North Melbourne vs Richmond Preview

With 17th place on the line, North Melbourne and Richmond will clash at Hobart’s Ninja Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Kangaroos are enduring a torrid run, their 133-79 defeat to GWS last week marking a seventh consecutive loss by an average of more than 50 points. Richmond’s struggles continued with a narrow 56-52 defeat to St Kilda at the MCG, their third straight setback.

When the sides met earlier this year, North prevailed 78-74 at the MCG, thanks to Tristan Xerri’s dominance in the ruck and four goals from Cameron Zurhaar. The Kangaroos have claimed three of the past four meetings, making the Tigers one of only two clubs with a losing record against them since 2022. With pride — and the chance to avoid the wooden spoon — at stake, both teams will be desperate to end their losing streak.
