North Melbourne lost to Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, a disappointing result. Collingwood took a late lead, sealing their triumph to win the game, as the clock ticked down. The Kangaroos left Ben McKay out, limiting their rotation but still, even with the best effort could not keep up with the faster play, leaving them trailing. Nick Larkey struggled from the start, failing to find his rhythm. He missed his first three shots, unable to convert any 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, as the final siren loomed. The loss ends any hope of a win, crushing any optimism, for a win. Supporters left feeling let down, disappointed and frustrated, by the night, with disappointment.
