Preview:
Carlton occupies the wooden spoon spot for now, but this game could go a long way to determining who finishes second last on the ladder.
The Swans and North Melbourne are both tied on eight points. Sydney snapped their four-game losing streak with a narrow (and controversial) win over the Bombers last week at home, while the Roos put up a gallant fight in their 24-point loss to Geelong.
This mightn’t look the most exciting game on paper, but recent history suggests there’s no love lost between these two sides. The Swans lost by two points at home to North in Round 7 last year before they went on to win by a goal at Marvel in Round 17.
With home-field advantage, the bookies are all over North this week, but the Total might be the safest play. Both sides rank bottom four in goal differential this year, and with their last meeting resulting in 202-points, make sure you back the Over.
