’s 27 disposals for 576 metres gained in his 227th consecutive appearance. That result looks even more impressive when considering Nick Daicos (15 disposals) was tagged out of the contest before being subbed with a leg injury.

Meanwhile, North Melbourne was finally a winner last weekend, breaking its duck in 2024 by upsetting West Coast 74-65 at Optus Stadium behind Jy Simpkin

’s five-goal performance.
The Kangaroos have won just three of their last 34 matches and none of those victories have come in Melbourne, including 14 straight losses at Marvel. One of those defeats came against Collingwood by a 105-70 scoreline in Round 11, 2023 despite another five-goal haul from Larkey.



Recent Form:

Drum roll please… the Kangaroos have finally ended their long wait for a win with a 74-65 upset against Eagles with some fine individual performances

The Pies have been in stellar form, remaining unbeaten in nine of their last ten games, including a convincing 89-51 victory over Melbourne on the King’s Birthday.

Fortunately for me the rain earlier in the week has meant a shuffling of junior footy game venues and start times (due to waterlogged grounds) and Toes Jnr’s game, previously starting at 11.30am, is now kicking off at 10.00am. We can now do the junior footy/North game double.

It’s a sign!

We're unbeaten against Collingwood this year. Let's make it 2-0.

North by 43.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Autopsy thread will be created and full of melts by half time, I’m afraid. WCE win was fun for sure, but we were pretty fortunate and the pies are a different class. Hope we’re just compete, show signs like last week, and not get blown away.

 

[Disco Dew]

Hope we’re just compete, show signs like last week, and not get blown away.

Honestly all I look for each week.
Just want the boys to show up and have a crack

 

[Samsquanch]

Hopefully, none of my contingent forgets their train ticket today as the bacon sangos that were promised as compo for having to drive back to get the ticket are tasty.

And obviously, the win.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Can all of you who are the game please cheer extra loud for me, for today’s team and the 1999 coach and players.

I will be watching at the beach and hoping to see the pressure of last week against a team that operates at that level week in week out. A win would be unbelievable, let’s see what we can do.

[Rooniversity]

My usual game-time 'how to look like you're undergoing an exorcism' will have to be curtailed a bit in public at the game today.

Actually looking forward to it!

C'mon, North!

 

[NmClarko]

Standing room tickets only available left. Is today's game reserved seating in General admission?

I have a flexi membership and hoping I can scan my mates and I in.

 

[shinboner magic]

Bring that same pressure and smash them in the middle like we did last week.
I have a good feeling about this one
