The title sums today’s post up. It isn’t a game where plenty of positives can be found.

A week after an impressive win at Marvel Stadium, there were more positive signs for North Melbourne at Adelaide Oval.

North Melbourne kicked six goals in the first 6:16 of final quarter game time on Sunday.

Today’s post has little to do with the Hawthorn game specifically and is more of an overarching look at 2024.

With 2:18 remaining, North Melbourne led by 13 points with a stoppage just outside their forward 50.

Late season games like Saturday at Marvel Stadium are always tricky to draw conclusions from.

The reaction to Saturday’s game was strange. To me, at least.

You dedicate an entire section in last week’s post to the benefits of a settled structure and then it changes at the next possible opportunity.

After five promising weeks since returning from the bye, North Melbourne had their reality check at the SCG.
