North Melbourne is one game away from the greatest AFLW regular season, with a win over the Gold Coast on Saturday ensuring they will go through 2024 undefeated.
North Melbourne is on the verge of doing what just one other team has achieved in AFLW history: complete a home-and-away season without a loss.One last victory on Saturday afternoon against the 17th-placed Gold Coast would see them better the Brisbane Lions' inaugural 2017 season, in which they won every game except one, a draw — but that season was only seven games long, as opposed to 11 in 2024.
But what it has built this year is a way to balance that staunch defensive mindset into devastating attack. The reason the Roos have proven to be so deadly on turnover is because of their structure that is diligently maintained ahead of the ball. They make the ground long, meaning there is always a forward or two staying deep as an option to target once the ball has been won.
Such force at the contest is one thing, but the skill and efficiency with which the Roos turn their clearances into attacking opportunities is unparalleled this year. On top of such clearance power, their midfielders are also getting forward and kicking goals of their own. Garner leads the way with 12, while Riddell, and Tripodi, along with wingers Tess Craven and Taylah Gatt have also joined the party this year.
