North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
North Melbourne pulled off one of the biggest upsets in season 2022 when they beat Richmond having sacked their coach earlier in the week.
A team that has struggled to score all year is suddenly finding different avenues to goal and it was Cameron Zurhaar with six on the day to help his side beat the Tigers.
They have kicked 26.17 in the past two weeks which has helped, and they clearly won the clearances against Richmond.
Hawthorn are a team that struggles in the clearances department and they also give the ball back to the opposition more than any other team aside from the Suns.
The Hawks have won back to back games but this looms as a real opportunity for North Melbourne if they can bring as much pressure as they have the last two weeks against Collingwood and Richmond.
I’m not confident in any head to head or line betting in this contest much Mitch Lewis has been extremely consistent up front for Hawthorn all year.
