North Melbourne are celebrating the biggest win of their Alastair Clarkson AFL era, rallying in the second half of a pulsating duel to beat Gold Coast by six points.
The Kangaroos remarkably never led until Cam Zurhaar kicked a goal after the final siren on Saturday at Marvel Stadium, sealing the 17.9 (111) to 16.9 (105) win.
After several near-misses this season and last week's debacle against Adelaide, this is a massive scalp for the emerging Kangaroos.
"I'm so rapt for the club and certainly the playing group," said Clarkson, North's coach since 2022.
"I'm just so pleased that we were able to find a way and continue to have belief.
"We've been competing a hell of a lot better (this season) ... not quite getting there against high-quality opponents.
