It’s the end of the road for North Melbourne legend Ben Cunnington, who plays his farewell match against Essendon. Join The Roar for live scores from 1:45pm (AEST).

One of modern footballer’s most respected figures, Cunnington returns for his first match since round 8 for his 238th and final game in blue and white, having fallen out of favour with the Kangaroos turning to youth for much of 2023.

A Shinboner to the core, the Roos will leave no stone unturned to give the club great a fitting farewell, and with the Bombers struggling mightily against fellow strugglers West Coast last week, they might be a better chance to see Cunnington off with a win than many people think.
