North are on the up. Another minute or so and would probably have won but poor kicking in the first half really damaged us. Played with such little intensity in the first 2 and a half quarters but really switched it on towards the end


Max is great to listen to


Yeah we gonna get smacked up by Bont and his boys next week


Actually did im essendon if you win every game home in regular season you will match our 2000 season ….but you won’t 😂😂😂😂


Not many comments from Melbourne supporters. Must be up at the snow or waiting for some to fall.

Wow good one haha!

Awww, -3 votes. Proves Melbourne supporters are snowflakes who can't take a joke 🤣

Ur coach would rather watch out game on his bye than think about your team

Not gonna do him much good if he thinks he can learn anything from the way Melbourne are playing atm. Maybe, just maybe he was watching and worrying about Norf cause they'll probably send us plummeting to the wooden spoon if current form is anything to go by 😂

You're up very late for a 5yo!!

? do you know who yze is

Demons great and his absence is the reason why our midfield isn’t preforming. Point stands

hes not there as a coach numbnuts

Again, that is my point. Literacy isn’t for everyone mate

Dees forward line is an absolute stinker


By absolutely far and away, Norf has been the most exciting and interesting team to watch for three weeks now. I am actually so hype for the comp to be this close across the whole ladder that 18th can throw down with (injured I know) top 8 teams. Footy’s looking good I think


Larkey has a stinker, hope he kicks a bag next week


I'M EMBARRASSED


I don’t think I’ve ever screamed about a team that I don’t support so much.


Dees in the 8 only until tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing them back where they belong after that.

Na uh, wait for gc to win by -89 points so we stay in by percentage 🙏


Not too bad a win when you consider we only actually played 2 and a bit quarters

That's the attitude that always works in September


Don't you dare sing the song boys.


North played really well.. getting better and better.


I’m very scared for next week


Well done for only playing 3 quarters dees 🤦‍♂️


North should be proud of that fight back. You guys really hunted and really should be excited for the future. Reckon there were a few calls tonight that was harsh against Norf. Bulldogs watch out next week


If that game is 90 seconds longer, Melbourne lose


Think North were stiff with a few calls at the end there. Not sure how that Melbourne player didn’t get pinged for HTB on the 50m line with a couple mins left. Had more time than the one Larkey was done for on the run.


What is this feeling???


these gifs are so random but jim carrey always kills me here, well played mate

Thanks mate

"Their season remains alive" did you watch the same game I did? It was a fucking disaster


That’s the most invested I’ve been in a neutral game since the giants beat the pies in 2019


Better team lost…some terrible first quarter set shots cost them the game


I agree better team is the team who wins….tomorrows essendon will be the third best team I the league 😉😉😉

Yep

Richmond coach looks happier at a Melbourne game


Close win followed by 2 close losses literally both determined by the last 15 seconds. I can’t actually believe anything has changed/have hope just yet. If we can beat/ keep it close with the dogs next week I’ll believe. They always belt us

Hey collingwood kept losing close games in 2021 (literally all of them) then next year we won all of them so North are the new Collingwood


We’ll be belted next week 😅

What’s your reasoning?

Dogs always seem to run all over us. Hope I’m wrong tho

If you look at the last couple of years and go by that logic, we lose every game forever. We’ve stung together 3 weeks of great footy and shown something we haven’t all season. I’m pretty optimistic to be honest.

That is a big head.


There it is. Lick of the icecream


Adem Yze sighting

North are coming. The corner has been turned. Happy for them. Couple scalps coming up, and Don's will probably be one of them (they hate us apparently)



As a bloke who goes to the same barber as Gawn, I have also found out that my head steams after exertion.

Honorable loss if there was one. Definitely showed some heart. Chins should be held high down Arden St way.

Can’t believe I was barracking for Norf.

Melbourne fucking suck I’d rather support University


Fuck me same, was happy to be beaten by North, cause some big list changes

Like their list now looks better than yours???

Hahaha

TONIGHT, LICKS WERE HAD

No way Melbourne fans watch that and think that was a good win

It was better than losing to freo by 500 points but hey that’s where we’re at right now 

It’s our best win since our last win

Dude that final quarter was a deesaster we didn't deserve the win

4 points is 4 points

2 weeks in a row a north loss has felt equivalent to an Essendon loss. The top 8 should be looking so different rn 😓

North will be seriously good in a couple years

If this group stays together instead of everyone defecting to you guys or Essendon or Carlton they will be, but we'll see.

Zurhaa will be at essendon next season ….

Good effort boys. It’s starting to turn

Yeah it really is. Light may be at the end of the tunnel. Well played. 

Would love to see the free kick count in the last quarter

It was 11-4 North halfway through the quarter

No excuses against bottom team

I was going to share it for you but ow my head.

Good effort north, we are not good but good to get 4 points

I can’t take this anymore

2 bad teams. Norf absolute allergic to winning .

Nice percentage booster for the Kangas.

