Bring on Round 22!

North Melbourne will host the West Coast Eagles for its final home game of the season as it looks to pick up a second consecutive win for the first time this year.

The Roos are coming off a confidence-building win over the Tigers, while the Eagles will be hoping to ride their momentum after overcoming the Suns.

The opposition

It was a gutsy victory for the Eagles last time out against Gold Coast, triumphing by 10 points in front of their home ground while simultaneously snapping their nine-game skid.

After trailing for the majority of the night, co-captain Liam Duggan emerged as the hero late, snapping a brilliant goal to give West Coast a four-point lead before Jamie Cripps sealed the win with a classy inside-out snap on the boundary.

They'll be without key defender Tom Barrass again, but should regain retiring star Andrew Gaff which could provide the squad a boost as they look to send the No.3 off in style over the next fortnight.

What the coaches have said

North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson on Thursday: "We've spoken regularly about trying to finish the season really strongly, that's the go for us. The stuff that we're doing in the last few weeks of the season is more about 2025 and 2026 than right now."

West Coast interim senior coach Jarrad Schofield on Thursday: "It was a collective decision to honour a milestone player. The club and match committee was fully supportive of it. The boys are looking forward to seeing 'Gaffy' out there and we are going to get the Andrew Gaff we expect, he will play his role, run hard and be a selfless player like he always has been."

Milestone watch

Co-captain and two-time Syd Barker medallist Jy Simpkin will notch his 150th League appearance on Saturday.

The midfielder rediscovered his top form following a slow start to the year and has played a key role in the club's resurgence following the Round 12 bye.

Coming off 20 touches and a game-high nine inside 50s against Richmond, Simpkin will be out to continue his strong form.

Last time we met

North Melbourne registered a much-needed breakthrough last time these clubs met, as the Roos managed to edge past West Coast at Optus Stadium in Round 13.

The visitors were in the driver's seat with one term to play but a fourth-quarter flurry from the Eagles saw them pinch the lead with 10 minutes remaining.

But just as it seemed like the Kangas had run out of energy, they found a way to hit back with a clutch goal from Simpkin (28 disposals, seven tackles) and a sealer from Paul Curtis being enough to get their side over the line.

Zac Fisher racked up a game-high 36 disposals and 758 metres gained, while Nick Larkey starred down forward with five majors.

Oscar Allen has booted West Coast to a thrilling five-point win over North Melbourne, nailing a match-winning goal with 18 seconds left on the clock. 

The Eagles kicked the final four goals of the match at Blundstone Arena on Saturday to stun the Kangaroos, who had led by 35 points in the third term. 

Allen slotted five goals in the 15.12 (102) to 14.13 (97) win – West Coast's second in a row under interim coach Jarrad Schofield. 

North Melbourne appeared to have the game sewn up when Paul Curtis put his side up 96-77 in the 23rd minute of the last term. 

But goals to Elliot Yeo and Allen got West Coast right back in the mix, before Jamie Cripps kicked a major with about one minute left. 

Andrew Gaff marked just inside 50 before the retiring veteran's kick fell short, with Allen crumbing and snapping through the winner.

The win was 16th-placed West Coast's fifth of the season, leaving the Kangaroos (17th) just one win above last-placed Richmond, which plays St Kilda on Sunday.

Jeremy McGovern (25 disposals) was huge in defence for the Eagles, while Harry Sheezel (31 disposals) was among several Kangaroos who had strong games.

Sheezel played much of the match with a limp after copping a knock to his lower leg in the second quarter. 

Curtis kicked all his three goals in the last term, in what appeared enough to get his team home.

KANGAROOS v EAGLES Full match coverage and stats

The Eagles started the game strongly, picking up the first two goals before the Kangaroos came to life late in the quarter. 

Youngster Eddie Ford snapped a goal from a tight angle in heavy traffic before Toby Pink put his side ahead 26-21 with a major after the siren.

West Coast failed to kick a goal in a scrappy second quarter in which a spectacular flying grab from Harley Reid was a rare highlight. 

Reid found himself in multiple scraps in a first half with tempers flaring several times. 

North Melbourne's Tom Powell helped his side get ahead 48-26 at the main break with back-to-back goals. 

The Kangaroos threatened to run away with it after opening up a 35-point lead before West Coast surged with four straight majors in the third quarter.

Allen picked up three for the quarter including several strong pack marks as West Coast cut the lead to 13 points heading into the final term.

Young Roo continues to shine
While his side was beaten, Harry Sheezel continued to star. The 19-year-old had 31 disposals and kicked two goals, to go with seven tackles and four clearances. Sheezel looked like he would take the game away from the Eagles, only for a first-half ankle injury to slow him down.
