West Coast and North Melbourne will face-off in a pre-season match at Hands Oval in Bunbury in a prelude to the historic main event during the 2025 AFL season.
The League released the AAMI Community Series fixture on Tuesday, confirming the Eagles would host the Roos on Saturday, March 1.
The 3.10pm clash will be another opportunity for West Coast to engage with the club’s passionate fan-base in WA’s South West region in early 2025.
North Melbourne will then host the Eagles in a historic match for premiership points at Hands Oval in round 13 on Sunday, June 8.
West Coast’s only previous match at Hands Oval was a pre-season clash against Adelaide back in 1991.
The AAMI Community Series clash could be the first chance for fans to get a look at West Coast recruits Liam Baker, Jack Graham and Matt Owies, and potentially the club's 2024 draft crop.
Each team can name 26 players, with eight on the interchange and no rotations cap. Matches will be played across four 20-minute quarters, plus time-on, as per the premiership season.
The match will be broadcast on Fox Footy and Kayo, with tickets to go on sale in February.
Further information will be communicated by the AFL in late January.
