It’s hard to believe it is still Winter with blue skies hovering over Aegis Park on Friday during North Melbourne's final training session of the week.

The team had a light run ahead of Saturday night's do-or-die battle with the Dockers with much of the session focusing on the finer points of the game to ensure the Kangaroos are at their peak come the first bounce.

With all the planning now done, its up to the players to keep their hopes of playing deep into September alive.
