As good as Melbourne were Thursday night for 2 quarters of footy, North Melbourne pretty much doubled that for a 73pt win and notching up 100pts in game 1 of the season (only 4 league-wide last season - Syd/Bris in round 2, Port/Nth round 3).
It might happen but I'm not really seeing anyone beating them again this year unless there is some dramatic injury bug goes through the entire joint - coaches included!
Across all teams in round 1 they were equal 1st for total disposals (310), equal 3rd for inside 50's (46), equal 1st for disposal efficiency (70%), 1st for goal efficiency (34%), 2nd for uncontested possessions (176), equal 2nd for marks (68) and equal 5th for tackles (61).
All this against a Geelong team who already have an above average list and just brought in premiership coach Mick Stinear from the Dees.
If you're into coaching of any age and gender, then North Melbourne AFLW games are a must-watch as it's footy at it's absolute finest.
