The Stephenson for Phillips sub was diabolical.

[@kyronfurlong3617]

worst sub i've ever witnessed phillips was doing so well on daicos

[@stevelozevski8151]

Agreed

[@HorizonOfHope]

Stephenson is a forward, too. You don’t need more scoring when up by 6 goals at 3/4 time.

[@petemac3964]

100%. Have a strong feeling he doesn’t rate Phillips a whole lot

[@bdawg3942]

Na, being that far in front and losing was

[@DJKL33N]

Whoever's idea to sub Stephenson on for Phillips, needs to take that game upon themself. The one person we could not let get on a roll was Daicos and in the first half he didn't have nearly as much impact. He was the reason they won and taking Phillips off was the reason we lost.

[@bruce4130]

Fatigue is a factor, look at the scoreboard from half time and last quarter! Big lead lost again!

[@bruce4130]

Not a big factor? They blew a big lead, that’s the team! One guy may have held back one player, but look at the whole team letting the lead fall away!

[@bruce4130]

It’s 4 quarter, not 3! Learn to play to the death as Clarko said! 11:15

[@mspanebianco1]

Agreed, not sure how Stephenson is getting a game. Has done a few things but the mistakes cost you games. He doesn’t look fit enough and up to the task

[@tubester4567]

Norf deserved to win but we were a little unlucky at the end. We had multiple chances to win. Norf are definitely improving.

[@imalwaysright]

Even in the final minutes, had opportunities. Cleaner execution and better decision making, Norf win that game.

[@spartacus-gw3fc]

9 goals up and still lost not ood enough remember ts Collingwood the close game specialist

Didn’t deserve anything champ. Not good enough.

Honourable loses now ? 😕

[@Spartan902]

You were 54 points up. No excuse for that loss. Thank goodness I am not a Nth Melbourne supporter.

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

Ah you sound upset magpies won another tight one dude here's a tissue cry cry and cry 😊

[@KingLJKingston]

Collingwood are very good in close matches, north have had at least 5 to 6 games in the last two years where they were up by at least 20 points at three quarter time. They lost all of them by under 10 points. All it is, is they can’t complete the win.

[@rowannicholson8109]

JS is the ultimate tanking tool 🔥

[@katherine.anne_87]

Heartbreaking 😫💔

[@HorizonOfHope]

Pretty sure Clarko cost them the game with that sub choice. Daicos was having an okay but far from brilliant match. That loss of a tag let him run circles around them thereafter.

[@moalerivu2139]

Winning close games is the hallmark of the Pies under McRae

[@devilwarr1or]

As is umpires looking after the pies with a minute to go... amazing how often it happens.

[@archie4822]

@@devilwarr1orjust don’t choke a 50 point lead 😭🤷‍♂️

[@moalerivu2139]

No excuses, please. They were 54 points up at three-quarter time, so blaming the umpire is pathetic.

[@devilwarr1or]

@mjames4709 when even neutral fans are calling out the bs from that game you know something up. Care to comment on Bailey Scott's non 50 metre penalty? If it was Nick daicos the umpire would have given him 3 of them and reported the North players.

[@bruce4130]

A bunch of young inexperienced players playing the experienced 2023 premiership team tells you something about both sides!

Roos will learn a lot from the loss . The future is looking good .

Half a 2023 premiership side. But you guys did very well and hope you win a lot more games this year 👍🏻

[@caner78bob]

Yeah roos are flops

[@allanbrown4802]

i hope your ok coach

[@anthonypirera7598]

Hang in there just need to sharpen your skills a little bit more

[@6jordy6]

going to be a good side in time

[@InTheOuter]

Put your hand up and say you fkd up Clarko. To say it has no bearing on the result is a joke. I'm concerned it you truly cant see it.

[@tb7667]

I am not sure what was a worse decision. The 50m penalty at the end, or taking Phillips off and letting Daicos run riot.

[@bruce4130]

The losing team has all the credit for pride and having a go!

[@Comatosedpeanut]

Xerri kicking a goal for throwing himself over a fence has to be up there. Was putrid 😂

[@gfunkera]

I think the worse thing was not defending a nine goal lead

[@mjames4709]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@paulduggan7183]

Surely Phillips should have got the first 10 minutes

[@timmcgrath9708]

Collingwood supporter here. How is a fresh Stevenson better than a quiet Daicos??

[@smact1]

Has any team kicked 18 and 2 at 3/4 time this year?

North did, they still lost

Yep

No, good accuracy

Death knock doesn't make sense in the context he's used it

[@splashon7]

Textbook Tanking. No repeat of 2023 will be tolerated after watching Harley dominating.

[@MrMooremelody]

I reckon Clarke was tanking by subbing off Phillips. It was suspiciously bad.

[@imalwaysright]

Looking forward to all the pundits that trash Norf for not tanking-for-Harley slam Clarko for subbing Will off 🙃

[@brobros4950]

In the lap of the gods????

[@jarrah1364]

North can be proud of the efforts they put in whereas collingwood are ones that need to do some soul searching. Dropping that tag on daicos was a horrible decision, too.

[@mjames4709]

Norf: AFL grifters.

[@Simon_Says_95]

I thought my Eagles were going bad... You should never lose a game after leading by 54 points! Yes, the Umpiring was terrible again but the Roos put themselves in that position. Clarko can't keep using youth as an excuse.
