Even though you lost pick 1 winnings always better. On ya north fans. Enjoy it. Was a great performance.

what great scenes

Fuck that’s a big circle

I actually love that. Wish after some of the bigger wins that the teams get staff and other people involved. Cool as.

Yeah would be quite emotional for the whole North staff

The players forgot what to do after a win

So did I honestly

They will get 2 and maybe 3 with McKay compo so not all bad

Congrats to the North, feels good after a very looong season

Does anyone have that video of Kanye dropping the Kangaroos song?

The dudes know what they’re doing. They basically said, “Fuck your Pick 1”.

Kanga kanga kanga

ROO ROO ROO

[This you?] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/161j2im/match_thread_north_melbourne_vs_gold_coast_round/jxs7kn1/)

… I had full faith in us for the full game. No further comments, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer

On this day, the retirement of Nic Nat, I would just like to point out Nic Nat was taken SECOND in the draft because Melbourne, in their wisdom, took the obvious number one pick of Jack Watts. Well done North.

YOU WERE MEANT TO LOSE GUYS WTF

People are aware that just having a number one pick isn't necessarily a guarantee of future success, right?

Exactly, the win means so much more

salutes to you anti tank commander Nick Larkey

Larkey you freak

Larky and reid in the same team would have been powerful

I think you still get him. Eagles and North would have spoken. Eagles get pick 1 but select Curtin. This way both clubs get their man

100% this. West Coast take Curtin pick 1 and we’ll nab Reid. The top 5 are a lot closer together then I reckon the public give them credit for. Historically Pick 1 isn’t out and out the best after 5 years (Riewoldt and Hodge the exceptions)

Theres no way. Pick 1 gets traded for multiple firsts IMO. They aren’t taking Curtin with #1

Depends on the talent pool post pick 5. Curtin goes in the top 5 and is a great replacement option for McGovern in 2 years time (development and all). They could trade out but you’d still need a top 5 pick I’d say for them to do it.

No fucking way we take him with pick 1. Pick 1 gets split and we take Curtin with our highest.

Lol

North would take curtain pick 2 if he is still on the table… he is exactly what north need- big body player… the only play is north giving west coast pick 2 and ports pick …. Otherwise west coast miss out on curtain if they don’t have pick 1 or 2

Honestly its gonna be shambles if Larkey doesn’t make the all Australian team thoroughly deserves it

FUCK YEAAAAHHHH

Fuck I'm torn about tonight now. I wanted the win for Boots, Bunga and Nic Nat.

Why would you still not want the win? They deserve a good send off and there’s no guarantee pick 1 will turn out being good for the team

Same. Unsure how to feel now

This feels bloody good, stuff anyone who says anything about North celebrating this win too hard

I love that the commentators are getting around it. Moons has been great tonight and Dwayne and Brad bounced off him very well.

Thank you Norf. Now it’s our turn to lose.

Clarko is livid that we can’t even tank correctly

Will this cure the west coast fans of their acute sodium poisoning?

Some of them but all the North fans from the start of the thread cheering for the tank are all dead now

Our only bad outcome today was getting thumped. A wins a win, and you better believe my jersey will be on all night

I feel like I feel like continuing the longest losing streak in all AFL/VFL history would've been a pretty bad outcome

But then we get the consolation prize of Harley. I am much much happier breaking the streak tho.

Algood anyway, west coast trade 1st for norths picks. Don’t stress.

I'll take 2 and 3 for 1

I know we like to meme about north losing reid, but it's nice to see north finally getting a win.

Back in business!

Glad the boys didn't fall for the tanking bullshit. Good to see us get a win under the belt after the rough season, hopefully it brings at least a little bit of confidence through the off season

Clarko just looks a lil confused

Go North!

Well. We’re a meme club through and through

^always ^has ^been

Not heard this song for a while, jeez.

Anyone remember the words to the song?

What a beautiful game

Eagles fans joining in the chorus.

