Boom

@AFL Yes amazing, but that pic should be BONTEMPELLI. He didn’t kick all the goals himself, but helped make most of them happen. Immense in the last five minutes when everything was on the line. Heart as big as Phar Lap.

DOGS WIN AN ABSOLUTE THRILLER! #AFLCrowsDogs

@thisisdoogie Couldn’t believe no one on the commentary recognised the next level that bontempelli went to in the last 10 minutes to get the Dogs over the line. Incredible performance.

Bontempelli in these final 4 minutes has been nothing short of sensational. Willing himself to the contest and having influence on this game. The champion rises to the occasion again. Best player in the league.

@davidking34 How good’s the Bont!

How good’s footy!

@ArdenStReview No reason to make a change

Hansen Jnr, Coleman-Jones and Banch added to the extended squad for Sunday's clash with West Coast. Most likely the team stays unchanged after the big Round 1 win. Happy to see Wardlaw and Hardeman given another week to fully recover from their injuries, or would you have pushed for them in the @NMFCOfficial side? #Kangas

@kangamerchant I agree 💯 BOG for mine too. Was best on when the whips were cracking and he stuck at it all game.

Dylan Stephens - what a 30 second patch. Answered the call to up his physicality and accumulation. Hoping for plenty more, BOG vs Port for me.

'Boys to Men'

@ArdenStReview Undoubtedly. BOG or real close to today. Immense.

Special shout out to Dylan Stephens, what a magnificent game! Best game of his career? #Kangas #AFLNorthPort

@NMFCOfficial The man’s gotta get his three snags

Mr Reliable.

Lots of fun, heaps of fun 🎶

@AFL Parker nails one ☝️

Join in the chorus 🦘 #AFLNorthPower

@edithigniteroos @NMFCOfficial Absolutely he did. Head over the ball, wore the contact, made great decisions, super rebound & link up play. And a great goal!

@northbasics @NMFCOfficial He played a great game today

The perfect start to the season in front of our people ✊

@_Daniel_Pell @NMFCOfficial A beautiful change from other Rd1 games I’ve seen in recent times. Not just a win, but a composed performance. Impressive.

What a great game and a HUGE win for @NMFCOfficial!!! A great start to the season. Your thoughts, NMFC-verse?

@FOXFOOTY They looked dangerous, committed, and composed.

ROO BEAUTY 🦘 North Melbourne starts 2026 with a thumping 46-poin win over Port Adelaide. Is this the turning point? #AFLNorthPower ✍️ RECAP bit.ly/4bJ5cDt 🔢 STATS bit.ly/46XZn2l
