North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Sydney Swans Preview
There’s been a lot of changes in society of recent, but one thing remains the same – people writing off North Melbourne and North Melbourne winning as the underdog.
The Kangaroos were sensational last weekend with five unanswered goals in the second half being the key to a 20 point win over GWS.
Shaun Higgins played a blinder with 28 disposals and young-gun Cam Zurharr was amongst the Roos best with three sausage rolls to his name.
It might be Round 3 and in an unprecedented season, but North is currently second on the AFL ladder and undefeated.
Sydney was gallant in their six-point loss over the Bombers last weekend.
The Swans fighting out a close one against Essendon is nothing new and the likes of Jake Lloyd with 29 touches and Luke Parker kept Sydney in the game for most of the day.
They’ve now been involved in two heart-stoppers, although being spaced out over 82 days is best for the health and wellbeing of their supporters.
I’m expecting a highly competitive contest in this one, but North should be too good for the Swans.
The $2 line comes into play with the market setting it at -8.5 and I will be taking the Kangaroos to beat it.
