Season 10 is done and dusted and it was a whitewash really with the dominance of North Melbourne.
The Roos went 12-0 with a % of 321.5 in the regular season and then backed that up in the finals going 3-0 with a % of 262.
Dare we add that they were missing 2 of their starting 18 in Mia King and Nicole Bresnehan not being available through injury.
It's hard to see them not winning 3 on the trot or more at this point as they'll just keep adding top free agents where needed until the AFLW payment structure is changed.
The Lions were the 2nd best team in it this year but it just shows the chasm between North and the 2nd best - in their 2 games this year it was cumulative score of 121 - 48.
North Melbourne's depth is immense and it was THE difference in this game as I alluded to in this tweet:

All that being said it's not like Brisbane were never in it - they were +5 for inside 50's even though they were -13 for clearance so they were able to move the ball through the North defense but watching the game you could clearly see that major issues with their method of going inside forward 50.
Today we look at:
- Brisbane Forward Press Defense
- North Melbourne Forward Press Defense
- North Melbourne Going Inside Forward 50
- North Melbourne Creating/Utilising the Outnumber Advantage
- Brisbane Going Back to the Numbers in Defensive Half
- Brisbane Forward Half Intercept