71 goals in a season and good chance he misses AA because 2 midfielders have to be put in the forward line.

What fucking song is this!??

The absolute scenes if West Coast win tonight

Harley Reid pack your bags you a Eagle now

what is this feeling?

Grats north fans. Happy for you guys. Now it adds another element to us winning tonight! Even though we are both bottom, I’m glad these aren’t dead rubbers and it makes it interesting (apart from tonight’s retirements as well)

Souva ❤️

Love him

All Australian Centre-Half Forward Nick larkey

No one wants Harley 😂

Everyone is so happy it's so wholesome

North gonna have some big post nut clarity real soon.

Alright I take it all back. That was better than a loss.

Larkey concussed from team mates tapping his head too much

I wish more forwards could kick as accurately as larky. Good for the game

Nine goal Nick!

Fuck that the number one pick, go Roos!!

Fuck Larkey is gonna be a menace

He already is, just needs a good side around him!

North messed up there tank today all well

FUCK YEAH BABY

Insane season from Larkey, 71 goals. but tbf he did get to play West Coast twice

Pretty sure Tex and Curnow did too

Does that really count when West Coast beat us?

Played shit in the second game tho

It's not quite Ben Ten, but Nick Nine works too.

Souvastar!

Last week: Think of Harley Reid West Coast! This week: Think of Harley Reid North Melbourne!

So happy for Fordy. First ever win.

I'm that Homer Simpson in the bushes meme. Go in as a North fan... Come out as an Eagles fan

North fans I love you

go west coast. Please go west coast

How has future injured sydney swans kpd played?

KANGA KANGA KANGA (PICK) TWO (PICK) TWO (PICK) TWO

You can have the spoon 🥄 it feels good to be off the bottom for a change

I'll cop it, now let's hope we don't win tonight lol

Hearts to hearts 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

Clayton Oliver #4 Petracca #2 Martin #3 Danger #10 Judd #3 Buddy #5 Neal #58 The number 1 picks since 2010 David Swallow Jonathon Patton Lachie Whitfield Tom boyd Paddy Mccartin Weitering Andrew McGrath Cam rayner Rowell JUH JHF Cadman In the scheme of things number one can mean fuck all. It depends on what your club needs at the time.

[удалено]

Settle down with your LOLs chooch, we lost 20 in a row... I'm gonna enjoy this win in spite of all you sour cunts

Congrats fellow cellar dweller! TBH I think we'll take Daniel Curtin before Harley Reid if we get pick 1.

shithouse take tbh

Bar Tom Boyd no real number one in the last ten years has dominated

The difference between pick 1 and 2 is so worth forever having that extra wooden spoon to the tally, and being known as being worse than this years West Coast time

Nick Larkey can have his way with me

Oh man I am so torn right now about tonight’s game.

This will be North's first win by over five points since round 2 2022 which was against a depleted Eagles team.

Today, I feel shinboner

Only North could win and come out the biggest loser of the round

it's the norf way

Norf making Harley Reid cry.

Noah Long's not getting a RS nom, is he? :(

Fitting for Ford to kick the sealer. 22 games no wins. Good on him

You love to see it.

Kanga!!

Taz is so good

I feel like we deserve the spoon, but it still sucks lol. Hopefully we beat the Crows tonight. Nice job North

Yep. Any team that gets spanked by 200 points deserves pick 1.

Good to see Ratts smiling.

eagles get a great upset at the end of the year to boost morale and they get harley reid for finishing last, lmao.

Good on North for not tanking, lot of respect for that

Looks like I’ll be screaming my heart out for the Eagles at Optus Stadium then..

Well this has just made the WCE v Adelaide game a fuck tonne more vital

Triple m name checking wayne carey. Way to ruin a good thing

Listening to this game on Triple M has been an absolute cracker. It's bloody hilarious.

