It is almost two months since North Melbourne last tasted success when it trounced Melbourne by 59 points.

That day was supposed to herald the start of a new era at North Melbourne and be a big step in Alastair Clarkson’s rebuild.

Instead, the Roos enter Sunday’s match against Richmond six points behind the Tigers on the ladder.

Brisbane Lions can reclaim top spot with victory against Melbourne, while St Kilda heads west with a chance to close on the top eight.
