Whateley · The Leadership Portfolio with Luke Hodge | Whateley (04.08.26) · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Can these young forwards who have been inaccurate at times in pressure situations, can they kick straight or calm their nerves in front of 100,000 people knowing there's a premiership medal at the end of it? voice-verified

Can the midfield who's rebounded voice-verified

Can they stand up against whatever gets thrown at them? voice-verified

So these are the big questions and it's only questions because they haven't been there before. voice-verified

Every other challenge that you look at Fremantle, they've got massive, massive ticks and they've got so much respect. voice-verified

The final one normally comes when they've been able to do it on the biggest day in September. voice-verified

So for them, I can't wait to see them finally get a crack at it considering how humble and how well this playing group has handled so much pressure. voice-verified

I just don't understand where the pressure's come from. voice-verified

Obviously, you want to win as many games and a wild card was a goal, a hit. voice-verified

But the biggest thing for North Melbourne was stability at the football club and... voice-verified

They've had no stability since 2018-19 when they got rid of Brad Scott. voice-verified

They wanted to improve year upon year. voice-verified

Well, last year they had five. voice-verified

They've got eight this year. voice-verified

And yes, they've cost themselves four or five games, I feel, through inaccuracy and just pressure. voice-verified

Games where they've made mistakes because they haven't been in that situation before. voice-verified

You look at Brisbane Lions in 2018. voice-verified

They lost about seven games by under two goals because they didn't know how to win. voice-verified

and i'll marry that up to what the brisbane or what north melbourne a lot of those players don't know how to win because they haven't been in pressure situations enough so they've won the eight games they've cost themselves three or four games through inaccuracy and not being able to handle the pressure it's an improvement for that football club so the fact that i sit here and say i hear i hear the rumors that he may not coach next year or he's under pressure for his job voice-verified

I can understand why there's no contract extension, which he might want and understand why he wants that. voice-verified
