The prediction
North Melbourne are two victories adrift of the top ten and the play-off places with just two games to go, a position that is also felt by St Kilda and the GWS Giants. The Victorians earned a 23-point win against the Western Bulldogs last week.
Geelong come into this one on the back of a 67-point hammering of Essendon in their most recent outing. That made it four victories on the bounce just in the nick of time as they cement themselves in the top ten and the play-offs.
Geelong are in fine form here and North Melbourne will be close to getting themselves on the beach with an away win to be expected at Marvel Stadium in Docklands.
