After suffering their most disappointing result of the season against  Kuwarna (Adelaide) in Round 10, the Kangaroos will target an improved performance on home turf on Saturday against in-form Gold Coast.

Round 11, North Melbourne v Gold Coast
When: Saturday, May 23 at 1.15pm AEST
Where: Marvel Stadium, VIC
How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo Sports

The opposition

Captain Noah Anderson was superb as the Suns saw off Yartapuulti (Port Adelaide) last weekend to stretch their winning streak to three games.

Anderson had eight clearances among 33 possessions in stifling Darwin heat as Gold Coast held the Power at bay to win by 25 points. 

The win lifts them to fourth on the ladder with a 7-3 record.

Gold Coast's form has been built on defensive stability, after Wil Powell returned to playing half-back and Mac Andrew also made a successful shift back after playing a period in attack.

Forward Ben Long could return from an ankle injury to face the Kangaroos. 

Running hot

Paul Curtis was among North Melbourne's standouts on a disappointing day against Kuwarna (Adelaide) last Saturday.

The spring-heeled No.25 kicked three goals in the defeat to take his season tally to 20, three shy of North Melbourne's goalkicking leader, Nick Larkey.

Having kicked a career-best six goals against the Tigers last month, Curtis will be out to continue his prolific form and pose problems for the Suns' well-drilled defence.

What the coach has said

North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson post-match v Adelaide: "We haven't seen (a performance) like it for the year. You don't like ever seeing it. But we've just got to get ourselves back on the bike again and get going again for next week. It's no point jumping up and down about it."

Last time we met

Gold Coast overwhelmed the Kangaroos in a seven-goal final quarter in the sides' only meeting last season, at Barossa Park during Gather Round.  

North Melbourne had been in the lead late in the third term, before four goals before the three-quarter time gave the Suns momentum and a lead they would not relinquish.

Luke Davies-Uniacke (26 touches) led the way for the Roos, one day after announcing his seven-year contract extension with the club. Harry Sheezel and Jy Simpkin supported him at the stoppages, while Paul Curtis was among the most damaging forwards. 

Gold Coast's engine room did the damage for the winners, with captain Noah Anderson winning 13 of his 27 disposals in the pivotal third quarter, ably backed by Matt Rowell and Touk Miller. 

North Melbourne has completed the second biggest comeback in its history, mowing down Gold Coast to claim a six-point win after Cam Zurhaar kicked a goal after the siren.

The Roos trailed by as much as 43 points during the second quarter but never relented, kicking six of the last seven goals to secure the 17.9 (111) to 16.9 (105) victory at Marvel Stadium.

Zurhaar was thrown forward at half-time and it proved a masterstroke from North coach Alastair Clarkson.

Luke Davies-Uniacke, the Roos' best player, goaled from a set shot with a minute left to tie the scores.

The Suns won the crucial centre clearance, but the Kangaroos rebounded off half-back. A long ball found Zurhaar deep in attack and Suns defender Oscar Adams gave away an obvious free kick.

Zurhaar was mobbed by teammates after he kicked the match-winner. It is a massive win for the Kangaroos, who have struggled to claim a big scalp this season. 

Jack Darling kicked three goals for North, while Jed Walter did the same for Gold Coast in a clash peppered with contentious umpiring calls.

North's Jy Simpkin and star Suns midfielders Noah Anderson, Christian Petracca and Matt Rowell all stood out.

The Suns shot out of the gates, kicking the first three goals of the game in 10 minutes.

Deadeyes in the opening quarter, they kicked 7.0 and took a 17-point lead at quarter-time, not missing a shot on goal until early in the second term.

Late in the second quarter, Gold Coast had kicked five of its first 12 goals from centre ball-ups.

KANGAROOS v SUNS Full match coverage and stats

With in-form key defender Sam Collins again impregnable, the Suns were also putting the squeeze on North's forwards.

Gold Coast took a game-high lead of 43 points late in the second quarter and it looked like being a long afternoon for the Kangaroos.

But Zurhaar's move from defence back into attack at half-time had an immediate impact. His pass found Nick Larkey and the captain kicked accurately early in the third quarter to spark North.

The Kangaroos kicked four goals to one in the third quarter and reduced the deficit from 38 points at the long break to only 20 at the last change.

Coach Damien Hardwick had spoken of how banged-up his players were from the two wins in Darwin, and North was finishing the game better.

But a minute into the final quarter, Zeke Uwland kicked an outstanding goal from a tight angle to give Gold Coast a much-needed boost.

Top End fatigue hits again

The Suns extended their remarkable Top End dominance with two more wins in Darwin over the past fortnight, making it 10 straight at the venue. But while Darwin has become a fortress for Gold Coast, it's having an unwanted side effect, with Saturday's loss to the Roos the third time in four years it has lost immediately after returning from the hot and humid conditions up north. The Suns faded badly after half-time, where they held a 38-point lead, with the Roos grinding them down through the second half to eventually overrun them right on the final siren.

Big Sun could face MRO scrutiny

Gold Coast defender Sam Collins could come under MRO scrutiny for a heavy collision that left Roos forward Paul Curtis worse for wear during the second quarter. As Collins charged to spoil the incoming footy, he collected Curtis high and awkwardly, forcing him from the ground for an extended period. Although Curtis eventually returned and played out the match, Collins could still find himself in hot water due to the careless execution of the spoil. 

Next Up

The Roos will have a bye next weekend before travelling to Western Australia, where they will play Fremantle in Bunbury on Saturday, June 6.
