North Melbourne’s win in the final round of the 2023 AFL season is looking increasingly worse for the club.
AFL great Matthew Lloyd has put North Melbourne in the spotlight over a mistake that will haunt the club for years to come.
The equation was simple, lose and you were guaranteed Reid, the unanimous first pick in the draft who was widely considered a superstar-in-waiting. “This bloke has had an unbelievable effect on that whole footy club,” Craig Hutchison said about Reid.Lloyd said he’d never been one to argue for a club to tank, but with Reid the writing was on the wall for North and they butchered it.
“I have been adamant and against that but I still think to myself, for one win versus catapulting your club up the ladder … I’ve never thought this way in my whole life until I’m seeing what Harley Reid is going to do for West Coast for the next 15 years,” Lloyd said.Cornes said the injection of Reid into the Eagles has once again made them relevant while the round 24 win has made North Melbourne “irrelevant”.
