Round 19, 1995 - North Melbourne vs Richmond

North Melbourne have got their revenge over the Tigers, coming back from almost 40 points midway through the third term to roll the Tigers at the MCG.

Richmond looked like they were all but home after a Wayne Campbell goal in the third, but the Roos stormed home, led by their captain Wayne Carey, to win 16.14 (110) to 15.10 (100).

After Richmond gave them a pasting in the earlier matchup in Round 4, the Kangaroos weren't about to let them get off to the hot start as they did last time, with the game being all square at quarter time.

The game saw the return of Stuart Maxfield to the lineup, after missing only three matches with a broken jaw. He was greeted to great applause from the Richmond faithful when he ran onto the field in the second term.

Richmond kicked away big time in the second term, booting seven goals to two to open up a 27-point halftime lead, looking all in control.

The Tigers continued to build their lead early in the third, but then Carey, and Brett Allison (albeit with a horrible dive that granted he and North a goal), started to turn the game back into the Kangaroos' favour.

North halved the Tigers lead by 12 at three-quarter time, and while both sides were showing plenty of fight in the last, North had that little bit more star power to eventually overcome the Tigers and pull off a stirring comeback win.

For the Tigers, the engine room of Wayne Campbell and Paul Broderick both had stellar games, picking up 57 disposals and kicking five goals between them.

Up and coming Tigers in Matthew Rogers and Justin Charles both had arguably their best games in the yellow and black to date, with Rogers kicking a couple of goals with 17 disposals, and Charles while he may not have had a big statistical game, fought hard and provided a great aerial contest including a ripping mark on the half-forward flank.

It took 27 AFL games, but tough defender Ashley Prescott kicked his first AFL goal, while tall forward Stuart Edwards kicked his 50th career AFL goal in the same game.
