Best Bet
If North have legitimately improved in 2026, they should win this by a lot.
Richmond have covered in just one of five games this year and lost by an average of 43 points. They arrive without Toby Nankervis, Tom Lynch and experienced midfielder Jacob Hopper, and will field 13 players under 50 games against seven for the Roos. The six players named in their forward line have kicked a combined 118 career goals. This is a depleted and inexperienced outfit.
North should dominate around the ball. They rank in the top six for clearances and scores from stoppage while Richmond sit in the bottom four for both. The Roos have also covered in seven of eight games at Marvel against the Tigers.
Back them to win big.
Same Game Multi
Key forward goals and half-back disposals are the two strongest angles against Richmond.
Nick Larkey has bags of five and six in his last three games against the Tigers, while Cam Zurhaar averages 3.2 goals per game from his last five against them. The Tigers simply cannot contain quality key forwards.
The Roos share the ball well across half-back. Colby McKercher and Caleb Daniel should both fill their boots.
Value Bet
Larkey loves playing Richmond. He has kicked bags of five and six in his last three games against them and the Tigers have conceded four or more goals to a forward in four of their five games this season.
