North Melbourne hosts Richmond for the first ever Friday night game at Blundstone Arena, and a number of Roos will be looking to reproduce their high-quality performances and big fantasy scores from last year’s elimination final.
Jarrad Waite and Brent Harvey were the two players who cracked the ton in the Elimination Final against the Tigers and will be two to watch closely tonight, with both looking to bounce back from quiet games last week.
Waite was held goalless for the first time in 2016 against the Swans, while Harvey had just 13 touches for the night.
However their most recent performances against the Tigers saw Waite kick a crucial bag of four goals, and Harvey gather up 31 disposals while also kicking two goals of his own.
Another to watch closely is Drew Petrie who has had some big and memorable performances against the Tigers over the years and will look to this game as a chance to break into some good form after a quiet one against the Swans.
Andrew Swallow and Jack Ziebell were also well-performed the last time these sides met and have both been in quality form to start the 2016 season.
