The 2025 AFL season's Round 22 match sees the GWS Giants face off against the North Melbourne Kangaroos in a Sunday afternoon clash at the Corroboree Oval, Manuka.

The GWS Giants had their six-game winning streak snapped in a disappointing 132-44 loss to arch-rivals the Western Bulldogs.

They’re still clinging to eighth spot on the ladder with a 13-7 record, but the defeat dents their finals hopes, especially while holding the lowest percentage (111.3) among the contending teams.

On the other hand, North Melbourne blew another chance to notch up a win, going down to a struggling St Kilda outfit. Sitting at 4-1-15 for the season, the Roos have failed to lift themselves out of the bottom two, with losses in winnable games continuing to haunt them.

The Dockers will hope to push past a struggling Port Adelaide and avoid slip-ups, especially as tougher matches await them in the coming weeks against the likes of Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
