Best Bet
Taking North reluctantly but the numbers make a compelling case.
The Roos have been a different team at Marvel in 2026, going 6-1 outright and against the line. Their only miss at the venue came by just 2.5 points against Essendon in Round 3 after the Bombers kicked the last four goals. They have also been solid against Collingwood, covering in four of five.
The Pies had a decent couple of weeks against Richmond and Gold Coast, scoring 100 in each, but will again miss Isaac Quaynor. North lose George Wardlaw but have enough midfield depth to compensate.
Both O’Sullivan and Simpkin can play defensive roles on Nick Daicos if required. Whether they can slow the little champ remains to be seen.
Take North to remain within three goals.
Same Game Multi
Jordan De Goey averaged 26 touches in his four games before last week’s quieter outing and had 35 the last time these teams met. He also averages 2.6 goals per game in his last five against North.
The Roos have been feeding the ball to McKercher, who has had 28, 25 and 22 in his last three weeks.
Ed Allan is averaging 19 disposals over the last five weeks.
Value Bet
De Goey is in terrific form and has his best career goal average against North Melbourne. He has kicked bags of six and four in his last four games against them and North are the third best match-up for mid-forwards in the competition.
