Black armbands

Fremantle will sport black armbands in honour of one of Shai Bolton’s family members who recently passed away.

No changes

Fremantle will roll with Nat Fyfe as the sub again with North Melbourne using Robert Hansen Jnr as they did in Bunbury.

Fyfe was used as the sub against Gold Coast and managed seven touches in a solid final term.

Welcome!

The ground is slowly filling as North Melbourne prepare for the second of their Perth ‘home’ games.

A win over West Coast had the Roos bouyed all week and they will be up and about tonight.

The Dockers come into the clash after a bye and will be eager to avoid the blues that have plagued them post-bye the last few years.

Enjoy all the action with our live blog!
