West Coast have won or been competitive in patch sin Perth, however, that type of form has not followed them on the road, losing all of their 9 away matches by an average margin of 57.66 points. 

North Melbourne put together a half-decent performance to get their third win of the season over Richmond last week and will look to make it consecutive wins since rounds 1 & 2 last season and make it 5 wins from their past 6 games against the Eagles.

The Kangaroos accuracy will once again get them past West Coast in a 1-39 victory as the Eagles will continue to hit the target outside of Perth and will score less than their team total of 82.5 points.

  • North Melbourne have won 4 of the past 5 games against West Coast, all by a margin of 1-39. 
  • North Melbourne lead the AFL with a goal accuracy of 57.0.
  • West Coast average 57.33 points away from home in 2024
  • West Coast have scored over 82.5 points just once this season as the away team.

North Melbourne did what they had to do against Richmond to likely avoid the Wooden Spoon in 2024, beating the Tigers 90-77 with another incredible performance shooting on goal, kicking 14 majors from 20 scoring shots.

The Kangaroos are clear league leaders in the accuracy department on top of the AFL with a 57% accuracy figure just under 3% better than Carlton in second. Where it all falls apart for the Kangaroos though is that they sit at the bottom of the standings in regards to scoring shots per inside 50, as well as getting the least forwards entries of any team in the league. 

North Melbourne Team News


Griffin Logue will undergo surgery on his wrist and will miss the rest of the season.

Dylan Stephens is expected to miss this week after getting subbed off last weekend with an ankle injury. George Warlaw will also miss this week under concussion protocol.

The Eagles got their fourth win of the season, taking advantage of the Gold Coast’s horrendous form away from home, kicking two late goals to seal the victory after coming back from a 23-point deficit in the third quarter.

The Coast led forever 100 minutes in the match but self-destructed trying to protect their lead too early and the Eagles pounced to break their nine-game losing streak and finally giving their home fans something to cheer about. 

The Eagles got their fourth win of the season and their fourth win at home as they also chance an elusive victory outside of Perth.  West Coast have conceded 100+ points in every game outside of Optus Stadium this season, while averaging just 57.33 points per game themselves.

West Coast Team News


Tom Barrass is expected to clear concussion protocols and be available this weekend for the Eagles, while Harry Edwards will miss this week after taking a head knock against the Coast.
