WE ALL laughed at North Melbourne over the pre-season when coach Brad Scott said Jarrad Waite’s best footy was ahead of him and Jamie Macmillan said they’d be “shattered” not to play finals in 2018.

But after the Kangaroos stunned Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium to move into the top four, it’s time we give credit where it’s due for what has been an impressive start to the season.

And how good is Ben Brown?

Herald Sun reporters Mick Warner, Jon Ralph and Chris Cavanagh discuss where North Melbourne has been misjudged in this week’s edition of the SuperFooty podcast.

Lindsay Thomas is one of the big talking points after his “disgraceful act” on Scott Selwood, but the AFL’s match review guidelines are also in the gun when it comes to his potential penalty.

Carlton fans can finally see some “green shoots” the club has spoken about and there is plenty of love for emerging young gun Harry McKay.

After predicting two weeks ago the Tigers-Demons Anzac Day eve clash might trump the traditional Anzac Day clash between the Magpies and Bombers for crowd numbers, ticket sales suggest that might not be the case.
