Prime-time the carrot for Roos in Magpies blockbuster
North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson is viewing a rare blockbuster Friday night clash against Collingwood as a dress rehearsal for their finals aspirations.
Awarded the prime-time slot at Marvel Stadium for the first time since 2019, the 11th-placed Kangaroos are out to continue their climb up the ladder when they host the ninth-placed Magpies.
North pioneered Friday night football in the late 1980s and 1990s, before being banished to graveyard slots due to nearly a decade of poor results.
Clarkson is urging his players to embrace the opportunity as the club aims to secure their first finals appearance since 2016.
The Kangaroos are on equal 32 points with 10th-placed Carlton but have the inferior percentage, with fellow wildcard team Collingwood on 34 points.
