Richmond are still searching for answers and this shapes as a tough outing again.

Best Bet: North Melbourne Kangaroos -25.5

How this game shapes up

North Melbourne are starting to show genuine improvement and this is a matchup that suits them perfectly.

They’ve already proven they can expose Richmond, winning the last three meetings and doing so comfortably. Their ability to move the ball cleanly and generate repeat entries has been a major factor in that success.

Richmond, on the other hand, are struggling across the board. Their ball movement lacks fluency and they’ve found it difficult to convert opportunities even when they do get forward.

That becomes a major problem against a side like North who are growing in confidence and should be able to control large periods of this game, particularly at Marvel Stadium where conditions favour their style.

Best Bets

North Melbourne Kangaroos -25.5

North look the stronger side across most areas and should be able to generate enough scoring chances to build a winning margin.

Nick Larkey 4+ Goals

Larkey has been a consistent threat and has a strong record against Richmond. With expected supply, he is well placed to hit the scoreboard heavily.

What could go wrong?

The main risk here is complacency. North are still developing and haven’t consistently put teams away, so there’s a chance Richmond hang around longer than expected.

Richmond’s effort hasn’t always matched their results, and if they bring sustained pressure, they could limit scoring for periods.

Which probably means North need to stay switched on for four quarters.
