North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Brisbane Lions Preview
North Melbourne’s stirring comeback win over Carlton has injected belief into a side eager to prove its finals credentials. The Kangaroos’ attacking flair was on full display, but they now face a Brisbane outfit coming off a commanding 54-point win over Collingwood. Will Ashcroft starred with 36 disposals in a midfield masterclass, reinforcing the Lions’ depth. Despite Brisbane’s dominance in this matchup, including multiple Gather Round wins over North, last year’s draw between the sides serves as a reminder the gap may be closing. If the Roos can match Brisbane’s midfield intensity, this could be tighter than expected.
