North Melbourne's Intraclub Match: A Star-Studded Affair
Get ready for an exciting afternoon at Arden Street Oval as North Melbourne's official AFL intraclub match takes center stage! This highly anticipated event will feature two of the club's brightest stars, Lachy Dovaston and Hugo Mikunda, on opposing sides. But here's where it gets intriguing: Dovaston, a livewire and draft pick No.16, will be on the blue team, while Mikunda, drafted at No.48, joins the orange squad.
The match is part of the club's annual Fan Day, offering a plethora of activities for all ages. From player autograph sessions to the chance to snap a photo with the 2024 and 2025 AFLW premiership cups, it's a day not to be missed! But that's not all – North Melbourne will also live stream the action exclusively to members and registered fans from 5 pm AEDT.
Commentators Nigel Carmody from Channel Seven and Leigh Montagna from Fox Footy will bring the excitement to life, with special guests joining the action. The intraclub match will follow a unique format: four 25-minute quarters with a 6-minute break between Q1 and Q3, a 15-minute interval for Q2, and a 3-minute scenario at the end of Q2 and Q4. The starting line-ups are packed with talent, including senior players like Paul Curtis, Cam Zurhaar, and the new captain, Nick Larkey.
However, it's worth noting that some key players are unavailable due to injuries or other commitments. Aidan Corr, George Wardlaw, Luke McDonald, Charlie Spargo, Blake Thredgold, Josh Goater, Jackson Archer, River Stevens, and Tristan Xerri will miss out due to various reasons. Despite these setbacks, the match promises to be a thrilling display of talent and team spirit.
