North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Geelong Cats Preview
Despite just the one win so far this season, there has been plenty to like about North Melbourne.
Nick Larkey has 14 goals to his name and sits equal fifth in the race for the Coleman and this is even more impressive when you consider North Melbourne has had the third least amount of inside 50s and second least amount of shots on goal than any team in the competition.
They have moved the ball well when transitioning out of defence with Aaron Hall (4th in the comp) and Luke McDonald (8th) leading the way with rebound 50s.
It was a disappointing loss to Geelong on Easter Monday but full credit has to go to a Hawthorn team that was up for the challenge.
It shouldn’t be panic stations down the highway as Geelong lead the league in Centre Clearances and Shots On Goal and are second in Goal Assists.
Chris Scott’s men also turn the football over less times than any team in the competition and I think they will dominate the time in possession of the football in this match up and ultimately this will end in a big score for a hungry Geelong team looking to forget last week’s loss.
