Saturday, November 5
Geelong v North Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium, 7.10pm AEDT
A relatively slow start in Round 10 saw Darren Crocker's side on the back foot against an in-form Richmond outfit, and although Sophie Abbatangelo rose Shinboner spirits with a goal early in the third quarter, North couldn’t build much from it.
As has been the case throughout several games this season, the Roos failed to capitalise on their inside-50 dominance, kicking three goals and nine behinds for the afternoon.
While Jas Garner was copping a hard tag, young midfielder Mia King lifted her output and had one of her best games for the season, finishing with 20 disposals, six tackles and six clearances.
The experienced duo of Jenna Bruton and Ash Riddell combined for 38 disposals and two goals, while Emma King performed admirably with 26 hitouts and 11 touches in Kim Rennie's absence.
Geelong had no trouble closing out its home and away campaign with a win, defeating the Swans by 75 points with an avalanche of majors on their home deck.
Chloe Scheer kicked four goals for the Cats and teammate Amy McDonald collected 34 disposals and 11 clearances.
North Melbourne managed to claim a 12-point victory over Geelong in Round 4 earlier this season and are yet to fall to the Cats since entering the competition.
Will the Roos triumph in enemy territory and progress to a semi-final?
