North Melborune Kangaroos vs Richmond Tigers Preview
The wooden-spoon battle makes its way to Marvel, as the Roos are yet again faced with the prospect of losing or taking a number one draft pick.
For all of Richmonds gloom and doom this year, theyve typically been competitive, and it wasnt too prevalent against the Pies.
North Melbourne has put together some promising performances in the past few months but just dont have the class to do it for four quarters.
Richmonds disposal efficiency and lack of defensive impact to defend turnover has been their downfall whilst remaining competitive around the contest.
This suits North Melbournes style of fast handball chains through the corridor, prioritising deep entries inside 50.
Richmonds dislike of Marvel Stadium also suits the Roos, who havent been beaten by the Tigers at Marvel since 2018.
In such a contest where quality isnt as efficient, it can be as simple as turning it over the least, which is slightly favour of North this year.
Shot efficiency is in favour of the Tigers, so if theyre able to mount some scoreboard pressure early, the doubt will set in quickly for the Roos.
Richmond is 18th for a reason, and even with a big effort, the Roos have built too much to lose the most winnable.
