Chapter 1: What are the initial impressions of the North Melbourne vs West Coast match?
Shut up, the footies of Triple M. This is Triple M footies mini match of the round. Now, get ready for the first quarter.
It's a North Melbourne home game. Crowd is filling up slowly, hoping that all the West Coast Eagles embrace this game. Rain, hot water, built up for Aussie conditions. When it comes to water heating, ask your plumber to install a rain. To get us underway, here's Tommy Atkinson. Thank you, Lach.
And I reckon there won't be any Eagles goal songs or anything this afternoon because, of course, it's a North Melbourne home game. That's a stupid rule.
Chapter 2: How did the first quarter set the tone for the game?
I was looking forward to some hot potato from a Yowie girl. Yeah. I just saw the intro then. It was all North Melbourne, so a different feel out here. Nice. Barnes-Elder U. And they can charge forward to Kircher. On it goes once again to Blamai as he kicks inside attacking 50. And Jack Darling out on the lead has taken the mark. So he's only about 25 out. Good start to Jack Darling.
Already taken a mark here in his defensive half of the ground. Now inside 50.
They've got six guys that can play inside forward 50. 190 centimetres or above. Wow. Against West Coast they have two tall defenders today. So it could be an issue for the Eagles, Emma's.
He's getting in there really quickly as well. And if North can work together to separate West Coast defenders, then it could be a tough day for the Eagles. Knows this ground very well. Jack Darling, and he's happy with himself. Throws the hands in the air to celebrate. One straight six, North Melbourne. The West Coast Eagles just two behind early in this game.
That's on the Triple M Bunnings Trade scoreboard. Bunnings Trade get tax time sorted with big deals on big brands. He's been a very, very good player, hasn't he? For a long time. Jack Darling.

Chapter 3: What were the standout performances in the second quarter?
That's 572 goals in his career. 16 goals for the season. He's just a very... I'm not sure about the song numbers. What song is it? Jack, Jack, Jackie. Oh, wow. You can see why it's probably Jack, Jack, Jackie. Yeah, Jack, Jack, Jackie. His wife chose it. Jack. Here's Parker having a ripping season. Pumps him deep inside. He gave that away. Tyler Young and Nick Larkey was just ridiculous.
He just got caught out of position, Tommy. And he just grabbed Nick Larkey like he was... Just a silly free kick. Silly one to give away. Nick Larkey picks the goal. And we spoke about it pre-game, members, that Tyler Young admits that Nick Larkey is not a great match-up.
Chapter 4: How did North Melbourne regain momentum in the second quarter?
And they relied so heavily on Ruben Jimby. And the high chance is he won't play again this year. Yeah, well, Jimby's been super for West Coast. He would have been leading there, best and fairest. And he certainly would have had the job. on lucky today so having a replay he just lost eyes on the ball there and you look at his opponent Tyler Young it's
his right arm and just sort of spun it around. It was a really easy free kick to see. Kangaroos home ground and they're doing it well at the moment although through the middle of the 50 is Liam Baker. He kicks towards goal. That's the Eagles first. Good chain of hand passes ended up with the co-captain. 1-3-9 the Eagles. The Kangaroos, 2-3-15 on the Triple M Bunnings trade scoreboard.
Here's Embers for Seabus Super. Well, that was just a bit better around the contest, West Coast. They were a bit stronger and, of course, had to beat Harley Reid. He was the one coming through, makes things happen. And West Coast had set up really well behind that stoppage. And Liam Baker, he finished off.
And it was an important finish off, too, because West Coast have put you a few chances in this first quarter. Sherry tapped it almost to Harley. free kick. Yeah, so Harvey Norman and Rico will pick this up. They just allowed Harley Reid to get front position. You know that he wants to come through the stoppage and just too strong.
And unfortunately, North Melbourne player just lingered in our tackle. So it was Davies Uniak and Harley Reid were bumping off the ball before the ball was kind of thrown up. And then Sherry almost tapped it straight to him. Yeah, he just got around him and then LDU just hung on.

Chapter 5: What tactical changes were made in the third quarter?
So I think he'll run around and snap this Harley Reid. His set shots haven't been great in recent times. He looked like he needed to snap that first one against the Ambers. So he missed the first one, should kick this one. 25 out, almost straight in front. Two steps, bends it for a goal. Must have let LDU know about it as well.
It's gone on like Harley now, but a push of shove too, so a bit of feeling in the game. There's another free kick piece. This is getting out of control, the amount of free kicks in this first quarter. 10 now for North, 7, 8 for the Eagles. That seems like a lot in a quarter. 18. 18. Is that a lot? 18 for the kicks in a quarter? Yeah, they're around there. Just put this away, Jeff.
For about 80, which surely is a lot of free kicks, like. He's high again. Taken high. Has to be. He's a star. Every time you come to the football as an Eagles supporter, you look for hope. And right now, you know, as much as the publicity is big and he gets so much attention over here, there's a reason why. He is a star and he's so good to watch. And it's that man again.
LDU just cocked him high.
And Harley's put the team on his shoulders in the first turn. One, two steps, kicks.

