North Melbourne’s Wildcard hopes are all but over, however, the most passionate and optimistic fans will consider the two games and 9% outside the 10 a challenge rather than fait accompli.

The Roos are $3.50 outsiders against the Cats but will take confidence from a crucial 100-77 win over the Western Bulldogs last Thursday, a result that marked just their second win this season over an opponent of note.

The Cats are $1.30 favourites with Ladbrokes and the head-to-head history here is about as lopsided as it gets.
