The Kangaroos are set to take on the longest away trip in the AFL this week as they cross the country to take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

North will be hoping to build on the strong first-half showing against Carlton with a victory reminiscent to last season's win over West Coast at the same venue.

Whether you're in the stands or on the couch, make sure you're prepared with this week's gameday guide.

Friday, May 6
Fremantle v North Melbourne at Optus Stadium, 6.40pm AWST (8.40pm AEST)

North Melbourne enters the clash with a point to prove. 

The somewhat bland performances of recent weeks were not repeated in the opening two stanzas against Carlton, but there must be a hope and drive to ensure the second-half fade from Round 7 doesn't happen again this week.

Fremantle will enter the clash high on morale after overcoming a fast-finishing Geelong side by three points in a see-sawing encounter at GMHBA Stadium last week.
