I love the MCG, but the fact the higher finishing side will have to travel and play away to win the premiership is fundamentally wrong in a “national” competition.

When he was up and running, no one could stop him. Wellsy saw the game unfold before others and glided across the field with ball in hand like no other. A sensational player and an even better person. An absolute jet on and off the field.

Sometimes people embedded in sport can lose touch with what’s real, and what’s essentially just a game. This is one of those examples. Stunned by the timing of this considering the magnitude of Clarko’s decision to step away and what’s at stake.

Harvey and Petrie should have been allowed to go out in their terms, no-one will convince me otherwise. Drewy went on to play two more years and Boomer’s final year stats were almost identical to, if not better than, Toby Green’s - who was AA.

Not a good way to finish, but you can’t be discouraged by North’s second half of the season no matter how you look at it. The kids are coming through strongly and another pre-season under Nobes will hold us in good stead. Some more talent to come via the draft as we rebuild.

“He tried to assist others, and he got sat on. [Bailey] Scott didn’t even want to try and touch the ball, he made it a sole focus.”
