Brings a tear to my eye
Good job north Melbourne
2-15 though….damn
Les go NM
Congratulations for getting your first win of the AFL season North Melbourne
Couldn't see Harley Reid anywhere 🤣🤣🤣 oh that's right he was under pressure last week getting tagged then took his frustration out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Up the Roos 🎉
What a game by Jy Simpkin!
Carn the roos.
Good thing West Coast didn't kick straight. Bad kicking is bad football.
Bro this game ruined my tips😂
North Melbourne the biggest joke 😂🤣
Just shows how pathetic the Eagles really are. Their defenders are clueless down back, not one of them tries to spoil or man up. They all want to take speckies and rack up the uncontested stats…. nobody stays on his man… they all stand around waving their hands guarding ''space'' while unmarked opposition players just walk in goals… Heres a tip, ''Space'' has never won the Coleman medal!! Whoever the the fck their defensive coordinator is should be sacked, they are a legitimate joke in the back half. Seriously, how many of them can be relied on to win a ''one on one'' contest against his direct opponent? Compare that to the 1992 side , Worsfold, Brennan, Macintosh, Jackovich and the rest. The one thing that old side could all do was win a one on one contest with their direct opponent. This current mob dont even know who their direct opponent is!!
Its cool to see the roos finally claim a win! Hopefully they can continue to improve in the future!

BRO I WAS AT THE GAME THE UMPIRING WAS HORRIBLE
Congratulations to the Kangaroo's great win of the year
Congratulations to the Kangaroo's great win of the year
Most disgusting umpiring performance in history, how much the AFL paying these incompetent fools. That decision against Yeo must be the most ridiculous decision ever. One week you can be spun around in a 360 degree circle and the next it’s a blink of an eye. The AFL board need removing.
Lifelong North fan here. Rapt for the win, obviously, but that Q4 free kick against Yeo was just ridiculous.
Good on ya roos
Another great game on Saturday 😱
Tigers win on Thursday night and become 2 wins ahead of North Melbourne….then North Melbourne win on Saturday.
It's so obvious what North Melbourne are trying to do, they want that 18th finish so they can get rewarded with the number 1 draft pick.
Disgraceful decision that cannot be justified on any level.
w's
West Joke Eagles, they’re a disgrace. So are Adelaide.
KANGA KANGA KANGA
ROO ROO ROO
What a bludger of a game that was!!
waiting for the "we didn't have reid" as if its less embarrassing
Flag Roos 2024
Wc fans upset lol
So North win after Richmond win and get 2 games ahead…….and no one is picking up on what North Melbourne are trying to do?
No Reid = No Eagles how embarrassing
robbed infront of my eyes
There is so much I want to say about this game. With 18 minutes and 29 seconds remaining of the game, North Melbourne led by 33 points against a diabolically inaccurate West Coast, but the Eagles needed to dig deep from that point onwards, and they did. They even took the lead, but they blew it. Two goals and FIFTEEN BEHINDS early in the final quarter was very ugly to see and they only fixed their kicking in the final quarter. They should've crushed North Melbourne. That moment when Yeo was penalised for holding the ball? Good call. He dragged the ball back in. I don't want to hear anything about the Eagles getting "robbed" since the AFL gave the green light for that free kick.
Well done to North Melbourne for getting their first win of the season and their first since the final round of the 2023 season. But they choked and somehow still won. West Coast, being the first team to lose to North Melbourne, you need to fix your kicking. You know who would've helped you win? Tim Kelly (injured) and Harley Reid (suspended). Conglaturations. This is also the third consecutive matchup between these two teams to finish in a final margin of LESS THAN TEN POINTS! Is this an unwanted rivalry? F*** you, Spanos.
And Nick Larkey got five goals.
25 shots to 19. and the camera op players carrying on as if they've achieved something. pathetic
Aww man I was hoping I could see north melbourne with a 0/23 season
LOL WET TOAST EPIC FAIL
go freo
You have to get rid of Simpson he's hopeless the Eagles will be on the bottom of the ladder for many years to co.e with hi..They should have sacked him at least 3 years ago.Get rid of him and get Simon Goodwin.At least he will take this pathetic team some where.Sack the board to there bad disicion makes.sticking with Simpson.Bad management. I'll never support this messed up club every again there a disgrace and an embarrassment to wa football.
I am a North supporter since 1976, since i was at Primary school, relieved and happy about the win north had, let's hope they beat Collingwood next week
THEY DID IT
Eagles were bad and kicked themselves out of the game. Didn't deserve to win. But that holding the ball on Yeo. What a mess umpiring is atm.
Congrats on getting the one and only win for the season north
