Making good on a promise to bring the AFL to the regional city, the Kangaroos will be expecting to claim a home ground advantage with the majority of the crowd’s support.
The game could be a chance for some of the Roos' younger brigade to impress, with several changes expected to be made to the side that went down to the Dockers last Sunday.
A big crowd is expected at the home of the club’s VFL affiliate the North Ballarat Roosters and it will be a great opportunity to see North Melbourne's stars of the future in action.
2010 memberships and merchandise will also be available.
