'Absolutely CRAZY!' - 'Electric' Roos snap 14-game losing streak; Tigers 'blow it': 3-2-1.

But when North play more free-flowing footy through the midfield, it actually gives Zurhaar a look inside 50 – and we know the damage he can do.” “Every miss has fueled the belief in the Kangaroos they can continue to go on with it. Simpkin set the tone at the coalface, having 13 disposals and three clearances for the quarter alone. “He has been something special today, Jye Simpkin,” Montagna said. The Roos slammed on six goals to Richmond’s one in the second term. They don’t make sense, there’s no reason - just sometimes you have one of those days.” “They are on the move, they’re first to attack the footy – and then when they win it, they’re breaking hard, getting forward of the contest and leaving Richmond in their wake, from the boundary throw-ins in particular.” Callum Coleman-Jones missed a golden opportunity front of goal to put the Roos back in front, but a brilliant tap from Goldstein to Zurhaar saw the later put through his sixth goal of the day, giving the Roos a four-point lead. There were no late changes to either side. Jack Graham recieved a free kick for high contact in the forward 50 and put the set shot through to give the Tigers the lead with eight minutes left in the term. Riewoldt then roared to life, kicking a goal on the run from the 50 metre arc and then drilling through a set shot a couple of minutes later. North Melbourne looked “full of energy” early as Cameron Zurhaar pounced on a loose ball in the forward 50 and snapped truly for the first goal of the game.

Kangas hold off Tigers in huge AFL upset (The Flinders News)

Caretaker coach Leigh Adams has led North Melbourne to the biggest upset of the AFL season in a...

Zurhaar had five goals from five kicks to half-time as the focal point, helping his side to a 32-point lead on the back of remarkable efficiency. It wasn't always pretty - Adams expected mistakes - but it led to the Kangaroos' highest score of the season. Veteran spearhead Jack Riewoldt kicked 2.6 and third-gamer Noah Cumberland 3.4, with Riewoldt (twice), Noah Balta and Shai Bolton all missing chances in the final quarter of what could prove to be a costly loss. Richmond had plenty of strong contributors through the middle - including Dion Prestia (26 disposals), Trent Cotchin and Jayden Short (24 each) - but let themselves down in front of goal. Zurhaar was the Kangaroos' hero in attack as Jy Simpkin (34 disposals), Luke Davies-Uniacke (28) and Hugh Greenwood (24) played integral roles in the midfield. It was a blow to the Tigers' finals hopes, leaving them clinging to eighth spot on percentage ahead of a clash with Fremantle in round 19.

'Diabolical': Dimma slams Tigers after dismal showing against Roos (AFL)

Damien Hardwick couldn't hide his disappointment after the Tigers went down to bottom-placed North Melbourne by four points.

"We knew they were going to come back at us really hard and, to the boys' credit, when we lost that lead, the character they showed to dig in was sensational," Adams said. "We got some real reward in the end." "It was ridiculous and probably sums us up really - it's Richmond killing Richmond at the moment." "There's numerous reasons and the last defensive-50 goal (to Zurhaar) was poor," Hardwick said. Hardwick said Aarts would have gone back to take his set shot in the dying seconds if he had his time again, but the coach refused to blame that moment of madness for the defeat. The Tigers won the inside-50 count in a landslide (67-46) but failed to make their territorial dominance count on the scoreboard.
