Whenever you're forced to score 105 to win, and even, I mean, you look at, they've scored almost 100 and they've lost.

So whenever you're forced to score north of 100 to win games, you just ask a lot of your group.

Yeah, no doubt about it.

I was at that game last week and they were very, very good.

In fact, I probably thought if you had said 10 minutes into the third, how do you think this plays out?

I did feel the longer that game was going to go, the more North Melbourne's potency was going to show up.

But, you know, maybe some mental fragility.

Griffin Logue kicks it along the ground.

The lead goes from two goals to three goals and then completely goes...

um, rudderless from that point on.

You know, you just look at them defensively, at some of their numbers, they're the second worst team in the competition.

Essendon are far and away the worst, but they're the second worst team

at preventing ball movement.

And that shows.

And you run into Sydney.

So all things being considered, the fact that North Melbourne are so poor at preventing ball movement and Sydney are so good at ball movement, it's probably amazing they got so close.

But that's the element of the game that they've got to continue to try and tidy up.

Again, Comben's got... If you have a look at their defensive group, the group that played yesterday, I think you can mount the argument in 24 to 36 months, it's a completely new group except for Comben.

Parker's probably not there.

I think they'd love to go past Griffin Logue.
