Bring on Round 19!

Another difficult challenge awaits North Melbourne, who return to Marvel Stadium this weekend for a clash with Carlton.

The Roos will attempt to bounce back from a tough trip to Sydney, where they were defeated by the pacesetting Swans.

Round 19, Carlton v North Melbourne
Where: Marvel Stadium, Melbourne, VIC
When: Sunday, July 21 at 4.40pm AEST
How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo Sports

The opposition

After cruising past the Cats and Tigers, Carlton will enter Round 19 on the back of a two-game losing streak.

Despite a rampant first quarter at ENGIE Stadium, the Blues were knocked off by the Giants a fortnight ago before being edged out by the Bulldogs under Marvel Stadium's roof last weekend.

However, they remain in second spot and will fancy themselves on Sunday against the Roos, having picked up a 56-point victory when the clubs last met on Good Friday.

What the coaches have said

North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson, post-game v Sydney: "We wish that our improvement could be linear and that it could just continue to rise … (but) today we lowered our colours against a really good side, particularly around the ball. They broke tackles, were cleaner with the footy and scored 12 goals from stoppages."

Carlton senior coach Michael Voss, post-game v Western Bulldogs: "It never really felt like we were in a position to win it. They kept us at bay for most of the game ... and every time we closed, they got an easy one back. Credit to the Dogs, they brought a really consistent level of performance today and they stuck at the task and we weren't able to do the same."

In the mix

Robert Hansen jnr will be firmly in the frame for a season debut following another strong showing in the reserves over the weekend. He was one of the Roos' best afield in their five-point VFL win over Sydney, finishing with 16 disposals and two goals.

Zac Fisher returned via the VFL from a foot issue and racked up 27 touches and five intercepts and will look to jump back into the senior team against his former side, Carlton.

Zane Duursma could be brought in to freshen up the attack after taking three contested marks and kicking three goals at Tramway Oval.

In-form Roo

Jy Simpkin

The co-skipper was North Melbourne's best on a difficult day at the SCG as he added another impressive individual performance to his stretch of strong form post-bye.

He battled hard in the guts to come away with 26 disposals, and managed to have an impact on the scoreboard with two goal assists and a major of his own.

Charlie Curnow has kicked four goals to help Carlton end a two-match losing streak and reclaim outright second spot on the ladder with a 19-point win over North Melbourne.

The Blues were made to fight all the way but steadied late in the contest to secure an important 16.11 (107) to 14.4 (88) win at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.

Coleman Medal leader Curnow kicked three goals in his side's crucial third-quarter surge and was involved in an engrossing battle with Griffin Logue, who returned after more than a year out with a knee injury.

Tom De Koning sent a scare through the Blues' camp when he hobbled off with a sore left foot during the first quarter and spent an extended period in the change room.

The No.1 ruckman eventually returned to the action but was below his best and outpointed by direct opponent Tristan Xerri.

Sam Walsh, who missed the start of the season with a recurrence of his previous back injury, was also sore after a series of heavy collisions but was one of Carlton's best with 25 disposals.

Captain Patrick Cripps (29 disposals, nine clearances) and George Hewett (22, eight) were also influential in the middle, while small forwards Matt Owies and Jesse Motlop kicked three goals each.

Harry Sheezel (34 touches, two goals) starred for North, Charlie Comben and Paul Curtis kicked three majors each and Xerri had game-high tallies of 11 clearances, 10 tackles and 43 hitouts.

BLUES v KANGAROOS Full match coverage and stats

The contest pitted second against second-bottom and it was the underdogs who started better, with Sheezel snapping a brilliant opening goal.

Xerri and Jy Simpkin helped give the Kangaroos clearance ascendancy as De Koning headed to Carlton's change room for assessment on his foot.

Comben kick-started a second-quarter surge for North with the first two goals of the term, and they led by a game-high 18 points when Curtis snared his second major.

Motlop kicked two quick goals in time-on to keep the Blues in touch, but Comben added his third after the siren to restore an 11-point buffer at the main break.

North led by 17 points when mid-season recruit Brynn Teakle kicked the first goal after half-time, but Carlton flicked a switch and piled on the next five consecutive majors.

They never trailed from there, though the Kangaroos made them work for a hard-fought victory.

North trailed by just eight points and had some momentum when a harsh 50m penalty was paid against Darcy Tucker, allowing Adam Saad to kick a steadying goal with less than eight minutes left.

Another free kick gave Harry McKay the next goal moments later and the Blues were safe.

Carlton next faces a short break into a clash with Port Adelaide on Friday night, while North Melbourne hosts Geelong in Hobart on Saturday.
