North Melbourne has pulled off the most improbable win in recent AFL history, defeating Hawthorn by seven points after being down by 32 points in the second quarter and winless through the first eight rounds of 2021.
David Noble has stamped his credibility with not only his first win, but an incredible coaching performance to turn around Hawthorn’s high press and get his Roos slicing through the Hawks defence in the second half.
The lightbulb flicked after half time for North Melbourne, despite the Hawks getting the first of the third quarter, as they romped home with the next six goals and eight of the last eleven.
