I've calmed sown somewhat since the final siren. In hindsight had several chances to put them away and didn't. Still frustrating that the game ended the way it did.

We've had enough of these moments (this season alone) to not want to go through it again. We've got to remember these moments, remember how much it ****ing hurts, and use it to never have to go through the pain again. Use to put games beyond doubt, so we don't find ourselves in this position again. Use it to fight until the very end.
If we can harness it, and direct our hurt the right way, we'll go far with this group of players.

When Selwood got that free you could almost see what was going to happen. Thats footy. You do make your own luck.
It's all part of the process. It would've been nice to have an Adrian McAdam tonight, but we don't, but we do have the makings of whats going to be a top side and all these little setbacks will make us better.

This season is a character building year for this team. The public & media are now taking north Melbourne seriously, as our style of footy is comparable with the big boys.
its now a massive opportunity for the boys to realize this, and focus on the areas that we can control & improve on. This list CAN be successful, they just need to believe in their talent, and work their arses off on the areas of their game that let them down.
At 3-5, I'm more excited about North Melbourne than I have been for 10 years.

Hoping guys like Macdonald can come straight in a couple of seasons and make an impact like a Viney and Wines have to make us formidable. Also need more from Mackenzie. Don't doubt how crucial drafting will be again end of this year.

There's future seasons - and I guess we can only win a maximum of 17 games this season now. Out we come.
Only Forwards
Just you wait and see
This loss will burn, perhaps more than the EF defeat.
THIS. I'm so angry and devastated at the same time, it's hard to put into words. Thanks, QR, you did it.
We are going places, it's obvious. So many positives from last night. The result was cruel, but as our wonderful coach said, it will be character building.
Thanks mate.
Thanks mate, we need to finish off teams in that situation especially against duck coke you know they are a 4 goal start over there with the umps. Just need more composure when needed.
Agreed. Although the game highlighted the fact that were really need to draft/trade for a super quality winger. Accumulator, fast, endurance and footy smarts.

I'm angry with the fact that what we witnessed last night just makes watching the footy so unenjoyable when the game is officiated in such a blatantly unfair manner. Losing like that is hard enough but you can take it if you genuinely know that the team that got up did it in a fair and deserving manner. Why does this continue to be tolerated?

3- 5 record exact same situation as last season, time to win 9 out of 10 matches
Agreed. Unfortunately for Drew is he's not that big, classy, kick a miracle goal, type forward. He's a workhorse, tries his guts out, but is rarely ever going to be the player who influences a tight game IMO. *Richmond game last year one time he did though.
I don't wanna bash the bloke, but do we expect too much from Dish? He has taken some fantastic grabs over the last couple of years, but I'd just love to see a clutch goal or moment from him. Then again, he ain't buddy or NicNat, guys who just do that impossible thing at the right moment.
Not blaming drew for the loss at all, guess I use want to see someone "rise" when it's time.
Nice thread nice huddle boys.
Remember our dark time last year after the hawthorn match in tassie? It was far darker than this moment
Many we're genuinely questioning the direction of the club. I think we're all on the same page going on the right direction at the moment despite the frustrating results.
I know the patience is excruciating but nothing worthwhile comes easy. Dig in.
North have courage

Same number of games and W/L maybe, but very different situation.
We can't afford to drop anymore games this season if we still have hopes for a top 4 finish. Anyway we were robbed by the umpires in the last quarter with the Aaron Black mark not paid.
