Four goals from 50-gamer Nyakoat Dojiok have led North Melbourne Werribee to a convincing 40-point victory over Darebin on Saturday afternoon.

The Roos' class ultimately came to the fore as they kept the visitors goalless after half-time, on their way to the 7.12 (54) to 2.2 (14) win at Arden Street. The triumph also sees them retain top spot on the ladder.

The victory was set up by the Kangaroos' territory dominance, winning the inside 50 count 42-16 to create numerous opportunities in front of goal.

KANGAROOS v FALCONS Full match coverage and stats

Dojiok posed a threat every time the ball entered the forward 50, making herself a target with her contested marking and work on the lead.

Star midfielder Maddie Di Cosmo (28 disposals, 10 tackles, six clearances) was also one of the Roos' best, working hard around the contest to get her hands on the football, while applying important onball pressure.

Sarah Ingram was also influential in the middle, filling the void of the injured Alana Barba to finish with 17 disposals and nine tackles.

Nike's acrobatics

In a season where she has shown she can kick goals from anywhere, Dojiok’s third midway through the second quarter was her most impressive of the afternoon.

Competing under a high ball at the top of the square, the star forward volleyed the footy out of the air with her back to the ground to create a clip for the showreel and extend the margin out to 28 points.

Skipper's stunning start

The Kangaroos struck first through Renee Tierney’s effort in the opening three minutes. It was a case of right place, right time for the skipper as she pounced on a loose bouncing ball before straightening up from 25m out and getting her side on the board.

Kelsie on fire

Kelsie Ternes put the icing on the cake with a brilliant cameo late in the contest. Returning to the side from concussion, the forward kicked truly after a superb, contested mark, before flying high over the top of her opponent to take a mark-of-the-day contender.

Next up

North Melbourne Werribee will travel to DSV Stadium to take on Williamstown in a top-of-the-table clash next Saturday, June 28. The opening bounce is scheduled for 10.05am AEST.
