North Melbourne lost to Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, a disappointing result. Collingwood took a late lead, confirming their dominance to win the game, that night. The Kangaroos left Ben McKay out, limiting their rotation but still, although they tried could not keep up with the faster play, that proved too swift. Nick Larkey struggled from the start, looking out of sorts. He missed his first three shots, failing to hit the goal before the end, before half-time. His misses meant North couldn’t get enough points, ending any chance of a comeback to stay in the game, with minutes left. The loss ends any hope of a win, snuffing out any chance, for a win. Supporters left feeling let down, disheartened by the performance, after the performance, with a heavy heart.
