Here we are - finally speaking after a North Melbourne win! I never thought we would see the day! That winning feeling sure beats losing...but has it cost us a generational mid in Harley Reid?

• 3 stars - Larkey, Phillips, Rowell
• The ball movement was something else - defence to offence with class and speed
• Is Larkey's 71 goal season enough for All Australian?
• Here's hoping the full ground defending is tweaked next year
• A look ahead at what's to come on the podcast over the coming months!
