The GWS Giants close out their inaugural season against a finals-bound North Melbourne on the rebound from an unexpected loss. We’ll have live scores from 4.40pm AEST.
The youngest team in the comp face a more mature side that’s gearing up for their first finals assault as a group.
For North, a massive win could elevate them into the top six, earning a home final, pending other results.
If those results don’t go North’s way, then it will at least serve as a test for Brad Scott’s men after their winning streak was ended by Fremantle last week.
The Dockers won by 53 points to secure their place in September, holding Drew Petrie goalless along the way.
Andrew Swallow was the main man for the Roos, with 30 disposals and 13 tackles. Scott McMahon and Scott Thompson were solid in defence, while Lindsay Thomas and Lachie Hansen booted three goals each.
The result moved Freo ahead of North on percentage, which may become a factor throughout round 23.
The Giants last week got off to a shocker of a start against St Kilda, with the outlook barely improving afterwards.
The final margin was 128 points, but it was a whopping 93 points at half time.
Toby Greene still managed to rack up 34 disposals, Taylor Adams had 27 and a goal. Adam Treloar was the only multiple goal kicker with two.
North have made no changes and the Giants have made seven.
