The North Melbourne team trained for the final time on Friday morning before its round 17 clash with Essendon.

A big crowd lined the boundary at Arden Street for a light skills session that lasted around an hour.

Debutant Jamie MacMillan was in good spirits ahead of his first match in the royal blue and white, while fellow inclusion Josh Smith also worked hard on the track.
