BRENT Harvey had the last laugh over nemesis Ryan Crowley as a gutsy North Melbourne recorded a stunning upset win over Fremantle last night.
Having conceded the first four goals of the game, Harvey helped orchestrate a superb comeback as the Kangaroos got home by 13 points in the Len Hall Game at Patersons Stadium.
Relishing the Friday night spotlight the club craves, the Roos inflicted the Dockers' first home loss in more than in a year in Drew Petrie's 250th game.
The triumph enabled North Melbourne to improve its record to 4-2 ahead of a home game against Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium next Sunday.

Most of them were greeted with a chorus of boos, after the Kangaroos champion told the tribunal Crowley had pinched him "about 300 times'' the last time the teams met.
Crowley was fined $1200 for misconduct despite telling the tribunal he never pinched Harvey.
Restricted to just 11 touches by Crowley in Round 13 last season, Harvey bounced out of the blocks with 11 by quarter time as the competition's most effective stopper went to him again.
The Roos had trailed by 26 points after Fremantle's early salvo, but had closed to within six points when Majak Daw kicked a running goal in the opening minute of the second stanza.

The home side had regained the ascendancy when star midfielder Nat Fyfe kicked his second goal midway through the second term, but North continued to hang tough to remain within eight points at the major break.
Sam Gibson, who finished with 31 possessions and two goals, capped his fine run-with job on Stephen Hill with a goal before Aaron Black got his first as the Kangaroos kicked three goals to two for the term.

Fremantle steadied with goals to Matthew Pavlich and Chris Mayne, and Harvey's long-range poster looked to be a heartbreaker for the Roos until Aaron Mullett nailed his own running effort from the 50m arc moments later.
It left North Melbourne within a kick at the final change and when Gibson kicked his second to become his team's first multiple goalscorer early in the last quarter the Kangaroos had taken the lead.

Black and Michael Firrito both returned to the field promptly after coming off with injuries in the opening term.
Black was cradling his right shoulder after a solid bump, while Firrito escaped serious injury after feeling the full force of ruckman Aaron Sandilands' knee in the middle of his back in a marking contest.
