Round 17 concludes with a return to Monday night football when the West Coast Eagles host the last-placed North Melbourne Kangaroos in dire need of a return to form. Follow along right here on The Roar with live scores from 7:40pm (AEST).
For the first time since 2014, the AFL will play a home-and-away game on Monday night, with Perth’s return to 100 per cent crowd capacity at midnight on Sunday prompting the move.
The Eagles will need every inch of that full house cheering them on to get back to their best, because their recent form has been disastrous. Last week’s 92-point loss to Sydney might have been the club’s worst under Adam Simpson… if not for the 96-point drubbing at the hands of Geelong only a few months ago.
The Eagles still sit eighth, and can leapfrog crosstown rivals Fremantle into seventh with a win here. But their percentage took a hammering against the Swans, and this match presents as one of their few remaining chances to surge it back above 100.
While they’ve only won two matches and drawn one more for the season, the Kangaroos are showing signs of life under new coach David Noble. A fortnight ago, they took down Gold Coast, while they were gallant in defeat last week to the Western Bulldogs.
However, their last trip to Perth back in Round 6 resulted in a dismal 51-point loss to Fremantle. We will see in this game just how much the Roos have improved since then.
Simpson has rung the changes for this clash, with wingman Andrew Gaff and goalsneak Liam Ryan both welcome returns from injury and suspension respectively; while the Roos head in with the same starting 22 as last week.
