• Mazda Hill - Deck chairs, bean bags, picnic rugs and lawn games on Mazda Hill, open for all fans to enjoy throughout the game.
• Zoom-Zoom: Spot the difference – Two matching vehicles will be parked on Fogarty Street with the same items inside, all except one. Fans must look in both vehicles and identify the difference to win a prize.
• Spirit of Tasmania DJ decks.
• Love the Game Program – Badge making and posters on the multipurpose court.
• Roo Squad - Kids activities.
• Medibank Sports Bra fitting station with free juice via Super Boost and free bananas.
• Plus, a variety of food options with something for everyone's taste!

Come along and experience footy at the home of the Kangaroos!

Help us support the Royal Children’s Hospital

The two teams will come together before the SuperClash for a reverse guard of honour to celebrate the true superheroes of the Royal Children’s Hospital, with 50 patients and staff members from the Hospital to run through a joint banner.

Fundraising at the game will kick off the 2025 Good Friday Appeal. Donate here!

The opposition

The Cats came agonisingly close to knocking off Melbourne last Saturday night at GMHBA Stadium, but despite a fast start, they couldn't shut the travelling Dees out.

Midfielder Amy McDonald starred in the two-point defeat, talling 28 disposals, nine tackles and nine clearances, while Jackie Parry booted two of her side's six goals.

Bring on Geelong!

The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos were held to a bruising draw by Geelong in the Week 2 SuperClash at Arden St Oval.

The Kangaroos led by three goals at half-time but managed only one goal in a wet and windy second half.

KANGAROOS v CATS Full match coverage and stats

Kate Shierlaw's set shot from the forward pocket put the Roos a kick ahead in the last quarter, but forward Mikayla Bowen hauled the Cats level, and neither team could break clear in the frenetic finish.

Club champion Jas Garner led the way with 32 disposals in increasingly slippery conditions, supported by Ash Riddell (30 touches) and skipper Emma Kearney (29).

Midfielder Jenna Bruton had eight disposals on her return from the ruptured Achilles tendon she suffered in December's AFLW Grand Final. 

Remarkably, Geelong still has not beaten North in the AFLW.

The Cats only hit the front once, early in the final term, when Nina Morrison soccered through a goal.

Shierlaw then replied and Jasmine Garner kicked a behind, before Bowen's late snap brought Geelong level.

Bowen also had a shot earlier in the final term, but the ball somehow bounced on the goal line and defender Libby Birch was able to clear it away.

Kicking with the breeze, Geelong could not take advantage of several opportunities in the first quarter.

North's Tahlia Randall kicked the only goal of the opening term, despite McDonald running rampant in the midfield.

After a goal apiece in the second term, Geelong blew several scoring chances.

Bella Eddey and Riddell crucially converted late in the half and North went into the main break with a three-goal lead.

As rain added to the tricky conditions, Geelong forward Aishling Moloney kicked two goals in the third term to help reduce the deficit to five points at three-quarter time.

The Cats were dominating and by the last change had racked up 13 more inside 50s, but North had the wind for the final quarter.

After Morrison put Geelong in front, North replied immediately after Shierlaw was collected high in a marking contest, setting up the thrilling finish.

The draw follows Geelong's two-point loss to Melbourne in its opener.

Up next

North will look to continue its strong start to the season when it meets Melbourne at Casey Fields on Sunday, September 15. The Cats are also in Victoria again, taking on Carlton at Ikon Park on Saturday.
