West Coast vs North Melbourne

It's the rivalry that has divided footy fans since the 1990s, with the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne Kangaroos set to do battle once again this weekend.
I've been lucky enough to witness some of the greatest moments in this rivalry over the years, but one that always sticks in my mind is the 2018 Grand Final. It was a match that had everything: skill, passion, and drama.
In the end, it was the Eagles who emerged victorious, but the Kangaroos gave them a run for their money. It was a match that showed just how competitive this rivalry is.
The two teams have met 30 times in total, with West Coast holding a narrow 16-14 advantage. However, North Melbourne have won the past two encounters.
This weekend's match is sure to be another close one, with both teams in good form. The Eagles are coming off a morale-boosting win over the Western Bulldogs, while the Kangaroos have won their past two games.
I'm tipping the Eagles to win by a narrow margin, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Kangaroos caused an upset.
Here are a few things to look out for in the match:

The battle in the midfield: Both teams have strong midfields, so this could be a key area in the match.
The key forwards: West Coast have Jack Darling and Josh Kennedy, while North Melbourne have Ben Brown and Cameron Zurhaar. These players could have a big say in the outcome of the match.
The crowd: The crowd will play a big part in this match. Both teams have passionate supporters, so it's sure to be a great atmosphere.

I'm looking forward to another great chapter in this rivalry. May the best team win!
