North Melbourne faces competition leaders Collingwood under Saturday night lights in Round 11, hunting a second Sir Doug Nicholls Round win in as many weeks.

The Roos return to Marvel Stadium following their stirring four-point win over Richmond.

They will be out for revenge against Collingwood after a heart-breaking loss in the clubs' last meeting, but will need to string together four strong quarters if they're to knock off a formidable Pies line-up.

Round 11, North Melbourne v Collingwood
Where: Marvel Stadium, VIC
When: Saturday, May 24 at 7.35pm AEST 
How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo Sports

The opposition

After 10 rounds the Pies have become the team to beat, sitting on top of the ladder with an 8-2 record.

In a wintry affair at the MCG last week, Craig McRae's charges stood tall to deliver a 10-point win over Kuwarna (Adelaide), holding the Crows' talented attack to just 68 points.

Dan Houston remains in the line-up despite experiencing a calf complaint, but captain Darcy Moore will miss another game due to a shoulder issue.

Running hot

There was simply no stopping Tristan Xerri at the home of footy last Sunday.

Hungry to get his side over the line against the Tigers, the ruckman tallied 51 hitouts, 19 disposals, 12 tackles and 11 clearances.

With 48 coaches' votes next to his name, Xerri enters Round 11 on top of the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award leaderboard.

What the coach has said

North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson post-game v Richmond: "What's been really pleasing in the last month is that we've been in games of footy. With the start that we had, we were hoping the margin might've been a bit better at the end of the game, and I'm sure the Tigers are lamenting the fact that they were four goals down at quarter-time.

"It became a real arm-wrestle ... it felt like going to the dentist."

North Melbourne has gone down to a fast-finishing Collingwood by 45 points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.

There was just three points in it at three-quarter time, but the Pies put the foot down in the final term to run out 15.18 (108) to 9.9 (63) winners in Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

The Magpies turned a grinding contest into an avalanche with eight goals to one in the final term.

Nick Daicos, Collingwood's acting captain, had been quiet in the first half with only 10 disposals.

But he was outstanding after the main break, as older brother Josh continued his strong form with an excellent game off half-back.

Nick racked up 38 disposals - including a whopping 12 inside-50s - and Josh had 31 as the two most prolific players on the ground.

Already missing several players, Collingwood lost Scott Pendlebury and Bobby Hill as late withdrawals, then Brayden Maynard in the first quarter.

After Pendlebury dropped out because of illness, the AFL gave Collingwood permission to bring in Oleg Markov when Hill also became an absentee for personal reasons, understood to be a family matter.

Then Maynard limped to the bench and out of the game before quarter-time with a foot injury.

Markov later joined the final-quarter goal procession, capping off his excellent shot from an acute angle with an exuberant celebration.

KANGAROOS v MAGPIES Full match coverage and stats

The second-bottom Kangaroos, buoyed by some stronger form in the past few weeks, smelled blood early and led by nine points at half-time.

Collingwood key defender Billy Frampton restricted the damage with some crucial spoils as North pressed.

Then, predictably, Collingwood rallied. With Nick Daicos prominent, they kicked the opening three goals of the second half.

North rebounded with two goals to trail by three points at the final change.

After only 21 inside 50s in the first half, the Magpies racked up 20 in the third term, but kicked a wasteful 3.8.

They fixed that with emphasis, blasting through 8.1 in the final quarter.

North forward Cameron Zurhaar kicked his third goal in the last term, while Riley Hardeman impressed off half-back.
