In one of the most bizarre afternoons of football in terms of build up, North Melbourne knocked over the Western Bulldogs to give Brad Scott a nice segue out of coaching.
The Dogs welcomed the Lions to rural Victoria and sent them back to Brisbane without the four points, rebuilding their season in the process, one win at a time.
The Bulldogs played the role of spoiler and played some of their best footy of the year in the third quarter, coming from behind to down the Kangaroos.
