LIVE AFL: Roos showing plenty as reigning premiers set final ... (Fox Sports)

Ben Brown will look to remind North Melbourne of who they let slip when the former Roo plays his 150th AFL game as Narrm continues to dominate the 2022 ...

Tom Sparrow dribbled through a goal early in the fourth term to extend the margin and make things dicey for the Roos. Refusing to wilt, North Melbourne got on the board first in the second half after Jack Ziebell kicked truly after a mark over Angus Brayshaw. Making matters worse for the Dees was losing Langdon, with the winger subbed out of the game in what was believed to be related to the Thomas tackle from earlier. Goldstein took a contested mark in front of Steven May and kicked truly to deliver the Roos their first goal of the game. There were no late changes for either side. Melbourne were dominant in the middle of the ground early and had the bulk of inside 50 entries, but it was a contentious free kick to Ed Langdon just under seven minutes into the first term that led to the opening goal of the match.

By any name, Demons prove too good for plucky Roos (AFL)

NARRM has shaken off a dogged North Melbourne, defeating the Roos by 47 points at Marvel Stadium. The score doesn't reflect the first three quarters of the ...

Narrm has finally shaken off one of the weirdest current records in football, defeating North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium for the very first time. He may be the current All-Australian ruckman, but Max Gawn spent a fair chunk of time playing as a forward, with Luke Jackson given the reins around the ground. The bullocking forward was at his ferocious best against Narrm, taking advantage of the limited inside 50s to kick three goals, including a stunning wheel-and-snap from 50m. , but no one told the Kangaroos, who just kept coming and coming. It may have been a grim season for North Melbourne, but Zurhaar has well and truly turned the corner after a quiet start to the year. The score doesn't reflect the first three quarters of the match, with North Melbourne having closed to six points at the 13-minute mark, before the Dees flicked the switch to coast to the 14.16 (100) to 8.5 (53) victory.