Chapter 6: How did West Coast respond to North Melbourne's pressure?
don't give it away west coast you've got the goal and it's going to go to so jake waterman's yelling at the players not to give it away He's just saying... He's saying, here you go, Hoff, before someone gives away a free kick.
So Brodie Hoff will kick this right in front. He does. And let's see who they go to after this. So plenty of tension in the game. Hardly missed one. Three kick to half got pushed over afterwards. And I reckon they should just let those go, Andy. Surely we don't need off the ball three kicks. Not much in it. They've already paid 18 free kicks in the first quarter. You've got to be very careful.
19 now, Lach. 19. We're heading for a record here. Get the record books out, Beast. This is just out of control. I reckon they'll have a chat with him at quarter time and I bet there won't be many free kicks in the second quarter. When North sold this game, this is exactly what they wanted. 19 free kicks in the first quarter. At least they're calling it down the line, boys. 10-9.
10-9, it's even. Smothered off the boot. Chance maybe for West Coast to get it inside 50, although time might beat them with desperation from the Kangaroos. So to Grossi, threw himself at the footy. Entertaining first quarter. It was a bit spicy. Lacked a bit of action until late in the quarter, but it's the Eagles leading the way there, 3-4-22.
Chapter 7: What were the critical moments leading to the final quarter?
The Kangaroos 2-5-17.
For Ring Hot Water and McDonald's, Triple M Rocks Footy. Shut up, the footies of Triple M. This is Triple M footies mini match of the round.
Now, get ready for the second quarter.
Look at the round of the answer for North today. He's flown over? Yeah, he would have flown over. Yeah, they would have kept the traditional. He just said, let's make some noise. I couldn't hear a pin drop. There's a few ruse fans. Good pressure from Yeo and from Davies Uniak.
he's got a bit caught he didn't see yo coming at him great tackle from the veteran he's um just not uh not there at the moment lde as yo will now kick inside attacking 50 pack or four over the back he fisted it straight into the hands of jake the snake waterman who kicks the goal He won't be frustrated now. He's got one in the second turn, 4-4-28. The Eagles, the Kangaroos, 2-5-17.
That's on the Triple M Toyota Tundra scoreboard. Toyota Tundra ready for everything. Picking one up tomorrow, Lach. All seriousness, yep, I'm picking one up tomorrow morning. I'm dropping the Hilux in for a service, and I've said I need the Tundra, and the Tundra will be delivered. I'm not sure if I'll be giving the tundra back. Jakey Waterman, he's up and about. He's pumped right now.
Bailey goes and gets it. That's a fourth free kick for the quarter already. Tim Kelly breaks away, finds Murdoch out on a heavy lead. Plays on on his left foot. He's got no one at home, but finds a man in the pocket with an absolute blitzing pass. It's that man again. Waterman's marked it hard up against the boundary line. That was a Zach Merritt-type kick, wasn't it? That was a beautiful kick.
Yes, he's been really important, Milan Murdoch, to West Coast. Incredible where he's come from. If there hadn't been an injury at the start of the season, he wouldn't have been even on the list. Just need a couple of things to go your way to get back on track for Jake Waterman. And that's all Jake... Special snap. Couple of goals in a couple of minutes.

Chapter 8: What was the outcome of the match and the key factors that influenced it?
Right on cue for Jake. West Coast all of a sudden lead by 17 points. 5'4", 34. North, 2'5", 17. Sixth goal on second turn. Harvey Norman, some nice technique there from Jake Waterman. That was all set up by Embers by a nice kick from Alain Murdoch. Yeah, he plays a very important role in Murdoch. Not just finding the footy at half forward, but he has some really good shutdown rolls as well.
He had it off to go to just turns and boots it inside attack. And 50, that is a mark and a half from Jack Darling. Big Jack Darling. Strong in a contest. It was four or five around him. Zerhow looked like he might have pushed forward. Lucky was there. He was just so strong. This is what I like.
I really want to see Zerhow play inside 450 because if they can get it in quick, they're really outstretching West Coast defenders right now. The first goal of the game. Jack Darling from 30 outs. He kicks it. A handy one for the Kangaroos with nine remaining to halftime. They charge back here at the Roos. Jack Darling has a couple to his name. And finally, they get a goal in this second term.
And we're desperately in need of a six-pointer. And in the end, Jack Darling delivered their 3-7-25. The Eagles 5-7-37. 12 points to margin. Ream hot water, Bill Taffer, Aussie conditions. When it comes to water heating, ask your plumber to install a heat ream. Here's what's it called. Jack, Jack, Jack. Jack, Jack, Jack.
important goal because as you said West Coast have had a fair bit of momentum a couple of missed opportunities down one end and they've had a pretty good last five minutes North Melbourne starting to get the game played in their forward half with a few entries and just have to be a bit more composed, a really good finish. Back to McKercher. The man by himself, Embersman.
The West Aussie wheels, goes, dialings out the back, should mark, and he does. It's that quick ball, Embers, and they're too tall and too strong for West Coast up forward. Well, McKercher got the one-two. He's the player across halfback at the moment that they're just missing a little bit of running carry from. And they were able to get Link up then and Zerha, he's just a natural forward.
So I think the experiment of him playing back, just forget about it now because they look so much more dangerous when you've got Zerha swinging like that into an open forward line and Jack Darling lining up for number three. Jack, Jack, Jackie. Three. Game 328. Well, 332, actually. 328 to Luke Parker. Darling's got three. He's starring back on his former home deck. 4-8 North Melbourne to 5-7.
West Coast and North putting up some fight late in the second term, Embers. Well, it's got to be the issue for West Coast. If that ball movement comes in and gives out Ari's shoes, he's certainly flying the flag right now for North Melbourne. They just need a few more to go with him through the midfield. That running carry from McKercher, again, really important.
And when you can't put any pressure on ball carrier and they move it as quickly as that, it's putting a lot of pressure on this undermanned West Coast Eagles defence right now. He has it. He looks inside 50, decides to go to about 30 metres out. And it's going to be a free kick. Darling's going to get it. Matchup is killing them, Lach. Starsevich holding on and Jack Darling will get a free kick.
