We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

RICHMOND v NORTH MELBOURNE

Sunday 18 May @ MCG

16th are playing 17th at the MCG. Were it not for the Tiger Army, the seagulls might outnumber the spectators and players combined.

Richmond just scrambled home over West Coast here last outing. That is probably an indictment in of itself.

3 wins also likely denies them the Wooden Spoon now as you can't see the Eagles getting by them. They most as well now just keep having wins as the focus, instead of blooding talent.

What they need is less of Taranto and Hopper taking command and more from the youngsters.

Match Richmond North Melbourne Ground
Last time they met    10.17 [77] 14.6 [90] Marvel
Last 10 matches 5 wins 5 wins  
Notes Only played 3 times at the MCG in the last decade.
Richmond one of the few sides to lose more than once to North in the last 3 years.
For North, while they didn't get the win, it was as good as. Even if not free scoring, to hold Brisbane to 10 goals and gain a draw is very commendable.

A bit amusing that Sheezel was getting plenty of touches against a good team. It won't stop those who want to be critical but it's a good sign.

There is talent in that team around the experienced heads. They are 2 years away from the total mire but good things will ensue.

Reckon this is North Melbourne's opportunity to play very well on the MCG. The last time they actually won here was in 2017. So attack and take them on.

Match Selection: North Melbourne by 26 points

Suggested Bets: North Melbourne -9.5 @ $1.90
