Payne continues North’s strong quarter<\/p>\n
Geordie Payne drills a tough set shot to put the Roos back in front!<\/p>\n
It’s been quite the reversal of fortunes in front of goal for North this quarter after being unable to hit the side of a barn in the first.<\/p>\n
The numbers continue to build against Richmond. The inside 50 count reads 22-13 North’s way, and they’ve also got an 18-12 lead in the clearances.<\/p>\n

Rioli with a bit of magic to spark Tigers<\/p>\n
Oh this is brilliant from Maurice Jr!<\/p>\n
The Tigers have been up against it so far this quarter, but are finally able to go inside 50.<\/p>\n
Tom Lynch is the target, as expected, and he’s able to bring the ball to ground.<\/p>\n
Rioli gets on the end of a handball and converts the checkside beautifully on his right boot.<\/p>\n
Lynch now has five contested marks for the match.<\/p>\n
11m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 4:01amKangaroos believe Zurhaar has hurt his ankle, not his knee<\/p>\n
Fox Footy’s coverage reporting that the Kangaroos believe Cam Zurhaar has hurt his ankle, rather than his knee in that tackle at the start of the quarter.<\/p>\n
That would be a much better result for the Roos.<\/p>\n
Fingers crossed, we’re hoping for the best possible news for Cam!<\/p>\n
He’s now on the Kangaroos bench with some crutches alongside him.<\/p>\n
14m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:58am<\/p>\n
Whitlock officially subbed on for Zurhaar<\/p>\n
Cam Zurhaar is done for the day with Matt Whitlock coming onto the ground.<\/p>\n
It is Whitlock’s first AFL appearance since Round 4 this year.<\/p>\n
If you remember last year’s AFL draft, the Kangaroos traded this year’s first-rounder to the Tigers to be able to take Whitlock on the second night of the draft.<\/p>\n
16m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:55am<\/p>\n
Curtis puts the Kangaroos in front!<\/p>\n
Paul Curtis has two goals in two minutes and the Roos have hit the front!<\/p>\n
A lovely finish on the set shot as well after his teammates struggled in the opening quarter.<\/p>\n
Curtis has enjoyed a sensational season this year, definitely one of the Kangaroos’ shining lights.<\/p>\n
18m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:54am<\/p>\n
Curtis strikes after 50m penalty<\/p>\n
Paul Curtis gets the Kangaroos off to a great start in the second quarter after winning a 50m penalty.<\/p>\n
Curtis rams one home from inside the square. You’ve gotta love the intensity both these sides have brought this afternoon despite their ladder positions.<\/p>\n
They’re going at this footy like it’s an elimination final.<\/p>\n
19m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:52amZurhaar limps off after gruesome tackle<\/p>\n
Oh no, this is a horrible look for Cam Zurhaar!<\/p>\n
Zurhaar is dragged down in a tackle on the boundary line and his left leg bends very, very awkwardly under him.<\/p>\n
He immediately clutches at his left knee and he’s helped to the bench by two Kangaroos trainers.<\/p>\n
Alastair Clarkson looks extremely worried and Matt Whitlock, who is North’s sub, immediately starts warming up.<\/p>\n
23m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:49am<\/p>\n
The Hawks lead the Lions in the AFLW<\/p>\n
The first AFLW match of the day is into the third quarter, with Hawthorn currently leading Brisbane by eight points in Ipswich.<\/p>\n
Hawks star Tilly Lucas-Rodd is having a dominant match as per usual and is up to 19 disposals and two clearances to lead all players.<\/p>\n
Orla O’Dwyer is Brisbane’s leading ball-winner with 14 disposals.<\/p>\n
Casey Sherriff, Aine McDonagh and Greta Bodey have Hawthorn’s goals, while Taylor Smith and Dakota Davidson have hit the scoreboard for the Lions.<\/p>\n
Still anyone’s game!<\/p>\n
27m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:45amQT: Richmond 4.2 (26) leads North Melbourne 2.7 (19)![\"Kangaroos](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/lcimg-12e01865-f98f-42b9-8c3b-90279a42c4cc.jpeg\")

Richmond coach Adem Yze will be thrilled to take a seven-point lead into the first change.<\/p>\n
Efficiency has been the name of the game so far in this match. The Tigers haven’t gone inside 50 a whole lot, but have looked extremely dangerous whenever they do.<\/p>\n
Comparatively, the Kangaroos have been wasteful, both with their inside 50 entries and their shots on goal.<\/p>\n
The Roos’ first quarter score of 2.7 includes a 0.5 mark on set shots, that’s not going to get it done.<\/p>\n
The top seven leading ball-winners on the ground are North players, led by Harry Sheezel, who has 13 disposals and three clearances.<\/p>\n
