North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Geelong Cats Preview
One of the silver linings amongst all the Covid chaos with the fixture has been that decent teams get to play in Tassie.
The Cats head down to Hobart as arguably the hottest team in the competition right now, to face the much improved North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena.
Geelong might be the in vogue premiership prospect right now, but for punters North Melbourne is quickly becoming a very bankable side.
In their past eight games, the Kangaroos have covered the line.
The bookies won’t give ‘em a chance but yet again that famous Shinboner Spirit proves them wrong time and time again.
Not to mention that North has won three out of their past five games and can get off the bottom of the ladder depending on how results fall.
We’re not tipping the Kangaroos to cause an upset here, Geelong will go through the motions and chalk up another win.
However, at the line and along with the fact that eight of North Melbourne’s last 11 day matches (even on a windy, cold Tassie afternoon) have gone OVER the total match points line, I have no hesitation in backing the Roos at the double in this one.
