Celebrating Indigenous Round

Kangaroos fans will get a close-up look at North Melbourne's 2024 Indigenous guernsey as the Roos continue to celebrate Indigenous Round this weekend.

The guernsey, titled 'Kangaroo Way', was inspired by North Melbourne’s First Nations players, including Jawoyn woman Mia King, the unity of the club and its existence on Wurundjeri Country. 

The opposition

The 17th-placed Suns have struggled to get going in 2024, and head into Week 10 with just one win under their belt for the season.

Despite their defeat to Yartapuutli / Port Adelaide last weekend, star midfielder Charlie Rowbottom put in a solid shift, finishing with 26 disposals and 12 tackles.

Bring on the Suns!

The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos defeated Gold Coast to complete an unbeaten home-and-away season and claim a historic AFLW minor premiership.

KANGAROOS v SUNS Full match coverage and stats

The Kangaroos took early control on a balmy Saturday evening at Arden St Oval and marched away with a 63-point win, led by four goals from explosive forward Alice O'Loughlin.

The 11.12 (78) to 2.3 (15) result secures a qualifying final next week against the fourth-placed team on the AFLW ladder, likely to be the Roos' fierce rivals Adelaide.

The finals fixture will be confirmed on Sunday night. 

North made history, becoming just the second team in AFLW history to finish a home and away season unbeaten, joining Brisbane in 2017.

Jasmine Garner starred again, finishing with 24 disposals and a goal, while Ash Riddell had 32 touches.

The Roos controlled the ball throughout the contest, finishing the match with 64 more disposals and 40 more marks, while dominating the inside 50s 51-15.

Charlie Rowbottom (27 disposals and seven clearances) and Claudia Whitfort (25 and six) toiled hard for the Suns.

North dominated early proceedings but struggled to convert its chances before a burst of three quick goals via Kate Shierlaw, O'Loughlin and Tahlia Randall.

The Suns stayed in touch thanks to a desperate goal from Elise Barwick to begin the second term, but the Roos started to make the most of their dominance from then on.

As Garner ran the show, O'Loughlin did the damage inside 50, with North opening up a 51-point lead at three-quarter time before cruising to victory.

Alice in Wonderland

Alice O'Loughlin starred up forward, kicking a career-high four goals. The forward had booted 10 majors leading into the week 10 clash but was goalless in three of her previous four outings, with Saturday's performance a nice confidence boost heading into the finals.

Next Up

With the minor premiership secured, the Kangaroos have booked themselves a qualifying final against the AFLW's fourth-placed team. The Crows are the likeliest opponents unless Fremantle can pull off a mammoth result against the Western Bulldogs in Sunday night's season-closing match. The time and venue for the qualifying final will be confirmed after that game.
