To be fair, though NB we were missing half of our starting 6 mids: Walsh, Kennedy & Acres. That tilted the midfield contests which was particularly important to North as they’re trying to implement a game-plan of running in waves using handball until they have a short kick to a loose forward inside F50 or a running kick at goal. Sure, losing their 2 key defenders helped us in our area of strength, but I’m guessing North felt the outs for us in the midfield outweighed their loss of 2 defenders.
On the other hand, the injury to Larkey really stuffed North up. He usually chops us up but the injury reduced him to a witches hat.
