Preview:
A primetime game against Richmond is the last thing North Melbourne need after a horror week in the headlines.
With former coach Brad Scott stepping down, Sydney great Rhyce Shaw has been named as the caretaker for the remainder of the season – an enormous job for the inexperienced 37-year-old.
Shaw will oversee the game plan this week against the Tigers – a huge ask on such short notice, especially against a team that has now won three straight.
Richmond’s 23-point win over Essendon last week sees the Tigers back inside the top four, and as their recent record against North suggests, Richmond are the odds on favourite for a reason.
With Scott at the helm one last time, North turned up for a fight last week against the Bulldogs, pulling away in the final term to win by 25-points. Unfortunately, the Roos haven’t won a game against Richmond since 2016.
Winning the clearance battle will be crucial this week. North and Richmond both rank dead last in clearances this year, but if the Tigers’ inside 50 success against Essendon last week is anything to go by, Richmond should have no trouble putting points on the board if they can find some space.
The Tigers rightfully enter as the favourite this week at Marvel. Richmond are 5-2 straight-up as the away favourite, but considering this game isn’t at the MCG, don’t be surprised if the Roos keep this close.
North is a side that once gave Richmond plenty of problems between 2010 and 2015, and with a perfect 2-0 record against the line as the home underdog, take advantage of a generous looking spread.
