The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have etched their names into the history books, achieving what no other elite Australian rules football team has ever accomplished. In a breathtaking display of skill and determination, the Roos demolished Hawthorn by a massive 95-point margin to secure their 24th consecutive victory.
A Record-Breaking Performance
From the opening bounce, the Kangaroos demonstrated why they're in a class of their own. The final scoreline of 15.9 (99) to 0.4 (4) tells the story of complete dominance at Kinetic Stadium. This wasn't just another win – this was history in the making as they surpassed previous records held by legendary teams from both the AFL and AFLW competitions.
Star Power Shines Bright
The Roos' victory was powered by outstanding individual performances that left the Hawks defence scrambling. Jasmine Garner delivered a masterclass, booting four goals in what can only be described as a best-on-ground performance. She wasn't alone in her brilliance – Emma King and Kate Shierlaw each contributed three goals to the commanding victory.
Making Australian Sporting History
This remarkable 24-game winning streak sets a new benchmark for excellence in Australian rules football. The Kangaroos have now surpassed the previous records of 23 consecutive wins held by the Melbourne Demons men's team from 1955-56 and the Brisbane Lions women's team from 2021-22. Their achievement places them in rarefied air within Australian sporting history.
What Makes This Streak So Special?
- Unprecedented Dominance: No elite Australian rules team has ever reached 24 straight wins
