2026 AFLW Round 6 Betting Tips
Hawthorn vs North Melbourne
Friday 5:45pm AEST, Cazalys Stadium, Cairns
North Melbourne travels to tropical North Queensland on a short five-day turnaround to open Round 6 against Hawthorn at Cazalys Stadium. The Kangaroos were heavily tested in a tight 33-23 SuperClash victory over Carlton last Sunday, extending their incredible winning streak to 32 matches. Ash Riddell was masterful with 39 disposals and 521 metres gained, while Jasmine Garner controlled the coalface with 30 touches and five clearances. Hawthorn arrives in Cairns after grinding out a 41-30 victory over the Western Bulldogs to cement their status as genuine finals contenders.
Despite the Hawks' solid form, history is heavily stacked against them in this matchup. These teams met twice within the space of a week last year, with North Melbourne handing Hawthorn two brutal football lessons. The Kangaroos dominated 67-18 in their first clash before ruthlessly keeping the Hawks goalless in a 42-3 qualifying final demolition. Compounding Hawthorn's immense challenge, they suffered a devastating blow last week when captain and premier midfielder Emily Bates ruptured her right ACL. Without their most vital on-baller to combat Garner and Riddell, the Hawks will be severely outclassed at the stoppages. Take the Roos to continue their dominance in this matchup and cover the spread.
