Harry Sheezel has equalled the all-time AFL disposal record in North Melbourne's 48-point victory over Richmond. 

The 20-year-old picked up 54 disposals on Sunday afternoon in Hobart, on par with Tom Mitchell's effort for Hawthorn against Collingwood in 2018.

The Kangaroos led by eight points at the main break but pulled away with an eight-goal third term in the 20.15 (135) to 13.9 (87) result.

In a sour note for the Tigers, key defender Nick Vlastuin hobbled off and was subbed out at half-time with an ankle injury after falling awkwardly.

North forward Paul Curtis had a career-high five goals, while 11 of the top 12 disposal getters for the game wore blue and white.

Tom Lynch started strongly for Richmond, kicking his team's first two majors and getting the better of Kangaroos defender Toby Pink for both. He finished with three goals but could have had more if not for some wayward set shots. 

The Tigers took a seven-point lead into the second quarter before back-to-back goals from Curtis put the Kangaroos ahead, before the game defining third term. 

As has been the case all season, Richmond wouldn't stop fighting, kicking six goals in the final quarter. Jacob Hopper's 26 disposals was the most for the Tigers, as he also added six clearances.

The Tigers close the 2025 season next Saturday against Geelong at the MCG.

Gun pair hurt in first half
Both teams were dealt an injury blow in the opening half as Roos forward Cam Zurhaar and Tigers star Nick Vlastuin were substituted with ankle injuries. Zurhaar got caught under a tackle from Tylar Young, while Vlastuin landed awkwardly as both sides were dealt blows in the first half.

Tigers make late, late change
Richmond made a very late change after Luke Trainor was withdrawn from the game in the warm-up. The Tigers initially named Kamdyn McIntosh as their substitute, but Trainor was withdrawn due to hamstring tightness and replaced by Steely Green, who was brought in as the sub.
