We didn't stop J. Johnson. He won it. Lloyd kicked 9 but it was Johnson with an amazing 13 clearances that won it. Harris and Rawlings were both left off the ground at crucial times, big mistake. Jones and Cochrane left on during important times, huge mistake. Byron into defence in the last, probably not the right thing.
King and Pickett both struggled to impact when the game was in the balance. But overall, the team did well. Stevo would have made the difference.

I disagree. It was a pathetic effort. One quarter, no matter how big, is not going to sustain scoreboard-wise for the whole game. Pagan should watch a replay and see where he went wrong:
J.Johnson, nothing done
J.Hird, nothing done
M.Lloyd, nothing done
At least not until it was too late and those three players had brought back th rest of the team into the game. Poor coaching. Poor game.

North had a huge lead in the first quarter and they still couldn't bet Essendon. But over all it was a good game for both sides and Moti.com maybe Stevo would have made a difference but North made a few mistakes as did Essendon.
But Essendon were just the better team on the day.
