GWS Giants vs North Melbourne Kangaroos AFL Round 22 Tips - Giants primed to bounce back at Manuka Ova
The GWS Giants are set to bounce back in Round 22 against North Melbourne after a tough 88-point loss to the Bulldogs. Historically dominant against the Kangaroos, the Giants aim to leverage key returns like Toby Greene and strong performances from players like Lachie Whitfield and Stephen Coniglio. Despite a marginal improvement last week, North Melbourne continues struggling against top teams. Key players such as Nick Larkey are back, but defensive frailties persist. Experts suggest a comfortable win for the Giants, with Riccardi likely to score multiple goals.

GWS return to Manuka Oval and will shake off a disappointing loss to the Bulldogs, reigniting their top-eight momentum against a struggling North Melbourne side.
The Giants had won six straight prior to last week’s 88-point slip-up and boast a dominant record over the Kangaroos, winning their last three head-to-heads by an average of 29 points.
With Toby Greene returning from suspension and the likes of Lachie Whitfield and Stephen Coniglio in strong ball-winning form, the Giants should generate plenty of attacking chains from their high-disposal game.
North Melbourne showed some improvement in last week's nine-point loss to St Kilda but have lost six in a row and continue to struggle against top-eight sides.
Colby McKercher and Harry Sheezel continue to rack up possessions, and Nick Larkey’s return up forward is a positive, but their leaky defence and inability to sustain four quarters remains a major issue.
Take the Giants at the 40+. Stephen Coniglio can pick a confidence booster as he progresses from his return from injury, while Jake Riccardi looks set for multiple goals.
- North Melbourne have lost their past three matches against top eight sides by 49 points or more
- The Kangaroos have conceded 119 points per game in their past six matches
- Jake Riccardi has kicked eight goals from his past three matches against the Roos
- Stephen Coniglio has averaged 30 disposals from his past three matches against North
Head to Head
