North Melbourne have made history by winning their 24th consecutive game, surpassing the previous VFL/AFL/AFLW record set by Geelong in 1952-53. The milestone was achieved in a dominant performance against the Hawks, with the Roos leading by nine points at half-time before sealing the victory.
Jasmine Garner, playing her 100th game in her first season as captain, was instrumental in the win. The Roos have been unstoppable this season, with a percentage of over 320 and an average of 12 goals per game while conceding less than four. Key players include Libby Birch, Ash Riddell, and Tahlia Randall, as well as debutant Blaithin Bogue, who is now the league's third-leading goalscorer.
Coach Darren Crocker has maintained high standards, ensuring the team remains focused despite the record. The Roos' unbeaten streak stands at 26 games, matching Geelong's run from seven decades ago. However, the focus now shifts to winning back-to-back premierships, a feat no AFLW club has achieved.
