North Melbourne Kangaroos v Carlton Blues; Fremantle Dockers v Adelaide Crows scores, results, fixtures, teams, tips, games, how to watch
There is an inevitable feel about the 2024 Good Friday clash, with Carlton’s star forwards Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow halfway to kicking a combined 10 goals – the number they hit in this clash 12 months ago.
The Blues are 29 points clear at half-time, and it would be a stunning development if the margin did not blow out further in the second half.

Making matters worse for North Melbourne was a serious achilles injury to ex-Tiger Callum Coleman-Jones, the player they were desperately hoping could take a load off Nick Larkey in attack and spell Tristan Xerri in the ruck.
Second-year Roo Harry Sheezel leads all players with 17 disposals playing off half-back, in part because Carlton lead the inside 50s 30-23.
