01:00
North Melbourne will be keen to press on and win this match to stake their claims for a place in the final eight with Port Adelaide slipping up today.
02:12
SCORE GOAL - Kangaroos (Drew Petrie)
02:20
GOAL KANGAROOS - Brent Harvey with superb foot skills kicks to the lead of Drew Petrie who takes it on his chest. He lines up the kick. It's close to the post but it holds its line and North lead.
03:30
A blow to North Melbourne as Hansen cops an accidental blow to the head and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. Hansen is helped off and will be tested with McKenzie coming on temporarily.
05:10
The Lions fire in the long ball at their skipper Jonathan Brown, but Todd Goldstein, The Big Friendly Giant, stands tall and marks.
06:50
Merrett is playing a kick behind the play for the Lions at the moment.
08:10
It has been a sluggish start to the match at the moment with both sides generous in their giving away of the footy.
09:30
Swallow negotiates his way through traffic with the poise of a V8 driver and kicks long, but there is nobody home for the Kangaroos and the Lions clear.
10:10
McGrath dives on the ball inside 50 with Jack Ziebell sizing up the situation and applying the tackle. That's holding the ball and that's why Jack Ziebell is so important to North Melbourne.
12:50
Brown takes the mark for the Lions in defence. Not a common site but the skipper does what is needed to help his team out.
14:10
BEHIND LIONS - Thompson with a very good defensive punch to concede a behind with Brown ready to take the mark.
14:12
SCORE BEHIND - Lions (Rushed)
15:27
SCORE GOAL - Lions (Brent Staker)

GOAL LIONS - It's a little too easy for the Lions through the middle and Staker presents to take the mark. Staker leans back and then kicks through the ball to kick the goal. Lions lead by 1.
17:00
Bad news for North Melbourne with Lachie Hansen to take no further part in the match. He dons the red vest and McKenzie is in for the rest of the match.
17:57
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Taylor Hine)
18:10
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Bastinac tries to kick a low bouncing flukey sort of kick, but it bounces the wrong way.
19:50
SCORE GOAL - Lions (Ashley McGrath)
20:00
GOAL LIONS - The Lions this time win the stoppage. They do more than win the stoppage. McGrath reads it best and snaps it through for a nice goal.
22:10
Frustration beginning to show on the face of Brad Scott in the North Melbourne coaching box.
23:02
SCORE GOAL - Kangaroos (Drew Petrie)
23:30

Further bad news for North Melbourne with arguably one of their best injured. Ziebell has hurt his knee and is getting it checked by the doctors.
29:31
Kangaroos Interchange - Jack Ziebell off due to an injury.
30:10
GOAL KANGAROOS - Cunnington is fortunate to be paid a 50 metre penalty and you have to make the most of those. He lines it up 40 metres out off the angle and kicks a beauty!