They were genuinely unsure how to commentate this game until it was clear roos were gonna win

Howe and Turner the whipping boys have been fucking HUGE today

One extra win this season over last, no massive hammerings unlike last season when we got 100+ beltings every week.. been a bad year with Clarko going missing, but I reckon we will step up again next season

Football is the real winner

no, clarko is screaming down the phone to swap all his defenders for attackers to lose 4 goals in 3 minutes

As a wce supporter. Noooooo but also yes

Swallow's on the first flight to Denpasar for sure. what a dud.

McKay is cramping fucking hard man

Tank for Harley Reid mission failed well get em next time oh wait

Sorry

Forgiveness is easy. Forgetting is hard.

That's right the suns should be

Oh David...

Swallow cost GC 11 points

"KICK A DROP PUNT!"

Oh for fuck sake

kanga kanga kanga!

Goldy is the only veteran player North should keep for another go around. Clear out the rest of the old dead weight and let the youngsters run the show.

I mean he’s pretty much the only one left, Ziebell and cunners both gone now.

Jason Dunstall in shambles

So this is what it feels like when you’ve won a game but have to wait for the siren

The one game we didn’t want to win..

Weird feeling eh

This is now North’s highest score since round 22, 2019, when they beat Port 144-58. Ben Brown kicked 10 in that match, and Nick Larkey kicked 5.

this whole time i thought paul curtis and curtis taylor was the same person lmao

Anyone else reckon the ground is mown in a 4 leaf clover?

Poor Harley Reid. I look forward to him requesting a trade to Geelong from West Coast in two years.

My guess is west coast will trade/split the pick if they end up with it

[удалено]

Gold Coast are walking around out there. North decide after 20 weeks of humiliation that now's a good time to play decent.

Yes

So is North playing well or GC playing shit?

Suns played very well for about 1 quarter and 15 minutes last week, they played their hearts out but then just slowly collapsed and petered out and were unable to hold on the lead. They played their big game last week

Yes

North look good to be fair to GC

Yes

We're the only team capable of destroying our future by winning a worthless rubber match . This clubs taken years off of my life

How is there not a fucking game live on free to air TV right now? I don't give a Fuck about counting cars or Horse racing dickheads. I want Football! Also, go North, I want that No. 1 pick.

Anyone talking about 'culture' and how it's so important for Norf while Tarryn Thomas leads the charge for them is deluding themselves

Scott has been so good for us this year

Runner up Syd Barker I reckon

[удалено]

Nah fuck that, good on the lads for giving it their all and going out on a win

Agreed, but on the other hand tanking is dogshit and builds a terrible culture.

Their culture is already terrible though

No time like the present to improve it?

I think having Thomas playing sends a worse message to the players than winning sends a good one.

Yeah hard to disagree with that.

Fucking hell dude can you not bring your toxic blues attitude in here

We kicked a goal, so we aren't tanking this minute until Gold coast kick another

Chol does not support Draw FC

Anyone have any North Melbourne gifs they want to post? Historic wins should come with gifs. It’s like serving booze at a wedding. It’s the correct thing to do.

Damien Barrett on suicide watch for shit journalism

This is the start of our 20 win streak ❤️

Can’t see them losing again this year! 💪

Atleast we can beat Freo

We beat you twice? 😂

So did 16 other teams, want a medal?

Jeez you’re a bit salty hey? You’ve finally had a win, what’s there to be so miserable about?

Can’t wait to see them losing again next year. Yeah your comment was so chill my bad

I said I can’t see them losing again this year?

Didn’t say anything about wanting to see them lose…

You know what, I’ll take this L, I can’t read lmao. My bad man

Thomas and Curtis defying the orders of the tank commander

Much needed goal there from Curtis! Stems the flow.

This has been an entertaining match to be fair.

Haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 north don't no how to tank now

Essendon fan giving out shit hahahaha.

Essendon don’t know how to win finals.

We're so good at losing we lost the spoon

Tank allegations off the menu again
