What it means for Melbourne: There's still a small element of redemption at stake for Melbourne after being thumped by West Coast in last year's preliminary final. A top-four scalp would restore confidence after a rough season.

What it means for West Coast: The Eagles let one slip last week against Collingwood. With quite a few winnable games to come, Alice Springs could be the launching pad for a top-two finish.

The stat: Just five AFL games have been played at Traeger Park, featuring four sides: Melbourne (which has hosted all five), Port Adelaide (three), Gold Coast and Adelaide (one apiece). Sunday will be West Coast's first game at the venue.

The match-up: Steven May v Josh Kennedy

Having now played four games since returning from a long-term groin injury, May (No.294 in the AFL Player Ratings) is in hot form and is likely to take Kennedy (ranked 173) in a battle of the heavyweights.

It's a big week for: Angus Brayshaw

Has struggled this season, playing more on the wing rather than the middle of the ground and was limited to just 12 disposals against the Western Bulldogs by a corkie. Brayshaw had 37 last time he played in Alice Springs.

Big call: Jarrod Cameron will back up his impressive start to his career with a NAB Rising Star nomination against Melbourne.

Prediction: Eagles by 35 points
