Match report: Roos halt Blues' streak to make it nine straight
May 21, 2016 9:54 PM
NORTH Melbourne has recorded its best start to a season in its 92-year VFL/AFL history, winning its ninth straight game with a commanding 67-point victory over an undermanned Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
North's 9-0 start to 2016 surpasses its 8-0 opening to 1978 when it lost the Grand Final, with its passage to the club record never really in doubt against the Blues as it increased its lead at every change to prevail 17.11 (113) to 6.10 (46).
The Roos' win put it two games clear on top of the ladder ahead of its key clash with the third-placed Sydney Swans next Friday night at the SCG. Todd Goldstein was the star for North, dominating the ruck in Matthew Kreuzer's absence.
Goldstein outclassed direct opponent Daniel Gorringe at the stoppages, finishing with 45 hit-outs to the Blue's seven, and regularly put the ball down the throat of his midfielders.
