New Zealand Heritage star Jasmine Garner has produced yet another masterclass to lead North Melbourne to a crushing 60-point win over Sydney.
The Swans went toe-to-toe with flag favourites North Melbourne early in Sunday’s match at North Hobart Oval, with the scores locked at 18-18 late in the first quarter.
But North Melbourne kicked the next 11 goals to secure the 14.3 (87) to 4.3 (27) win, with the ladder-leading Kangaroos (seven victories, one draw) half a win ahead of Hawthorn and Brisbane.
Garner, a six-time All-Australian and one of the biggest stars in the competition, finished with 25 disposals, seven clearances, nine tackles, 438m gained and three goals in a best-afield display.
Fellow Roos midfielder Ash Riddell (30 disposals, six clearances) was also influential, while Alice O’Loughlin kicked three goals.
