The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos are gearing up to face expansion club Sydney this Sunday with a third win in a row the goal at hand.

A 15-point win over the Western Bulldogs saw Darren Crocker's side hop into the top eight last Friday and stay there as the remaining Round 5 games concluded.

Now sitting in seventh, the Kangaroos will host the winless Swans at the Swinburne Centre as they look to continue their rise up the ladder after a 1-2 start.

Make sure you're ready to go with this week's gameday guide.

Sunday, October 2
North Melbourne v Sydney at the Swinburne Centre, 5.10pm AEDT

Last week was as close as North Melbourne has come to a full four-quarter performance this season as they recorded their highest score of Season 7 to down the Bulldogs 43-28 at the Swinburne Centre.

The royal blue and white will be back at Punt Road Oval for Round 6 - after a venue change away from Arden Street - to take on the Swans and former coach Scott Gowans for the first time ever in AFLW.

After falling short by four points against fellow expansion side Hawthorn last week, Sydney is now the last remaining winless team this season.

The Swans scintillated in the opening minutes thanks to three Brooke Lochland majors, but Hawthorn mounted a comeback after the first change and successfully completed it in thrilling fashion.

2022 draftee Cynthia Hamilton was one of Sydney's best, coming away with a game-high 19 disposals and five tackles.

It was a performance that the Swans will gain confidence from, but North Melbourne will be determined to extend its string of victories.

Will North add to Sydney's first-year woes?
