Werribee come into the clash in good form, coming off back-to-back wins. Their most recent triumph came in Round 8, coming out on top against Collingwood with a 52-point victory at Victoria Park.

North Melbourne is currently 15th on the ladder ahead of the matchup, following a 51-point defeat to Essendon at Windy Hill on Sunday. Despite this setback, the Roos have been competitive in their recent games, with their two previous losses each being by less than a goal.
