West Coast v North Melbourne
Patersons Stadium
Sunday September 9, 1.15pm WST/3.15pm EST



In the lead-up to Sunday's match against the Eagles, kangaroos.com.au will be looking back at some of the club's finest finals performances.

The 2000 Semi Final turned out to be the last win in finals for Denis Pagan and Wayne Carey, with North Melbourne running out 10-point victors in front of 50,027 at the MCG.

Shannon Grant kicked 4.3 from 20 possessions, while Peter Bell collected a game-high 32 disposals, but no-one else from either team gathered more than 26.

Former North Melbourne midfielder Anthony Rock played his second and final game against his old side. He was well held with only five touches and in his last game, Paul Salmon kicked just the one goal.
