How did the match kick off and who were the early key moments?
Shut up! The footy's on Triple M! This is Triple M footy's mini-match of the round. Now, get ready for the first quarter.
Alright, we're ready to go here on Friday Night Football. Collingwood taking on the Kangaroos here. Brett Roseberry, Jacob Mollison, Peter Bales and Martin Roger, or Roger Martin, whichever way you want it. He's holding the ball aloft and we're ready to go. Perfect night under the lid. Cool outside. Beautiful knockdown to David Zuniak. He was tackled immediately by Allen. Bales balls it up again. Sherry able to knock it down in the path there. Socket off the ground. Picked up by Josh Dacos coming off the square at the halfback. Munger is at the half forward and Zerhar gets underneath and takes a nice mark for the Kangas at halfback.
Spending more time as the defender now. That's an interesting handball from a Kircher. He's got some work to do. darts his way through and then spears a low ball into the middle that was dropped by Josh Dacos. Nick's there for support. Took on two tacklers and turns it over. Pounced on by Davies Uniak. Nice little step inside. He's got Larkey on his own. 15 out almost directly in front. That was silky.
It didn't start well, did it, Chew? As soon as McKercher kicked that ball and it went to Josh Dacos, he sat up in his chair thinking, what's happened there? But a very uncharacteristic fumble from Dacos. And they end up going inside forward 50 and getting a shot on goal, Chew.
This is big for Nick Larkey at early. His last three games has kicked three goals eight. And the ideal start for North Melbourne on the big stage. He stabs at it and smashes it into the post. Wow.
That's the yippity-yips.
He's got like someone that's kicked three goals eight.
I mean, he does just poke them usually, but normally they go straight over the goal umpire's head.
Beautiful kick back into play. Main arm was there. No mark paid because it was touched off the boot long in the middle of the ground. Gave the handball to Josh Dacos. His second entry inside 50 already. Look at the bullet pass to Schultz on the lead. And that is picture-perfect football for the black and white. Schultz will get a look from 35.
Great transition by the Pies. Just a couple of match-ups. Still very early, but it looks as if Ed Allen is going to go to Luke Davies-Uniak because he is a star, Davies-Uniak. And if you know Sullivan, he's going to Jordan Degoe, not Nick Dacos. So that looks like a tag, which means Nick is going to run around head-to-head against Harry Sheasel.
We saw Larkey at the other end, not so accurate. Well, this man is accurate. 14.6 so far this year from set shots. Lockie Shorts, 35, 40 metres out directly in front. Kick on the way to goal. So Collingwood get the first after the Kangas squander a simple one. And they lead one straight to one behind on the Triple M Totally Workwear scoreboard.
Not typically a team that we see blistering ball movement from in the last sort of, I guess, 12 months really when they've started to play a little bit more defensive Collingwood. But that was quick. Got the ball from that kick in. Bit of a set play, you think, with the line that Braden Maynard was running away from the kicker. Put it out to space. Wasn't perfect, but they had runners all the way through the middle of the ground. And if Josh Dacos is going to be let just to sit on that halfback line on his own, Could have already had three touches, spilt that one mark, but has been involved in everything.
Davey Zuniak, neat little ball here to Trembath, who marks in the middle, plays on with a handball to Sheasel. Sheasel right foot kick inside to Curtis, should mark. And he will get a look from 35 to 40 metres out on a very slight angle.
I like this aggressive ball movement from North Melbourne to start this game. We saw it late in the game against Port Adelaide when it was basically we need to score and we need to score in a hurry. But I love that they've started this way. Too much of their ball movement this year has been lateral or even backwards. So they're finally kicking forward and getting a handball received.