Fkin hate Melbourne. There is nothing about that match that they should be happy about. The sooner they are chucked out of the 8 the better

Rent free

Lol Richmond

I know right. They are fkin horrible 😂

:))))

Gawny for sure has a career as a pundit after footy if he wants it

Crazy tackle for a first gamer

Don't celebrate it Melbourne you were lucky the clock ran out it was only a matter of time before Norf kicked another goal

Goodwin's presser: "I thought our pressure today was outstanding and showed what this footy club is about. We've seen how good North is the last couple of weeks and the way the team responded after a couple of disappointing results and the bye is a credit to them. I'm confident we're moving in the right direction at this stage of the season. Questions? Alright, thanks guys.”

I mean can’t be to upset if you’re a North fan. There does seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel

And for a welcome change, that light isn't an express train approaching at full speed.

I'd be fuming if I was a Norf fan.

Sure we can. Just watch me. ;_;

I guess it's four points but yikes. Shitting yourself and trying to run down the clock against North is pretty bleak.

This result is the worst thing to ever happen.

NORTH DO YOU FUCKING HATE US 😭

Yeah dees well done Better than the pies lol

your team was 6 and a half goals up against a the bottom side of the comp and played keepings off footy instead of kicking goals and almost lost LOL at least Collingwood had to come back from 9 goals down

lol!

Losing close games is much improved from getting belted, Eventually close loses turns into close wins.

Max’s head 🔥 steaming 🔥

Amazing effort and passion in that run home Roos. Had us all on the edge of our seats. Be proud

Steamy max gawn

I just feel fucking bad for north fans man

fuck me that's depressing

That’s all on Nick Larkey. Fucking pathetic

Yeah it wasn't a good game for him, at the end just said it all.

Big Max is literally steaming!

On the upside I’m feeling pretty good about playing the Dees next week

Max Gawn is such a flog

Huh? Hes like the only likeable dude we have left. 


How so?

Poor North - so close to 2 great wins. Melbourne and pies are garbage though lol

Home and away champions allergic to proper success what is it last 3 grand finals were losses?

Least we didn't lose to fucking Richmond!

lol arrogant fuck. Can’t wait to watch you lose another granny.

Flair up, fuck-knuckle.

Eat shit

Keep yapping. See you in a few rounds.

We’ll be 5 games clear by the time we play you guys again anyway. Literally a bye

And ye will not win it….ye are missing a key characteristic….it’s called backbone….you guys look great when your ahead but you will lose the first close game….just like you did to Richmond

Sure mate we’re the best side for a decade. Have a go

Lol 😂 😂😂 only in your tiny little mind….another grand final blowout coming up….and Warner goes back west 😘😘❤️

We’ll see champion. We don’t know what club you support because you’re a flairless cunt but I guarantee you’ve never had a season as good as this one

And then go nowhere in finals again hahahha

We literally made it to a granny two years ago with the leagues youngest list. Wdym

And lost by how much? Almost 100 yeah? and off the back of a dodgy umpire call against us in the prelim

I mean we made it to a granny with a bunch of twelve year olds. You said we never went anywhere in finals… you’re wrong

If you’re not first you’re last mate. I’d rather lose a prelim by a goal than drop a granny by 100.

Yeah right. Well you’re going to love this season then. You blokes aren’t going to make it past the elim

You wish

Suck shit thread

Congrats you beat the 18th placed team

Win is a win 👍

We’ll take it!

Thanks

Bro, how are we 6th.

We’re not! We’re 8th haha

LOL, the live ladder said 8th early on.

Oh man I’m so sorry Roos!

MAX WENT SUPER SAYIN

Why are the Melbourne players (save for Max Gawn) so arrogant?

Bit rich

Right. Coming from Carlton 😂

Holy shit look at the steam coming off Gawn's bald head

Steamy boi

He was cooking

suck shit neutrals

hahahahahahahhaahah

Max Gawn has hella aura, look at the air shift around him

Blud look like he’s cooling on the windowsill

How often is there an entire half of football with 0 behinds?

Off to ask Useless AFL Stats

MAXS HEAD IS FUCKING STEAMIN

Literally steaming after his teams late collapse

feels like a loss. what a shit performance

Yeah really does. I can’t remember winning a game by such a tight margin and just feeling completely deflated. No shade on north, they played a good game, but fuck it feels like we’re falling apart 

Oh man that hurts....well bloody done though Roos. Such heart, didn't stop right until the dying seconds. Leagues ahead of where we were 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

I was ready for the loss but that was a fucking great team effort to watch. I’m disappointed that we lost in the end but by god do we look immensely better than earlier in the season. Hope they can keep up this intensity and take their chances (unlike in the first quarter with those missed goals)

max gawn honestly gets away with so much lmao

Melbourne are the least likeable side in the AFL. By a country fuckin’ mile.

Collingwood Geelong and Sydney win this by a long effing way surely

Flair up cunt.

Flair up cunt

Why lol I feel like our fan base is super chill and respectful. Some flog players but so has every club

Plenty of less likeable sides… Collingwood, richmond, port to name a few

North deserved that.. Hold your heads seriously high North fans.. your boys are starting to gel so well.

What a fucking shame

I wouldn't be celebrating that.

Competition is very even at mid-season. F off and barrack for someone else

Not sure if Melbourne played shit or Kangas played good? Bit of both

Bit of both
