The West Coast Eagles will play North Melbourne Kangaroos on Saturday night at Domain Stadium for a spot in the AFL Grand Final.
In their only meeting this year in Round 10, the Kangaroos hung on in gusty conditions, playing a solid final quarter to beat the Eagles by 10 points.
The Kangaroos have charged into the preliminary finals from outside the top four for the second year running, coming off a solid victory over the Sydney Swans last weekend. Kangaroos midfielder Nick Dal Santo will play his 300th game, while forward Drew Petrie and defender Robbie Tarrant are expected to be fit for the weekends clash.
West Coast have enjoyed a week off after beating Hawthorn in the first week of the finals. Midfielders Matt Priddis and Chris Masten will return to the fast paced Eagles midfield that will be hard to beat. – Jackson Barron.
