North Melbourne is set to take on AFL leaders Collingwood on Saturday at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne in Round 11 of the 2025 Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season.

North Melbourne started their home-and-away season with a loss to the Western Bulldogs but quickly recovered to take their first win in their second game. However, things could have gone worse for Alastair Clarkson's side as they then went on a run of six straight losses that placed them just off the bottom of the ladder.

However, they managed to take their first points in over a month and a half when they endured a 71-all draw against the then-leaders, the Brisbane Lions. They followed it up with a 78-74 win over Richmond, which has helped them build a gap to bottom-of-the-ladder West Coast Eagles.

Collingwood looked to be in for a tough season when they lost 104-52 to the GWS Giants. However, the Opening Round match was not a testament to how their season was gonna go. The Magpies went on a run of six straight wins that put them atop the ladder.

The Geelong Cats handed Collingwood their second loss of the season in Round 8 before taking two more wins heading into Round 11. The Brisbane Lions' disappointing last two games have seen Craig McRae's side retake their top spot on the AFL ladder.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
