North Melbourne Kangaroos vs West Coast Eagles Preview
West Coast remains in control of its own destiny when they take on North Melbourne on Thursday night.
A win for the Eagles will be enough to secure the double-chance throughout the finals, while a loss would still leave them with home-field advantage against the eighth seed in the Elimination Final.
Fortunately for West Coast fans, the Roos appear to be easy pickings.
North has now lost seven in a row following last Saturday’s 64-point defeat against Fremantle, but there are a few signs to suggest this game might be a little closer.
West Coast has won only once in five games at Metricon this year, which doesn’t bode well for their chances heading into the finals.
Dom Sheed and Brendon Ah Chee also join Jack Redden, Lewis Jetta, Ellliot Yeo and Luke Shuey, on the sidelines, making up a long list of outs heading into a vital game.
It’s been tough to find much to like about North this year, but with a chance to close things out on a high note, the +36.5 line looks great value.
