North Melbourne will head down the Princes Highway on Sunday afternoon, to take on Geelong at GHMBA Stadium.

The Roos were competitive in the first half against the Crows at Adelaide Oval last Saturday, but left with a 66-point defeat after struggling to match the home side's intensity following the main break. The challenges don't get easier for interim coach Brett Ratten and his group either, with a Cats outfit eager to return to the top eight next on deck.

Here's everything you need to know for the big Round 16 clash in this week's gameday guide.
