Where and when: Blundstone Arena, Sunday June 16, 3.20pm AEST
What it means for North Melbourne: The Roos are one of only four sides – Geelong, Fremantle and Adelaide are the others – on a multiple-match winning streak. Beat the Giants and an unlikely finals berth is suddenly very realistic.
What it means for GWS: Another chance to prove it can perform on the road. The Giants are 5-0 at home, but 3-4 interstate. North’s a strong performer at its home away from home in Hobart, so a GWS victory would be impressive.
The stat: The Kangaroos rank No.1 in points for, points from intercepts, inside 50 differential and time in forward half differential across the past three weeks.
The match-up: Matt De Boer v Ben Cunnington
Cunnington (No.8 in the AFL Player Ratings) is arguably the competition’s most in-form midfielder and sits third in the AFL Coaches’ Association votes. Waiting for him on Sunday will undoubtedly be the game’s best tagger, Giant De Boer (No.156).
It’s a big week for: Heath and Rhyce Shaw
The Shaw family rivalry adds a new chapter in this game, when GWS defender Heath faces off with North’s caretaker coach Rhyce. The former Collingwood teammates spoke multiple times during the week and will both be desperate to get one up on the other.
Thommo’s Tip: GWS by 2 goals.

Who does De Boer go to with Higgins out:
T. U: Cunnington
T.D: Ziebell
Comment: someone else or no tag
About time teams gave these taggers some special “attention”…De Boer today would be a good start.
Hope so, Wighty.
I’ve got Cunnington and C J. Kelly as my last two to play, sitting on a meager 1215. Need them both to go huge.
If there ever was a player to fight off a tagger as good as De Boer, it’s Ben Cunnington. De Boer may as many punches as Cunnington gets possessions tho…

Was bringing in jeremy cameron a mistake?????? I’m starting to feel regret
He normally scores big but North seem to be shutting him down
Anyone looking to bring in a fallen premium MID? just wait two weeks after they’ve been De Boer’d. Bound to be nice and cheap then!! 😉
De Boer has become one of the most important players in Supercoach. If the All-Australian selectors are picking players based on their influence on a game, he should be one of the first selected.

c. 30 more pts to be allocated
Is this harsh, kelly scores 20 points in 3rd qtr when game is still on the line and 37 in last qtr when game is done! Just asking.
They’d overallocated SC pts at HT by nearly 80pts. That might explain some of it?