Five Tigers have six disposals, including Tom Lynch, who looks like he’s ready to tear this match apart.<\/p>\n
Lynch already has four marks and he’s kicked 2.2.<\/p>\n
31m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:41am<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos wasteful so far<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos need more bang for buck with their inside 50 entries at the moment.<\/p>\n
They lead that department 15-8, but have so far kicked just 2.6.<\/p>\n
Charlie Comben misses a very, very gettable shot on goal after a 50m penalty brought him within scoring range.<\/p>\n
36m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:35am<\/p>\n
Roos fume after a pair of free kick calls<\/p>\n
James Tresize kicks Richmond’s fourth goal of the match after being infringed upon in a marking contest.<\/p>\n
The Roos are fuming after George Wardlaw almost got decapitated in a Toby Nankervis tackle attempt.<\/p>\n
The umpire called holding the ball instead and Dion Prestia took the advantage and sent a long one inside 50 where Tresize was infringed upon.<\/p>\n
Tom Lynch very influential in the lead-up to that goal again, he’s having a huge afternoon so far.<\/p>\n
Wardlaw wasn’t happy at all after that free kick call, and engages in some push and shove with Lynch, who we know absolutely loves all that stuff.<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos faithful in attendance are showering the ground with boos as Tresize kicks his goal.<\/p>\n
42m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:29am<\/p>\n
Simpkin shows a touch of class from the pocket<\/p>\n
Lovely finish from the Kangaroos skipper!<\/p>\n
The territorial dominance from the Roos in the last few minutes finally pays dividends.<\/p>\n
Cam Zurhaar dishes off a handball to Jy Simpkin, who finishes beautifully from a tough angle on the run.<\/p>\n
44m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:28am<\/p>\n
A big difference in forward 50 entries right now<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos are getting some more territory over the last few minutes, but they’ve looked very messy going forward.<\/p>\n
A lot of their kicks inside 50 are to big packs, which aren’t helpful at all.<\/p>\n
Comparatively, the Tigers have done well to isolate Lynch on Pink.<\/p>\n
The usual suspects are all getting a ton of the footy for the Kangaroos, with Colby McKercher’s eight touches leading the way.<\/p>\n
49m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:22am<\/p>\n
Mansell continues Richmond’s hot start<\/p>\n
The Tigers have three goals in four minutes as Rhyan Mansell drills a set shot from 40m out on a slight angle.<\/p>\n
The Tigers look absolutely dynamic every time they’ve gone inside 50.<\/p>\n
Their five inside 50s have led to four scores so far.<\/p>\n
51m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:21am<\/p>\n
Lynch makes it two goals in two minutes<\/p>\n
Richmond’s premiership stars are having their way at the moment!<\/p>\n
Kamdyn McIntosh won the centre clearance and dishes off to Jack Ross, who sends a lovely long ball into the square where Tom Lynch outmuscles Toby Pink.<\/p>\n
“You’ve got to make a change, he’s just too good for him at the moment,” says Kangaroos great David King on Fox Footy’s coverage.<\/p>\n
Lynch already has four kicks, three marks and two goals and is easily the top-ranked player on the ground.<\/p>\n
53m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:19am<\/p>\n
Lynch gets the Tigers on the board<\/p>\n
Tom Lynch is up and about early folks!<\/p>\n
After a missing an earlier set shot, Lynch flushes this next one from outside 50m out.<\/p>\n
He’s got Toby Pink on him and Pink looks slightly overmatched to say the least.<\/p>\n
58m agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:14am<\/p>\n
Zurhaar dribbles home the opener<\/p>\n
Terrific finish from Cam Zurhaar as he dribbles one home from the pocket on the left foot!<\/p>\n
Lovely coast-to-coast transition from the Roos after Tom Lynch’s miss from a set shot at the other end.<\/p>\n
Zurhaar has kicked 11 goals in his last three games with the Tigers, their defence have to be up and about around him this afternoon for sure.<\/p>\n
1h agoSun 17 Aug 2025 at 3:10amTigers forced into late change ahead of first bounce<\/p>\n
We’re off and running in Tasmania!<\/p>\n
Some late, late, late team news from the Tigers just before the first bounce.<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos will line up as originally selected.<\/p>\n
