North Melbourne returns to Marvel Stadium on Sunday hunting four wins in a row against Richmond.

The Kangaroos showed grit against reigning premiers Brisbane in Round 5, and will be eager to convert a similar effort into four points this time around.

Round 6, North Melbourne v Richmond
When: Sunday, April 19 at 1.10pm AEST
Where: Marvel Stadium. Docklands, VIC
How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo Sports

The opposition

After coming close to knocking off Carlton in their first appearance of the season, the Tigers have had a difficult time since, losing their past four games by an average of 57 points.

Despite falling to Greater Western Sydney by 56 points in Gather Round, Richmond showed some positive signs, winning the inside-50 count by five and the clearance count by four.

While Adem Yze's young group has produced some quality football, the coach knows there’s work to be done. "We need to be really honest with where we are. [We are] not up to standard and [we've] got to get better," Yze said after Round 5.

Richmond will again be without ruck Toby Nankervis, while forward Tom Lynch remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Running hot

The rapid rise of Cooper Trembath has been a sight to behold.

From playing local footy for Blackburn to taking unforgettable hangers on the big stage, the Round 4 Rising Star nominee’s profile continues to grow.

His two goals against the Lions at Barossa Park takes his career total to 19 from just eight games, while his contested marking tally sits at nine for the 2026 season - ranked equal sixth in the League alongside the likes of Melbourne’s Max Gawn and Adelaide’s Riley Thilthorpe.

What the coach has said

North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson: "When you're playing against the reigning premier … you've just got to capitalise on your chances.

"We feel like we're making progress … when the whips needed to get cracking, we just fell a little bit short."

Last time we met

It was the Harry Sheezel show last time out against the Tigers, as North Melbourne’s No.3 equalled the all-time AFL disposal record in his side’s 48-point victory over Richmond in Tasmania.

Sheezel picked up 54 disposals, becoming the first player in the competition to surpass 50 touches in a game since Brisbane’s Lachie Neale achieved the feat in 2019.

Paul Curtis also starred in the 20.15 (135) to 13.9 (87) win with a career-high five goals, including a near-impossible snap from deep in the pocket.

Richmond's horror winless start to the season has continued with a 75-point thumping at the hands of North Melbourne.

The Roos are a clear step ahead of the inaccurate Tigers, leading for all but a handful of minutes at the start of the game, and put the foot down in the second half to coast to the 20.9 (130) to 7.13 (55) victory.

Adding insult to Richmond's already lengthy injury list, Sam Banks' day ended in the opening five minutes of the match, seriously damaging his collarbone after landing awkwardly in a tackle, while Maurice Rioli pinged a hamstring in a second term that saw the Tigers limp to a 2.12 tally at the main break.

By the time acting skipper Tim Taranto was ruled out with concussion in the third term with the Tigers trailing by 51, it had reached 'if you don't laugh, you'll cry' territory.

Harry Sheezel (39 disposals) and Colby McKercher (26) were simply superb across the ground, making sharp decisions and pulling off tough kicks to open up play, and Richmond's two rotations on the bench after half-time caught up with the remaining fit players.

McKercher in particular thrived under the roof, turning on the jets on a number of occasions to burst clear of his opponents, proving a clear difference between the teams, while veterans Luke Parker and Caleb Daniel distributed at will from the backline.

Paul Curtis took full advantage of North Melbourne's deepening forward line in the first term, and it was a sign of things to come.

With all Richmond defensive eyes on Nick Larkey, Jack Darling and new favourite Cooper Trembath (who pulled in a now-customary mark of the week nomination in the fourth), the high-marking small bobbed up to kick three first-quarter goals and finished with six for the game.

KANGAROOS v TIGERS Full match coverage and stats

The Tiger inaccuracy kicked off in the first quarter proved contagious, with growing pressure to be one to break the goal drought adding more mental demons to every attempted goal, in an agonising spiral in perfect closed-roof conditions.

It appeared Steely Green had stopped the rot with a sharp snap, but that was declared the team's 12th behind, with just one goal on the board. Campbell finally broke through just before half-time, with eight behinds having been kicked since his first major.

North Melbourne led by 39 points at the main break, despite having one fewer scoring shot in that time, and finished with 11 different goalkickers.

The long-suffering North Melbourne fans were in party mode, celebrating a rare thumping victory as their players dobbed goals from every angle with absolute ease, including an absolute pearler from former skipper Jy Simpkin on a sharp angle in the second term.

Noah Balta was thrown forward in the third term, pushing Jonty Faull into defence in an attempt to get the young tall into the game after a few lean weeks.

Zurhaar the defender?
Forward Cam Zuurhaar was shifted to defence with great effect, generating plenty of run off half-back and reading the ball well overhead. Usually a last-resort move when a forward is trying to resurrect their career, Zurhaar appears to have been simply squeezed out of North Melbourne's well-balanced attack. His prominence faded over the game as the ball stayed in the Roos' front half, but the move looks to be a winner for Alastair Clarkson.
