North haven’t played much at the home of football in recent years, just 8 games at the MCG since the start of the 2019 season. Their most recent visit against the Tigers earlier this season was a success and they have a heap of momentum on their side from their trip to Perth.

Carlton have won 2 in a row but haven’t been that convincing. Their Disposal Efficiency is poor, they allow teams to Rebound into their Forward 50 and are likely to be dominated in the ruck by Tristan Xerri who is at or near the top of all the metrics for Rucks this season.

North will need to play to their advantage against Carlton using the Stoppages and Clearances to stop the Blues attack which will be light on due to injuries. If they can keep it within reach until half time their accuracy in front of goal and talented group of young players will have the opportunity to repeat their efforts from last weekend vs Freo.

Take the Kangaroos to cover and go Over their Team Total. Larkey bounced back last weekend, pick him up for a couple and Caleb Daniel to play his part.

  • The Kangaroos are 5-3 ATS vs Carlton since 2019 and the Blues have covered in just 2 of their last 5 games.
  • North have scored more than 69.5 pts in 4 straight games vs Carlton. 
  • Nick Larkey had 3 goals last weekend and has kicked multiple goals in 8 games this season.
  • Caleb Daniel has reached 25 disposals in 3 of his last 4 games and had 24 in the recent matchup with Carlton.

North Melbourne kept things close with Freo last weekend but failed to capitalise on the Dockers inaccuracy in front of the sticks, going down 73-67 in a home game that was played at Optus Stadium.

The Kangaroos have not been a strong 4th quarter team this season but they recovered from a 28 point deficit to draw within a point in the final term in a very wet encounter on the west coast. 

Harry Sheezel was once again one of the best players on the ground, he gathered 36 touches including 8 clearances and laid 10 tackles in the match. Nick Larkey came back from recording his first duck egg two weeks ago to kick 3 goals for the Kangas.
