tigers should have won that

It was but after so many close losses North just had to find a way.

North have played pretty well for the past month and have been unlucky not to get the wins.

If they grab the 4 points here while playing ordinary, then maybe that's just swings and roundabouts....

 

[Acinath]

How’s Simpkin in the interview after the game banging on about they knew exactly what they had to do in the last minute, etc

Laughable given everything that’s come out this week about not practicing for that.

 

[Mr Meow]

North almost threw away another game because they lack quality veterans who know how to win. Their kids would be doing better at a club like Geelong or Collingwood that has maintained a winning culture and has good leaders.

It makes you wonder how many of their youngsters are set up to fail at AFL level, or at very least, not get the best out of themselves. Not everyone gets a second crack at it.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Pathetic, Richmond stiff

This. North basically refused to attack in the last 20 mins

 

[HairyO]

That's what I thought. There have been some simply terribly umpired games but this one wasnt too bad.

 

[SSSSSS]

Agree. Not much to take out of that

At least you didn't lose. You guys seem to be inventing creative ways to lose games the last few years.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Cracking battle. X is a beast. Carried our team on his back to just get us over the line

 

[CrowToon]

The non-call in the last minute as LDU handballs it over the line should get that umpire dropped. Pathetic

they said we'd practiced closing out games this week, although you wouldn't know it watching those last few minutes.
