North Melborune Kangaroos vs Richmond Tigers Preview

In the wooden-spoon clash at Marvel, North Melbourne and Richmond face off with the number one draft pick in sight. Despite Richmond’s struggles this season, they’ve been competitive, though not against the Pies. North Melbourne has shown some promise but lacks the consistency to sustain it over four quarters.

Richmond’s issues with disposal efficiency and defensive lapses fit well with North’s fast, handball-heavy style and deep entries into attack. Marvel Stadium has been a stronghold for the Roos, who haven’t lost to the Tigers there since 2018.

While Richmond’s shot efficiency could make a difference if they can apply early scoreboard pressure, North Melbourne’s superior turnover management gives them the edge in this low-quality battle. The Roos should capitalize on this opportunity to secure a win.
