A last quarter effort against Fremantle slips up 6 points short. Another honourable loss, perhaps for NMFC?

• Shinboner of the week - Hardeman for that goal-saving spoil on the line
• Tackles inside 50 are through the roof!

20 good minutes of footy was enough to dispatch the Eagles in one of the worst games I've seen us win. How do you unpack that?

• Shinboner of the Week - Simpkin for the game-clinching goal
• Larkey and Logue are out of form
• FOS and Kerch starting to develop nicely
• Where has our ability to transition the ball gone?
• Where would we be without Xerri?
• A look ahead to next week against the Dockers

• When will the whole ground defense get better?

• What's wrong with Bailey Scott?
