What a dreadful game. The first quarter was dismal so after that, I watched Where the Wild Things Are instead. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the Lions had forged a comeback. The final quarter became a nail-biter with the Lions finally leading in the final two minutes of play... until North Melbourne kicked another goal to win by one point. There were some terrible umpiring decisions.
