As it stands, Leigh Adams has a 100 per cent winning record as North Melbourne's senior coach.

Before he entered the hot seat, the Kangaroos had lost 14 consecutive games, 12 by more than 40 points. Saturday's victory under Adams continued the long tradition of the 'new coach bounce'.

Against the Tigers, North Melbourne were fierce in the contest and confident with the ball. They moved the game forward with intent and fire.

Ahead of the Kangaroos' main training session on Wednesday, Adams clarified his early resolution to 'free up' the players when they take the field.

"You lose so many games in a row and the pressure mounts on everyone," he explained in his weekly press conference.

"Players, coaches, the media probably speculate a little bit more and puts that pressure on … I'm not sure if it's the release of [that] pressure.

"When you lose game after game you start to think 'if I turn this ball over or if I make this decision, does it affect us, does it affect the team in a negative way?'

"When a new coach comes in there's really no looking at the scoreboard … it seems to be 'we'll do this and see what happens', and there's no expectations on wins or losses.

"When you've lost a fair few games in a row, you nearly forget what the feeling of winning is. For the boys to get that feeling and our supporters and members to get that feeling, it was great.

"We made them enjoy it over the weekend and then as footy does it rolls around the next week. They were in Monday, and it was moving onto the Hawks. We're really excited for another opportunity to get that feeling again."

Lately, media speculation has been drawn to the strength of the club's list, and the potential to be awarded a priority pick from the AFL.

The most recent club to receive a priority selection was Gold Coast in 2019.

The Suns were awarded the first overall pick, with which midfielder Matt Rowell was selected. Before that, Melbourne selected Tom Scully with the first pick in 2009.

As it stands, the Kangaroos currently hold the first pick in the upcoming draft, and then possess no selections until the fourth round, having parted with a future second-round selection in the swap with Richmond for Callum Coleman-Jones.

"I think everyone knows our list isn't as bullish as what's been made out ... we've got a lot of talent, but a lot of that talent is unproven at the moment," Adams said.

"We've got a really good (group of) 18 to 23-year-olds, particularly with our midfield. We need to get some more 25 to 28-year-old guys in there to help.

"Obviously (the club is) having those conversations with the AFL, but that's above my pay grade at the moment!

"Our list is good, but it’s a bit unproven at the moment I think."

North will return to Hobart for the first time since Round 15 this weekend. Standing between the Kangaroos and consecutive wins is a Hawthorn side that got the better of them in the opening round.

With both sides possessing young and exciting talent the future will be on show at Blundstone Arena on Saturday, and Adams has issued a call to Kangaroos fans to get to the game.

"Hopefully they were watching on TV last week, hopefully the weather is good down there and we can get a big crowd," he said.

"All we can do is try and play some exciting footy that wants to bring the fans there."
